Regional Outlook

Updated to Q1 2021

US PET supply in the first quarter of 2021 is expected to improve as supply of feedstock monoethylene glycol (MEG) returned to normal levels and PET producers are able to ramp up operations. As Mexico ends its PET force majeure, more Mexican imports are expected to flow into the US.

US PET demand in the first quarter of 2021 is expected to remain strong, with many estimating that it will last as long as the pandemic continues to spread in the country and businesses continue to resort to resin screen dividers at work and public places, face shields and personal protective equipment (PPE) as well as drinks and food packaging.

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

The ICIS weekly report for polyethylene terephthalate or PET and intermediates covers contract prices for purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and bottle-grade PET.

The text of the report covers monthly price discussions and nominations, demand, supply outages and feedstocks.

ICIS receives input from both buyers and sellers in order to make our price assessment to the US PET market.

US contract prices for PTA or polyethylene terephthalate intermediate are established on a monthly basis by a formula based on feedstock paraxylene prices.

Because the price of US feedstock is closely linked to the paraxylenes and the PTA chain in Asia, the US report benefits from ICIS’ extensive and global market coverage.

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.
