据ICIS网站3月3日消息 根据ICIS-MRC的价格报告，由于材料短缺，俄罗斯聚丙烯（PP）的价格已经达到历史新高。
前几年，由于需求疲软和供过于求，1-2月份俄罗斯市场的聚丙烯价格变得更便宜，但今年的情况发生了巨大变化，因为外国市场的高价格施加了上涨压力。
丙烯均聚物价格从1月份开始上涨，但2月份价格上涨势头加剧。自年初以来，价格上涨了17%以上。
2月下旬，由于极端寒冷天气导致美国多家生产商计划外停产，全球市场的聚丙烯短缺加剧。
欧洲的聚丙烯短缺使价格在2月份上涨了15%，土耳其的均聚物聚丙烯上周的价格超过了1800美元/吨（成本加运费）。
年初以来，全球多个地区聚丙烯价格的如此快速上涨，也促使最大的生产商不断提高俄罗斯市场的价格。
俄罗斯一些目的地的出口价格长期高于国内。
从土库曼斯坦进口的廉价聚丙烯减少，在过去的出口贸易中，价格增长到1515美元/吨（货交承运人价/离岸价），而12月初出口价格平均为1050美元/吨。
2月份，俄罗斯市场聚丙烯供应紧张，一些转换装置无法完全满足其在聚合物方面的需求，即使在创纪录的高价格下也是如此。聚合物供应情况在3月份不太可能改善。
到2月底，一些卖家对均聚物聚丙烯的现货报价已超过13万卢布/吨（运费付至莫斯科，含增值税），而在1月初，该等级的价格未超过10.45万卢布/吨。

Russia PP prices hit record highs at start of 2021
Russian polypropylene (PP) prices have reached record highs due to a shortage of material, according to the ICIS-MRC Price report.
In previous years PP became cheaper in the Russian market in January-February because of weak demand and oversupply but the situation this year has changed dramatically as high prices in foreign markets exerted upward pressure.
The rise in prices of propylene homopolymer (homopolymer PP) began in January, but the dynamics of price growth intensified in February. Prices have increased by more than 17% since the beginning of the year.
The shortage of PP in the global markets was exacerbated in the second half of February by unplanned shutdowns of several producers in the US due to extreme cold weather.
The shortage of PP in Europe pushed prices up by 15% in February, whereas in Turkey prices of homopolymer PP raffia exceeded $1,800/tonne CFR (cost and freight) last week.
Such a rapid rise in PP prices in a number of the world’s regions since the beginning of the year also pushed the largest producers to constantly raise prices in the Russian market.
Russian producers’ export prices for a number of destinations have been higher than domestic ones for a long time.
imports of cheap PP from Turkmenistan decreased, and prices grew to $1,515/tonne FCA/FOB (free carrier/free on board) in the last export trades, whereas export prices averaged $1,050/tonne FCA/FOB in early December.
Supply of PP was tight in the Russian market in February with some converters unable to fully meet their needs in polymer, even amid record high prices. The situation with polymer availability is unlikely to improve in March.
Some sellers spot offers for homopolymer PP raffia had exceeded roubles (Rb)130,000/tonne CPT (carriage paid to) Moscow, including VAT, by late February, whereas prices of this grade did not exceed Rb104,500/tonne CPT Moscow, including VAT, in early January.
