Prices of Volume Resins Drop by Year-End

Entering 2025, prices of major commodity and volume resins are generally in a 'buyer’s market.' Prices dropped for nearly all volume resins heading to 2024’s end, signaling a buyer’s market, particularly as 2025 contract negotiations were taking place. Contributing factors included overall lackluster if not declining demand, along with lower key feedstock costs as well as lowered demand and pricing of exports.
