Why are LLDPE Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) has seen a slight decrease, moving from 6701.0 CNY/t to 6644.0 CNY/t. This suggests a modest downward trend in the raw material market, possibly due to changes in supply or demand dynamics. The forecast for LLDPE is 6640.0 CNY/t, a minor decrease of 5.0 CNY/t or -0.1% from the current price of 6644.0 CNY/t. This indicates a generally stable price trend, with minimal risk of significant fluctuations in raw material costs.
The current forecast reveals upward price pressure on raw materials due to Flows data, especially from Seaborne Imports & Exports. However, this is balanced by downward pressure from Demand, Supply, and Technical data, resulting in an overall mixed market outlook. Recent analyses suggest a bearish sentiment for the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) LLDPE market, consistent with the forecast of a price decline to 6640.0 CNY/t in the coming month.
According to a report by CommoPlast dated December 8, 2025, LLDPE futures on the DCE have continued their downward trajectory, hitting new lows compared to the previous week. The report notes limited domestic buying and persistent weakness in futures, which undermines market confidence. This indicates that the bearish sentiment is likely to continue in the near term. This external analysis aligns with the forecast of a downward trend in the DCE LLDPE market over the next month.
