Regional Outlook

Updated to Q1 2021

Supply is expected to increase, with less planned plant maintenance compared to the last quarter. A Chinese producer is undergoing plant maintenance with no estimated restart date yet, a separate Chinese producer is undergoing a month-long maintenance and a Taiwanese producer has a planned maintenance in January that may stretch longer than a month.

Demand is expected to stay mixed. There may be periods of reduced activity amid the Lunar New Year holiday, while market players will usually discuss ahead of the holiday to cover sufficient sales for producers, and sufficient stock for buyers during the holiday. Concerns on vessel and container availability and cost may continue to affect buying patterns and discussions.

Methodology

ICIS price assessments are based on information gathered from a wide cross-section of the market, comprising consumers, producers, traders and distributors from more than 250 reporters world-wide. Confirmed deals, verified by both buyer and seller, provide the foundation of our price assessments.

Our in-depth market knowledge drives our specialist focus, as we recognise the importance of individual market dynamics and not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Over 25 years of reporting on key chemicals markets, including Polyethylene terephthalate, has brought global recognition of our methodology as being unbiased, authoritative and rigorous in preserving our editorial integrity. Our global network of reporters in Houston, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Mumbai, Perth and Moscow ensures unrivalled coverage of established and emerging markets.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Methodology

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exists both as an amorphous (transparent) and a semi-crystalline (opaque and white) thermoplastic, and can be made into either a resin or a film.

Price reporting

ICIS produces a weekly report on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in Asia. The report contains spot price assessments for fibre grade, bottle grade and film grade PET chips.

Asia spot prices for bottle grade chips are quoted on a free-on-board (FOB) basis across five regions – South Korea, China, Taiwan, southeast Asia (SE Asia) and India.

The report also tracks cost & freight (CFR) northeast Asia (NE Asia) India spot prices for fibre grade, as well as prices for film grade chips on a FOB East Asia-basis.

We also provide a round-up of schedules and any unexpected shutdowns to give readers an overview of the supply situation.

Feedstock purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG) prices are an important driver of PET prices, therefore, the report includes feedstock market information and price quotations.

We speak to a cross-section of market players, producers, end users and traders to gather the information for our reports. This is then analysed and checked to eliminate bias and ensure we provide the most accurate information available on the market.

Subscribers find the report useful as it provides them with crucial up-to-date data that helps them stay ahead of the latest developments across PET markets. They use the assessments as an essential aid for their own business financial and pricing discussions.

Price history

ICIS collects pricing data on a wide range of chemical, energy and fertilizer products, including Polyethylene terephthalate. Our extensive experience in price reporting means we can offer you access to historical data dating back more than 20 years for certain commodities.

Our time series of pricing data enables you to build and model trends, to get a view of where markets might be heading. The data service includes charting functionality, allowing you to chart and download multiple data series for manipulation in your own internal models. You can also export data to Excel via the ICIS dashboard service.
