Dow CEO Says Petrochemical Supply Disruptions to Persist in 2026 - Bloomberg.com

Petrochemical Supply Chain / Dow Chemical

Summary

Persistent petrochemical supply disruptions into 2026 will elevate input costs for engineering plastics (PEX, PP, PVDF) and elastomers (EPDM, HNBR) critical to Viega's injection-moulding and seal operations. Extended supply tightness may compress margins on plastic-intensive product lines and force forward-buying or inventory hedging decisions.
