Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - On December 26, 2025, the plastic market showed a pattern of oscillating upward, but the overall supply - demand situation remained unchanged, and the recent upward space of plastic is expected to be limited. Due to new plastic production capacity coming on - stream and the gradual exit of the agricultural film peak season, the L - PP spread is expected to decline [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - On December 26, the change in maintenance devices was small, and the plastic operating rate remained at about 87.5%, at a neutral level.
