Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) prices in the UK remained stable during the first week of September 2025. Supply and demand factors were both contributed by normal imports and supply delivery mechanisms by ports, with no supply disruptions. Demand grew within retail at +3.1% during twice, fueled by increased food sales, providing support to demand for food packaging. Similar like the second week, prices remained flat and stable. In the third week, prices fell by 1.67%, which led to adequate feedstock supplies of ethylene, leading to reduced industrial demand. The fourth week, trading had returned to days flat, indicating a range-bound movement in prices, as stationers sourced more LLDPE and recycled blends which impacted the virgin LDPE demand side and e-commerce and food packaging continued to support demand.
