North America
In the second quarter of 2024, BOPET film prices in North America saw a significant rise due to multiple market forces. This increase was driven primarily by strong manufacturing demand and supply chain disruptions. The escalating cost of feedstock PET in April 2024 was a major contributor to higher production costs, which directly impacted BOPET film pricing. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions and logistical challenges, such as port congestion and adverse weather conditions, worsened supply constraints, driving up costs by June 2024.
In the USA, which experienced the most pronounced price hikes, seasonality played a pivotal role. The summer driving season spurred a rise in demand for packaging materials, adding pressure to an already constrained supply chain. As a result, BOPET film prices increased by 9% year-over-year and 4% from the previous quarter. By the end of the quarter, prices stood at USD 2103/MT DDP Los Angeles, reflecting a positive pricing trend for BOPET films in the region.
APAC
The BOPET film market in the APAC region witnessed a downturn in Q2 2024, though prices spiked briefly in April 2024 due to tight spot availability in the domestic market ahead of the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday. This temporary price increase was driven by a sudden shift in supply-demand dynamics and rising feedstock PET prices, raising production costs. However, the market shifted to a declining trend in May 2024, primarily due to an oversupply of PET and weakening demand from industries like packaging and electronics. Lower crude oil prices helped reduce production costs, while high inventories forced manufacturers to cut prices to remain competitive. Compared to the previous quarter, prices dropped by 2%, with BOPET film ending Q2 at USD 1098/MT Ex-Shanghai, cementing the negative pricing trend.
Europe
In Europe, Q2 2024 saw stable BOPET film prices, with the market transitioning from bearish to bullish due to opposing factors. Increased freight costs and logistical disruptions in the latter half of the quarter were offset by lower PET feedstock prices in May 2024. The overall equilibrium in the market was maintained by steady supply-demand dynamics, with robust demand from packaging and beverage bottling industries contributing to price stability. Seasonal volatility, often seen during the peak bottling season, was tempered by healthy inventories and consistent procurement patterns. Germany experienced the most notable price variations in the region, with a modest 3% increase compared to the same quarter last year. The quarter ended with BOPET film prices at USD 2059/MT FD Hamburg, reflecting a stable market environment.
