Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global
Polycarbonate Market   For the Quarter Ending
March 2021   North America   Freezing cold
temperature across the US Gulf Coast disrupted
the total polymers and petrochemicals output of
North American region in the quarter ending
March. Most of the production activities remained
curtailed due to unfavourable plant operating
conditions, thus the supply of Polycarbonate
compounds remained in narrow range throughout the
quarter. Get more info https//www.chemanalyst.

The prices of Polycarbonate witnessed month on
month increment, in January prices rose by USD
219.4 per MT followed by gradual increments in
the next month. During March, prices finally
settled down at USD 3910 per MT after rising
20.67 since January. As the production activity
across the region is resuming effectively,
Polycarbonate prices are anticipated to calm down
in upcoming quarter. Asia   The Asian market
experienced shortage of feedstock chemicals
during Q1 2021 amid moderate to high demand from
downstream end users. Feedstock Bisphenol A
supply remained critically short, while the
demand from other sectors like Epoxy resin market
remained high. Hence the prices of feedstock
chemicals skyrocketed during this time frame
across Asia. In addition, prices of other
upstream chemicals like Benzene and Propylene
experienced double-digit rise, which levied a
direct impact on the prices of Polycarbonate.
Meanwhile, the FOB prices in China, during March
settled at USD 3050 per MT after rising 127.6
since January 2021.   Europe   The European
market observed similar trends in line with other
regions, with shortage of feedstock chemicals,
amid high demand from end users. The demand from
downstream end users were observed stable to
firm, however the supply remained critical due to
lower imports from USA as the production
activities were halted due to the freezing winter
storm. In addition, imports from Asia also
remained expensive due to higher freight cost and
shortage of shipping containers. Related Report

• About
• Polycarbonate, also known as PC resin, is an
  engineering thermoplastic whose chemical
  structure contains carbonate groups. PC resins
  are lightweight with glass-like transparency,
  available in a variety of transparent and opaque
  colors and capable of retaining shape even at
  high or low temperature conditions. Polycarbonate
  resins are used in applications where excellent
  strength, heat resistance and toughness are
  required. Generally, these are formulated into
  finished parts using injection molding or
  thermoforming. Polycarbonate (PC) resins have
  end-markets in the electrical and electronic,
  construction, aviation as well as the automotive
  industry. Other consumer applications for PC
  resins include safety helmets, shields, housing
  components, water cooler bottles, sporting goods,
  aircraft and missile components as well as
  optical media storage. Due to its versatile
  properties, Polycarbonate is also blended with
  other engineering plastics to fabricate materials
  for medical purposes such as ventilators, tube
  connectors, thermometers, and anesthesia
  machines. Polycarbonate resins are commercially
  produced either by interfacial and
  transesterification or melt processes. In the
  former, Bisphenol A (BPA) is phosgenated in an
  aqueous media of Sodium Bisphenolate using
  Methylene Chloride as an organic solvent. In the
  melt procedure, BPA reacts with diphenyl
  carbonate (DPC) in the molten state in the
  absence of any solvent.
