Recent Raw Material Price Trends (December 4, 2025)
In today’s rapidly changing global economy, accurate market insights have become essential to business success. Tai Hing is committed to providing clients with professional market intelligence to support well-timed procurement decisions and achieve shared growth. Below is a summary of recent price fluctuations for key raw materials — all prices are ex-factory and tax-exclusive — compiled from reliable market data sources such as Sunsirs and Antsoo Plastic Network.
PA6
Price Trend:
From the data, PA6 showed a “bottom rebound and moderate upward movement” from November to early December, with a total increase of around 10%.
Outlook:
This rebound followed a prior decline. In the short term, prices are expected to stabilize within a narrow range, while mid-term trends will depend on supply-demand dynamics and cost margins. Industry participants are advised to stay cautiously optimistic, remain flexible amid fluctuations, and plan inventory ahead of potential rebounds.
PA66
Price Trend:
PA66 prices stabilized after reaching a phase low in November, showing a minor rebound of approximately 0.9%.
Outlook:
After a continued downtrend in early November, prices hit a bottom and entered a phase of sideways consolidation with little volatility. In the short term, expect narrow fluctuations; mid-term performance will again depend on cost and supply-demand shifts. Businesses should closely track raw material costs, market sentiment, and downstream demand, adjusting procurement and sales strategies accordingly — either adopting a wait-and-see approach or buying on dips as needed.
PBT
Price Trend:
PBT prices experienced a slight dip before stabilizing, with a cumulative decline of about 0.67%, maintaining an overall steady trajectory.
Outlook:
After minor adjustments, PBT has stabilized at a low level. With some manufacturers announcing upcoming price increases, the market indicates potential upward movement. Short term, expect limited-range fluctuations; in the medium term, pay attention to the supply-demand balance and feedstock costs. It’s advisable to maintain cautious stability, monitor raw material trends and industry data, and adapt procurement decisions in line with market signals.
PET
Price Trend:
PET prices exhibited a “bottomed-out recovery with mild rebound” from November to early December, rising by about 2.4% overall.
Outlook:
Supported by a temporary rebound in crude oil, PET prices have gradually recovered. With raw material suppliers issuing price-hike notices, the short-term trend leans slightly upward, though mid- to long-term movement depends heavily on crude oil prices and downstream demand. Expect continued range-bound fluctuations ahead.
PP
Price Trend:
From November to early December, PP experienced a decline driven by weaker crude oil and soft demand. By early December, prices hit a temporary bottom and have since stabilized slightly.
Outlook:
With crude oil beginning to climb again, PP prices showed a modest rebound in early December. Short-term focus should be on whether this upward momentum can continue. For the medium to long term, the market is likely to stay in a consolidation phase, influenced by crude oil prices and end-user demand. Advance inventory planning is recommended in anticipation of future price recovery.
