Producer prices for HDPE pipe were up 4.6% M/M (up 8.1% last month) and were up 61.5% Y/Y (up 58.1% Y/Y last month). Plastic pipe fittings and unions were up 2.6% M/M (up 6.3% last month) and were up 41.2% Y/Y (up 31.8% last month).
Hurricane Ida did have some impact on production, but mostly on a temporary basis. Most firms lost 2-5 days of production but are getting back to “normal.”
