Highlights
In 2023, the global economic environment is complicated, and the high inflation in Europe and the U.S. caused a slowdown in the economy and sluggish demand. Against the backdrop, China’s LDPE industry faced complex and changing situations. International crude oil prices stayed at highs despite the decline, so producers faced cost pressure. Although China’s LDPE capacity is expected to rise in 2023, the output is estimated to improve in early 2024, which will exert limited impacts on the supply of LDPE in 2023. Both the supply of Chinese-made and imported PE changes limitedly in 2023. With the weaker-than-expected demand recovery, orders at downstream enterprises improved slowly. The intensive unit maintenance in the middle of 2023 led to tight spot supply, giving certain support to the market. How will the supply-demand patterns of LDPE evolve in the future amid multiple factors?
By continuously tracking the development of the industry and market changes and relying on 19 years of industry analysis experience, SCI monitors the whole process from supply to demand, from upstream to downstream, from global to China, etc. Based on the massive data and scientific analysis model, SCI constantly granulates the data and deeply interprets the driving factors of the LDPE market, aiming to present customers with a comprehensive and fresh perspective on the forward-looking value.
