Market Overview
South Korea remained the priciest polyketone market tracked here through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 3799/MT against Q1's USD 3732/MT, up 1.8%. Steady engineering-plastics demand kept a floor under the market, and the firmer carbon monoxide and ethylene feedstock costs added their own pull. The global average moved from USD 3574/MT to a value of USD 3638/MT, a similar gain of just a 1.8% percent. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 3600 to 3900/MT looks likely worldwide, supported by dependable automotive-interior demand.
Polyketone is made by alternating copolymerization of carbon monoxide with ethylene, and in some grades propylene, using a palladium catalyst. Extrusion applications for fuel-barrier pipe pull a substantial share of demand, the polymer valued for the exceptional resistance it offers against fuel permeation. Injection molding for engineering-plastics parts and high-impact automotive interior components round out the remainder. Three things move the price: the carbon monoxide and ethylene feedstock costs, the automotive-sector demand tied to fuel-line and interior-component production, and the engineering-plastics demand across broader industrial applications.
Polyketone Price Forecast for 2026
The second half of 2026 (H2 2026) opened firm across every market tracked here. South Korea and Germany both saw the steady engineering-plastics demand support firmer pricing. The United States kept fuel-barrier pipe demand building, and China's large domestic production base kept it the most affordable of the four, even as the local demand firmed alongside everyone else.
A couple of factors bear watching. A carbon monoxide or ethylene feedstock cost spike, or a stronger than expected automotive-sector rebound, could actually push the prices past the top of the range. A slowdown in engineering-plastics or automotive-interior demand could pull the market below the floor instead.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 3600 - 3900 | Automotive and engineering-plastics demand support |
| China | 3225 - 3495 | Large production base keeps China most affordable |
| United States | 3645 - 3950 | Steady fuel-barrier pipe demand |
| South Korea | 3755 - 4070 | Established polyketone production commands premium |
| Germany | 3825 - 4145 | Steady engineering-plastics demand |
