A tight supply of POM and PMMA meant prices continued to increase in June
POM producers were determined to rebuild profit margins in Q2, achieving previously announced planned price hikes of €300/tonne in June. Sellers’ efforts to raise prices were supported by a virtual absence of imported material in Europe and tight availability from local suppliers. PMMA producers achieved price gains of €100/tonne during Q2 supported by rising MMA prices, low import volumes and very tight local material availability.
