The US BOPP film industry experienced price stability in both weeks, unaffected by the 4.42% fall in feedstock polypropylene prices during the second week. Strong demand from FMCG and the packaging industries supported the market, with untroubled logistics. DuPont's expansion of its 16,000 ft虏 Costa Rica healthcare packaging facility and FirmaPak's purchase of Lighthouse Packaging and Birch Biosciences' enzymatic recycling patent agreement, emphasized robust demand for BOPP film growth and innovation.
鈥�听听听听听听听听听听听听 China: Edgy Price Decline and Ongoing Congestion
Chinese BOPP film export prices fell by 0.16% in the first week of June primarily due to muted export activity and seasonal production adjustments during the Dragon Boat Festival, which temporarily reduced operating rates. Despite stable feedstock polypropylene prices, weak overseas BOPP film demand, particularly from the EU placed downward pressure due to stricter regulatory and scrutiny. By the second week, BOPP film market sentiments stabilized even as global crude oil prices jumped 10% on June 13. In the meantime, domestic FMCG demand picked up with a moderate recovery in consumer spending. Further, some ports are congested during this period which declined the overseas orders from the potential customers.

The Indian BOPP film market remained stable through mid-June, supported by consistent demand from the flexible packaging sector and steady pre-booked imports from China and Malaysia, which offset potential disruptions from ongoing Shanghai port congestion. Despite stable feedstock polypropylene prices and limited domestic production expansion, the availability of competitively priced imports helped maintain pricing equilibrium. While importers limited new orders in a cautious procurement environment, downstream usage remained strong, enabling India to maintain its re-export flows to Japan, UAE, and Spain. In addition, government initiatives such as PMKSY (Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana) and PMFME (PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme), along with the implementation of new BIS Quality Control Orders, reinforced long-term structural support for food-grade packaging demand.
鈥�听听听听听听听听听听听听 Germany: Price Stability Amid Logistical Strains
The German BOPP film industry witnessed a 0.4% price decline in the first week of June, following a 1% drop in feedstock polypropylene prices. The market stabilized in the second week as producers adjusted output levels to balance inventory and costs. Downstream demand for BOPP film was muted in the first week, largely due to ongoing uncertainty over the EU鈥檚 Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, which suppress buying confidence. However, steady offtake from the FMCG sector and a gradual recovery in export orders during the second week helped restore some market sentiment, preventing further price erosion.
果酱视频, anticipates BOPP film market to remain stable in the coming weeks, supported by consistent FMCG demand, recovering consumer sentiment, and ongoing packaging innovation. However, lingering Asian port congestion and regulatory headwinds in Europe will disrupt BOPP film export. Import-dependent markets like India and Mexico will monitor global logistics closely, while U.S. and Chinese markets will adjust to shifting crude and feedstock cost pressures.
