How stable is this supply base?

Is there much new product?
High-density Polyethylene had 4 new listings in the last 30 days, only a handful more than the month before. The catalog is seeing a small increase in new entries, so the selection today includes a few newer offers alongside older ones. Check the listing date when comparing offers that look similar.
Is the market busy?

Buyers interact with a group of suppliers who have a consistent history of listing, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the chance to discover fresh options with different terms or capabilities. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from High-density Polyethylene listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 29 October 2026 - 78 active listings, 7 buyer requests, 34 source documents, and 223 supply observations from the same period. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for High-density Polyethylene, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
