Regional overview

China

China’s polyethylene (PE) imports are expected to remain strong for the rest of the year, after posting record volumes in January to April 2018, amid turnarounds at domestic facilities. Buyers in China have been accumulating imported PE cargoes as these were priced lower compared to futures prices since the start of the year.

More cargoes will be available to China as new capacities in the US are expected to boost production. For May, the country’s PE imports are projected to reach 1.2m tonnes, higher than the monthly average in the first four months of 2018.
