Local PP market in Indonesia nosedived; PE sector dropped moderately on persistently sluggish demand

It is important to note that the maker’s official price list has been at the upper end of the overall range for some time and the reductions are necessary considering the competitive offers in the distribution front and the import ground.



For the second week in a row, a major Indonesian producer decided to slash local PP and PE offers to stimulate buying activities following a prolonged period of lethargic demand and the appreciation of the Rupiah against the US dollar.  

The producer’s latest price list and changes compared to last week are shown in the following table:

It is important to note that the maker’s official price list has been at the upper end of the overall range for some time and the reductions are necessary considering the competitive offers in the distribution front and the import ground. 

“But the steep fall severely impacted buyers’ confidence. Besides, a series of restarts at regional plants further encouraged customers to adopt a wait-and-see stance instead of procuring cargoes now,” a trading house commented.
