ABS prices steady after January rise

ABS is holding steady into early February after building through January. The latest weekly check shows the marker unchanged, keeping Indian ABS prices close to the strongest point seen in the past month. That steadiness has reduced short-term uncertainty for spot assessments and contract references.

At Rs 148/kg on 02 Feb 2026, the market was flat versus 26 Jan 2026 and also unchanged against 19 Jan 2026 on a fortnight view. Over the past month from 03 Jan 2026, the assessment is higher by Rs 8/kg, showing the scale of the January lift. Prices during the last 30 days ran between about Rs 140/kg and Rs 148/kg, placing today’s level at the recent high around Rs 148/kg. Daily changes were mostly small, so the month view is defined more by the earlier step-up than by fresh swings.

On wider time frames, the three-month comparison to 04 Nov 2025 shows a net move of up Rs 10/kg, while the six-month view from 06 Aug 2025 is down Rs 8/kg. That mixed backdrop leaves ABS prices in India firm on the month view but not uniformly stronger across the half-year window. With Indian ABS prices still clustered near Rs 148/kg, trading signals limited volatility even as the market sits near recent highs, and the month’s low near Rs 140/kg remains the key downside reference, ABS, ABS Prices, Polymer Market, Stable Market, January Rise.

ABS steadies on weekly view while month trend improves

Domestic ABS markets have entered a calmer phase, with weekly prices holding steady even as the broader trend shows improvement. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene closed at Rs 125/kg this week, unchanged from the previous assessment. While the lack of weekly movement may appear neutral, a comparison with levels seen two weeks earlier shows a rise of about Rs 3/kg, indicating that Indian ABS prices are gradually recovering from recent softness.

The month-on-month comparison strengthens this view. Early-month prices were closer to Rs 120/kg, meaning current levels are now positioned above recent lows. This shift reflects a modest reclaim of ground rather than a sharp rebound. Over a three-month horizon, however, ABS remains below the higher territory observed last quarter, when prices were nearer Rs 130/kg. The longer-term picture therefore remains mixed, combining recovery with restraint.

Trading activity has stayed measured, with moderate volatility and no abrupt swings. The broader range continues to be defined by a lower band around Rs 120/kg and an upper reference near Rs 158/kg. At the current Rs 125/kg level, ABS sits away from the bottom of the range but still well short of prior peaks. This balance keeps procurement decisions cautious, with ABS prices in India offering stability rather than momentum, ABS Prices, ABS Polymers, Plastic Market, Polymer Industry, Weekly Market, Monthly Trend, Price Stability, Commodity Plastics, Chemical Market, Industry Update.

ABS market steady week-on-week, softer on month view

ABS prices in Mumbai were flat this week, signalling short-term stability after losses earlier in December. Indian ABS prices were assessed at Rs 140/kg on January 5, 2026, unchanged from the prior week. While weekly movement was absent, the broader context shows the market operating below levels seen at the start of the quarter, with trading activity remaining calm and predictable.

Recent comparisons underline the downward adjustment. Over the past fortnight, ABS slipped from Rs 145/kg on December 22 to Rs 140/kg, a decline of Rs 5/kg. The month-on-month view mirrors this move, with prices also Rs 5/kg lower than the Rs 145/kg recorded on December 6. Over the last 30 days, the trading band has been defined by highs near Rs 145/kg and lows around Rs 138/kg, indicating that volatility has remained limited even as benchmarks shifted lower. Indian ABS prices have therefore stabilised within a narrower, lower range.

Looking further back, the three-month reference point of Rs 150/kg on October 7 places current values Rs 10/kg lower. The six-month anchor at Rs 157/kg on July 9 shows a wider gap, with today’s assessment Rs 17/kg below mid-2025. Over a 90-day view, the range has held between roughly Rs 150/kg and Rs 138/kg, but the centre of trading has moved down. Within this framework, ABS prices in India are positioned near support around Rs 138/kg, with resistance seen near Rs 145/kg, ABS Market, ABS Prices, Polymer Market, Petrochemicals, Plastics Industry, Chemical Markets, Market Update, ABS India, Resins Market, Polymer News.
