Polypropylene Price Trend Q2 2026 | Forecast, Chart, Prices & Index

The Polypropylene Price Trend during Q2 2026 was marked by an unusually sharp increase across major global markets. Polypropylene, commonly known as PP, is widely used in packaging, automotive parts, household products, films, fibers, containers, and many everyday plastic products. Because PP production depends heavily on propylene, naphtha, crude oil, energy, transportation, and overall supply conditions, changes in these areas can quickly affect Polypropylene Prices. 

During the second quarter of 2026, geopolitical tensions and disruption risks around crude oil and naphtha supply created strong upward pressure on the PP market. The quarter was unusual because price increases were not limited to one region. Markets in Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East, and South America all experienced significant increases. 

European markets saw some of the largest movements, while markets such as the USA, Mexico, Canada, China, India, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia also recorded substantial gains. By June, however, the market began showing early signs of correction as feedstock prices and geopolitical risk premiums started to ease.
