MOSCOW (MRC) -- In January, the imports of PET to
Ukraine increased by 3,600 tonnes and made about 6,000 tonnes which was by
1.5 times more than in December 2011, according to MRC
Datascope.
December shipments were a record low for the year, which resulted from
the accumulated stock balance in the market. In January, the
situation about inventories did not change significantly, but the converters
increased purchases to be ready for a coming season.
The structure of
supply also changed significantly. JBF Industries (UAE) had suspended the
supply of PET over the third month. In 2011, this producer was the second
largest importer in Ukraine. The South Korean material was not supplied to the
Ukrainian market.
