Market sources in East Africa have reported that a prominent Saudi Arabian producer has issued a new price offer for its HDPE Film (GF1442) grade. The offer has been heard at USD 1210 per metric ton, with shipment scheduled for September 2025. The material is being quoted on a CFR basis at Maputo port, Mozambique, highlighting the continued flow of Middle Eastern polymer supplies into East African markets.
Industry observers note that this pricing move comes amid steady procurement activity from regional converters and packaging manufacturers, who rely heavily on HDPE Film for flexible packaging and industrial applications. With freight markets still facing fluctuations and feedstock costs exerting pressure on producers, the latest offer is expected to set a benchmark for negotiations in the coming weeks. Market participants will be closely watching how buyers in East Africa respond to the Saudi producer’s strategy, as the region continues to balance growing demand with global supply chain uncertainties.
