When China becomes the expensive option, something has changed.
Chinese PP and PE offers have surged to levels that are reshuffling the price hierarchy in Southeast Asia with an increasingly visible gap emerging against competing origins.
That is a striking reversal for a country whose massive supply helped cushion the region when Middle Eastern flows were first disrupted.
Where do Chinese PP and PE offers stand now? How wide has the gap with competing origins become? And how can a market still struggling with structural overcapacity suddenly find itself short of competitively priced material?

Europeโs polymer imports barely moved in H1 2026. But that headline hides a striking divergence.
While total EU27 imports slipped by around 1% year on year, PP, PVC, PS and PET all increased. PE alone fell sharply, down 12%.
Why was PE different?
ChemOrbis Stats Wizard data point to major changes in sourcing patterns as Middle Eastern supply was disrupted. Yet while other polymer markets found alternative suppliers, particularly across Asia, the adjustment in PE followed a very different path.
We dig into the supplier shifts behind the headline numbers and what they tell us about Europeโs evolving dependence on imported polymers.
