China LDPE Domestic Prices: Key Market Insights for June 2025

In June 2025, China’s LDPE domestic market is witnessing a measured upward price trend, signaling cautious optimism among market players. As demand gradually stabilizes across end-use industries—especially in food packaging and agriculture—LDPE prices have started to reflect tightening supply and modest downstream activity.

According to recent market assessments:

  • China’s LDPE spot prices rose from RMB 9,350/MT on June 15 to around RMB 9,683.33/MT by June 17, marking a ~3.5% increase within two days.

  • CFR Asia offers for film-grade LDPE were assessed at USD 1,140–1,180/MT, up by approximately USD 10/MT week-on-week, as Chinese suppliers positioned competitively in export markets.

Key Market Drivers:

  1. Supply Tightness: Ongoing plant maintenance and controlled production levels across East China have led to constrained availability.

  2. Steady Export Demand: Chinese-origin LDPE remains attractive in Southeast Asian markets due to favourable currency exchange and lower logistics costs.

  3. Feedstock Volatility: Ethylene prices and upstream naphtha trends are influencing LDPE input costs globally, feeding into localized pricing.

Domestic LDPE film grades remain in focus, with traders closely watching the pricing direction ahead of seasonal packaging demand in Q3. Buyers are also navigating geopolitical uncertainty, freight rate adjustments, and the overall sentiment in China’s manufacturing sector.

Understanding Polymer Cost Fluctuations: Main Reasons and Smart Solutions

Polymer price fluctuations can disrupt everything—from raw material procurement to manufacturing schedules and sales planning. For manufacturers, traders, and sourcing teams, staying ahead of these price shifts isn’t optional—it’s essential. Let’s break down why these fluctuations happen and how to deal with them efficiently. What Causes Polymer Price Fluctuations? 1. Raw Material Price Swings The most significant factor? Raw materials. Polymers are derived from crude oil and natural gas, so any increase in energy prices directly impacts polymer production costs. When oil prices climb, so do polymer rates. How to Manage It: Track global oil and gas prices weekly. Maintain a historical database to identify patterns and predict movements. 2. Supply and Demand Disruptions If a major plant shuts down or there's a supply chain bottleneck, polymer availability shrinks—and prices spike. On the other hand, oversupply pushes prices down. How to Manage It: Build strong relationships with mul...
