Propylene Price Forecasts & Market Foresight Q3 2026
Outlook: Strongly Bearish
Confidence: High
Propylene prices are expected to remain under strong downward pressure globally during Q3 2026, driven by weaker crude oil and naphtha feedstock costs, ample production availability, and subdued demand from polypropylene and downstream chemical sectors.
Asia is likely to witness the sharpest correction amid abundant regional supply, while Europe may face continued price declines due to comfortable inventories. North America is expected to experience a comparatively moderate correction, supported by balanced supply-demand fundamentals.
