Resin Market Moves | Christmas Edition – 2026 Resin Price Outlook for Buyers

Welcome to the Christmas Edition of Resin Market Moves, powered by ResinSmart. As we head into 2026, North American resin markets remain buyer-friendly, but suppliers are beginning to position for margin recovery. In this episode, Michael Workman breaks down what’s happening across PE, PP, PVC, PS, PET, and engineering resins — and what resin buyers should be doing now to protect leverage next year. This Episode Covers: Polyethylene (PE) • Producers pushing 5–7¢ increases for December/January • Demand still weak despite higher operating rates • Spot availability remains strong Polypropylene (PP) • Prices down sharply from earlier in 2025 • Market near the bottom of the cycle • PDH reliability and winter weather are the key Q1 2026 risks PVC • Structurally weak market • Housing and construction demand still soft • Expect concessions and spot discounts Polystyrene (PS) • Benzene-driven noise • Weak demand limits pricing momentum Engineering Resins (ABS, PC, Nylon 6/66) • Oversupply across the board • Selective volatility expected — not a broad upcycle PET • Balanced-to-soft fundamentals • Buyer leverage remains despite tariff headlines Key Buyer Takeaway for 2026 The biggest risk for resin buyers next year isn’t short-term price movement — it’s non-market margin creep as leverage shifts. Winning in 2026 means benchmarking pricing, planning deliberately, and negotiating with data instead of narratives. 👉 Learn more at https://www.resinsmart.ai 👉 Start a free trial: https://app.resinsmart.ai/free-trial #ResinMarketMoves #ResinPrices #Polyethylene #Polypropylene #PVC #EngineeringResins #PlasticsIndustry #SupplyChain #2026Outlook
