Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Film Price Trend Q1 2026

During the first quarter of 2026, there has been a marked rise in price of Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film in North America, with prices rising around 7% from the last quarter. Demand has been increasing, due to risingconsumption and active restocking activity.

Some of the sources of this demand growth are from flexible packaging, labelling and industrial applications. More participants have also been purchasing, although much of this purchase activity is still somewhat strategic, with many participants expecting prices to go up materially over time.

Prices for feedstock Polypropylene (PP) have remained firm, thus providing continued cost/price momentum to BOPP film manufacturers and helping sustain the price increase trajectory, while production facilities have been operated at controlled rates in order to manage output more closely in line with increasing demand, and thus avoid creating too much inventory.

Additionally, logistics and feedstock supply have both been affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, further tightening supply. Overall, the sentiment in the market is firm and bullish at best, driven by supply constraints, increased costs and improving demand fundamentals.
