The U.S. polypropylene market ended June on a weak footing, with lower feedstock costs and subdued downstream demand continuing to weigh on prices. By the end of June, limited purchasing activity and competitive seller pricing reflected cautious buyer sentiment despite stable production levels. The Copolymer DEL Houston benchmark recorded a monthly decline, highlighting the broader weakness across polypropylene grades. Lower polymer-grade propylene prices and uninterrupted resin production further contributed to softer market conditions, while temporary supply disruptions at a Texas facility had only a limited impact on overall availability. Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain under pressure unless downstream demand strengthens or feedstock costs begin to recover.
