Synthetic Resins in the US Procurement Price, Data and Insights
Synthetic resins, also commonly known as plastics, are man-made resins that harden when initially exposed to heat or pressure. Synthetic resins come in two main types: thermoset plastics and thermoplastics. Thermoset plastics are irreversibly cured, which means that, unlike thermoplastics, they cannot be reheated and melted into different shapes once set into a solid state. Key buyers include plastic film, sheet, and bag manufacturers, plastic pipe and part manufacturers, tire manufacturers, and semiconductor and electronic component manufacturers.

What is the supply chain risk for Synthetic Resins?
US net exporter status broadens supplier base and strengthens negotiation leverage. The United States' role as a net exporter of synthetic resins provides buyers with an abundant domestic supply and reduces dependence on imports. This supply surplus gives procurement teams more options and greater negotiation leverage, enabling them to secure more favorable terms and pricing. Buyers should capitalize on this dynamic by fostering competition among local suppliers and diversifying their vendor portfolio to mitigate the risks of global supply disruptions.
What factors affect the price of Synthetic Resins?
Regulatory compliance significantly affects the pricing of synthetic resins by imposing costs related to safety, environmental standards, and production processes. For example, compliance with the European Union's REACH regulations requires manufacturers to register chemical substances, which can lead to increased operational costs, ultimately reflected in higher prices for thermoplastics and thermoset plastics.
