Why are PVC Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of PVC has decreased from 4,542.0 CNY/t to 4,392.0 CNY/t, indicating a downward trend in the raw material market. This decline suggests potential changes in supply-demand dynamics or broader economic factors influencing pricing. The forecast predicts a further decrease to 4,290.0 CNY/t, a 2.3% drop from the current price of 4,392.0 CNY/t, highlighting a generally downward trend. This forecast also points to potential market volatility affecting raw material prices.
The current forecast indicates a significant downward price impact of -70.0 CNY/t due to demand, particularly influenced by the global economy. While supply data suggests upward pressure, the demand, flows, and technical data indicate a decline, resulting in mixed signals for raw material prices. Recent analyses support the forecast of a potential decline in PVC prices over the next month, aligning with the projected price of 4,290.0 CNY/t. For example, ChAI Insight's December 3, 2025, report anticipates a one-month PVC price of 4,445.0 CNY/t, a decrease of 70.0 CNY/t (1.6%) from the current price of 4,515.0 CNY/t. This bearish outlook is attributed to factors such as reduced chemical imports to the United Kingdom and chemical exports from the Netherlands.
