Market sources attribute the supply constraints to ongoing and upcoming maintenance shutdowns at key petrochemical facilities across Southeast Asia, which have tightened the availability of both PP and PE cargoes. However, Indonesia’s lower reliance on PE imports has mitigated the impact on local PE prices.

“Both domestic PE plants are currently operating, ensuring sufficient supply. In contrast, the PP market is more constrained. Certain PP grades are expected to face tighter supply, but weak demand for end-products limits our ability to build significant inventory,” a buyer commented.

Despite upward pressure on prices from currency fluctuations and reduced import volumes, the local market has not exhibited signs of panic buying. Most buyers remain adequately stocked and are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the near term.
