LLDPE Prices

15-04-2026 - Over the past month, the price of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) has seen a notable increase, climbing from 7,186 CNY per ton to 8,260 CNY per ton. This upward movement indicates either a rise in demand or constraints in supply within the raw material market. The forecast anticipates a slight increase in LLDPE prices to 8,395 CNY per ton, a 1.6% rise from the current level, suggesting a relatively stable trend with minimal risk due to the modest price change.

The forecast highlights upward price pressure on raw materials, influenced by factors such as Flows, Supply, and Technical data. Among these, Flows, particularly from Seaborne Imports and Exports, have the most significant impact. However, Demand data indicates a potential downward pressure, resulting in a mixed market outlook.

Contrasting with the forecast, recent data from the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) shows a downward trend in LLDPE futures prices. On March 31, 2026, the May LLDPE contract closed at 8,614 CNY per metric ton, reflecting a 4.48% decrease from the previous settlement. This decline suggests a bearish sentiment in the market, which contrasts with the forecasted upward price movement to 8,395 CNY per ton in the coming month.
