What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional transparency, impact resistance, and heat stability. It is widely used in automotive components, electronics, construction glazing, packaging, medical devices, and optical media. Its lightweight nature and durability make it a preferred material in applications requiring safety, clarity, and mechanical strength.

Factors Affecting Polycarbonate Prices
1. Feedstock Costs (Bisphenol-A & Phosgene)
Polycarbonate production is heavily influenced by fluctuations in bisphenol-A (BPA) and phosgene prices. Any changes in crude oil or phenol markets directly impact PC pricing.

2. Demand from Key Industries
Automotive, electronics, construction, and consumer goods sectors are major PC consumers. Growth or slowdown in these industries significantly affects PC price movements.

3. Supply Availability & Plant Operations
Scheduled maintenance, production disruptions, or capacity expansions at major plants in Asia, Europe, and North America influence global supply levels and pricing trends.

4. Global Economic Conditions
Economic slowdowns reduce consumption in electronics and auto segments, while strong economic activity supports higher demand and firmer prices.

5. Trade Policies & Tariffs
Import duties, anti-dumping measures, and regional trade agreements can alter competitive dynamics and price levels across markets.

6. Energy and Logistics Costs
Higher electricity, gas, and freight rates increase manufacturing and transportation costs, pushing PC prices upward.

7. Inventory Levels
High inventories lead to price corrections, while tight stock levels often support premium pricing.

Polycarbonate Supply and Prices - November 2025 Overview
