Why are PVC Prices so high?
29-01-2026 - Over the past month, the price of PVC has risen from 4521.0 CNY/t to 4650.0 CNY/t, indicating a strengthening market for this raw material. This increase suggests potential changes in supply or demand dynamics. The forecast predicts a further rise to 4705.0 CNY/t, a 1.2% increase from the current 4650.0 CNY/t, suggesting a generally stable trend with minimal risk due to the modest price change.
The forecast also highlights a significant downward price impact of -35.0 CNY/t driven by demand, particularly from the global economy. However, supply and technical data indicate upward pressure, resulting in a mixed outlook for raw material prices.
Recent analyses point to a potential upward trend in the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) PVC market over the next month. According to ChemAnalyst, U.S. PVC prices began to rise in early January 2026, fueled by expectations of supply cuts and improved market sentiment. This development suggests that similar supply-side factors could influence the DCE PVC market, potentially leading to price increases. This external analysis supports the forecasted upward movement in the DCE PVC market.
