Polyethylene Latin America

The polyethylene (PE) report for Latin America provides domestic prices for the most widely used grades of PE in several key Latin American markets.

It has prices from Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, assessed in the domestic currencies of each country – a unique feature of ICIS reports.

It also includes commentary on feedstocks, plant outages, policy changes, news and currency fluctuations.

A table with international prices is also included to facilitate comparisons for import/export operations. We talk to buyers, producers, distributors and traders every week to obtain a good cross section of market information.

We also assess the data using ICIS intelligence about upstream and downstream markets, including logistics, seasonal patterns and historical data.

ICIS provides producers, traders, consultants, analysts, transformers and consumers with key price assessments, and uses that to bring market transparency.
