China’s Major Polyolefin Producers Report Slight Inventory Increase
Total polyolefin stocks were reported at around 810,000 tons on May 22, showing an increase of 5,000 tons from the previous week, which represents a rise of less than 1%.
Market participants said demand from downstream sectors has weakened further as the seasonal slowdown intensified, while domestic supply availability, especially for PE, remained sufficient.
Players also noted that comfortable buyer inventories and softer upstream market trends have continued to keep overall trading activity subdued.
