It is not surprising that Indonesian buyers maintain a reluctant stance in accepting the new offers. Besides the lower operating rates, demand in the thermoforming cup and household items that use injection grades has been declining since the lockdown takes place.
“We think the producer is following the development in the international market, however, the demand in Indonesia is not strong enough to accept any hike at the moment,” a market source added.
Indonesia remains under COVID-19 related lockdown as the number of daily infection cases hit a record high. Market players are ready for a lockdown extension until the outbreak is under control.
