June European prices for thermoplastic polymers continued to grow at the expense of a further increase in raw material costs.  most polymer manufacturers have focused on the price increase, due to rising costs, while others have sought to expand their profits. However, buyers managed to limit the increase in prices to an acceptable level.

 Prices of linear polyethylene LDPE decreased to € 15-25 (£ 12- £ 21) per tonne by improving the supply, despite the increase in the cost of ethylene to € 25 (£ 21) per tonne. Prices of HDPE for injection molding and blow molding have not changed compared to the prices in May. on HDPE film prices have fallen to € 30 (£ 25) per ton as a result of import pressure.

 Prices blown polypropylene, it was mostly stable over the month and amounted to € 17,50 (£ 14,64) per ton. Prices for polystyrene showed an increase to € 30 (£ 25) per tonne, which is only half of the increase in styrene monomer costs. Only in the PVC sector, where the supply is quite tight, producers received income in excess of raw material costs.

 In June, the number of polymer production and cracking plants that were scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of technical work, are back on stream. As a result of the presence of the material has been provided for some polymer classes, especially polyethylene and polystyrene. In addition, the situation with the supply of plastic is much less affected by the strikes in France, as originally feared manufacturers.
