Chemical Conversations: K-show plastics preview: Transparent polymers pricing in Southeast Asia

In the lead-up to K, the world’s largest plastics and rubber event, our limited podcast series, ‘K-show plastics preview’, features Argus experts discussing the latest market developments across key polymer and feedstock sectors. From pricing trends and policy shifts to regional supply dynamics, the series offers timely insights to help industry participants stay informed and ahead of the curve.

This week, we turn to Southeast Asia’s polymer markets, with Yee Ying Ang, Senior Reporter for Polymers, and Timo Tumuscheit, VP Business Development for Chemicals in Asia, joining James Elliott to unpack the region’s pricing dynamics and Argus’ methodology.

Key topics discussed:

  • How seasonal shifts and trade policy are influencing polymer demand across Southeast Asia’s key markets.

  • How Argus assesses polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) prices in Southeast Asia, including how spot market activity and market sentiment are captured.

  • The role of transparency and multi-source verification in building market confidence.
