Townsend Solutions, Feb 2011, Pages: 11
Know where your company stands in relation to others in the plastics industry. Townsend's Plastic Market Monthly (PMM) Reports track over 60 specific grades of PE, PET, PP, PS & PVC resins. Townsend collects actual data from resin buyers to provide you three key benchmarks: price, inventory levels & future demand. Market participants recognize the Plastic Market Monthly reports as the source presenting the most accurate data available anywhere, at any price.
Townsend's PMM has a unique approach to surveying the plastics market to provide you real transaction prices, inventory levels & demand outlook for nine different resin types... Townsend surveys plastic processors to capture real data from buyers.
Information contained in each of the monthly reports is derived from a standardized survey of converters conducted at the beginning of each month. PMM uses both market knowledge and systems to validate data. PMM staff is continually gaining knowledge of the market by conversing with buyers and sellers plus monitoring market news. All data is thoroughly analyzed and verified by editors.
This method enables subscribers to evaluate:
- Real transactional pricing by grade;
- Inventory at converting sites;
- Converters' anticipated short-term demand
- Off-spec pricing as leading price indicator;
- Price range of the marketplace.
Benchmarks:
- Actual Prices Paid by Converters.
- Days of Resin Supply at Converters at month end
- Future Resin Demand of Converters based on converter's projected resin deliveries
- Resin Volume Under Price Protection beyond 30-day grace period and written in contracts
In addition to the benchmarks listed above, the PMM provides you with inventory analysis of suppliers, operating rates for converters & suppliers, feedstock prices, import & export balances, key US economic trends, and monthly features showing supplier’s capacities, historical trends, and market share by resin, process and end-use markets, plus a view of the bottom and top of the market via our 10th and 90th percentiles.
