Overwraps
February 2023 News for Overwraps
LLDPE resin prices increased by about 3% in February for North America.
In Europe, LLDPE resin prices continued to soften although we expect higher prices by March
Asian LLDPE resin prices moved upward in China and Southeast Asia in February.
2023 Forecast Update Highlights
L/LLDPE resin prices had declined through much of the latter part of 2022 but the trend has come to an end.
Resin in all regions will be higher but Latin America will experience the most inflation in 2023 because pricing in the region has been more depressed in the area over the past several months.
