Why are PVC Prices so high?
15-04-2026 - Over the past month, the price of PVC has seen a slight decrease, moving from 4914.0 CNY/t to 4894.0 CNY/t. This minor drop reflects small fluctuations in market conditions. The forecast predicts a rise to 4970.0 CNY/t, a 1.5% increase from the current price of 4894.0 CNY/t, suggesting a generally stable trend with minimal risk, as the price change is only 75.0 CNY/t.
The forecast indicates upward pressure on raw material prices, primarily influenced by Flows data, including Seaborne Imports & Exports and Exchange Rates, contributing a combined impact of 60.0 CNY/t. However, Technical data presents a potential downward trend, resulting in mixed market signals.
A LinkedIn post by TSK Group Vietnam from early April 2026 projects a continued upward trend in the global PVC market. This is attributed to rising geopolitical tensions affecting petrochemical supply chains. They predict PVC prices could increase by an additional 5–12% in April 2026, particularly impacting the Asian market due to its dependency on imports. This outlook aligns with the forecast of a price increase to 4970.0 CNY/t for the DCE PVC market in the coming month.
