Polypropylene Latin America

The polypropylene (PP) report for Latin America covers domestic prices for raffia and injection grades of PP in several key Latin American markets. It includes prices for Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Chile as assessed in the domestic currencies of each country – a unique feature of ICIS reports.  

Commentary covers feedstocks, plant outages, policy changes, news, currency fluctuations and more. A table with international prices facilitates comparisons between imports and exports.

We talk to buyers, producers, distributors and traders every week to obtain a good cross section of market data. We later assess the data with our own internal intelligence about upstream and downstream markets to generate the final assessment.

Market participants provide a view of the market, which we analyse and contextualise to deliver a more comprehensive report that reflects the bigger picture.
