What is LDPE?
LDPE is a semi-crystalline standard thermoplastic with a branched molecular structure.
It is soft, tough and easy to process, and is extruded above all into films. LDPE prices set the cost base of many film and packaging applications.

Where is LDPE used?
LDPE is mainly converted into blown and cast films (shrink and stretch films, bags, sacks, agricultural films) as well as coatings and flexible packaging.

Top 5 application markets for LDPE
pricenxt provides structured price data and analysis views for LDPE, supporting a consistent basis for planning, procurement, and pricing.
-
Food packagingFood packaging uses large volumes of PE, PP, and PET – price movements feed directly into unit costs.Learn more
-
Industrial packagingIndustrial packaging consumes large volumes of PE and PP – from stretch films to jerrycans, polymer prices feed directly into unit costs.Learn more
-
Non-food packagingNon-food packaging combines PP, PE, PS, PVC, and PET – a broad material mix with differing price dynamics.Learn more
-
Greenhouses & agricultural filmsGreenhouse, mulch and silage films consist predominantly of LDPE and LLDPE – price movements hit film costs immediately.Learn more
-
Beverage packagingBeverage packaging is strongly PET-driven – PET price movements feed through particularly directly here.Learn more

What makes LDPE distinctive?
LDPE is the classic film polymer with broad use across packaging. Price series make regions and transaction types comparable in a transparent way.
Material and price logic
LDPE combines straightforward processing with high film quality. Regionally different sourcing routes (domestic, imports) shape price formation.
- Film material: soft, tough, and ideal for shrink, stretch, and packaging films.
- Regions and transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct as well as spot imports and spot domestic allow detailed comparison.
- Packaging relevance: sensitive to the olefin cost base and the packaging cycle.
Market relevance
LDPE prices matter for companies that have to buy film- and packaging-related materials, cost them or take them into account in price negotiations.
- Procurement: teams can factor price movements into their purchasing plans at an early stage.
- Pricing: price series support structured discussions on material costs and price adjustment mechanisms.
- Controlling: price histories help document cost assumptions in a traceable way.
