Why are PVC Prices so high?
05-02-2026 - Over the past month, the price of PVC has risen from 4,478.0 CNY/t to 4,819.0 CNY/t, indicating a strengthening market for this raw material. This increase may be due to supply constraints or heightened demand. The forecast for PVC is 4,815.0 CNY/t, a slight decrease from the current price, representing a -0.1% change. This generally flat forecast suggests minimal risk of significant price fluctuations in the near term.
The current forecast also highlights a notable downward price impact of -30.0 CNY/t, primarily driven by demand factors, especially from the global economy. However, supply and technical data indicate upward pressure, resulting in a mixed outlook for PVC prices.
According to an analysis by ChemOrbis, the European PVC market is expected to trend upward in February 2025, influenced by anticipated increases in ethylene costs and potential supply constraints. This suggests a possible rise in PVC prices, which contrasts with the forecasted price decrease to 4,815.0 CNY/t in the DCE PVC market for the upcoming month. This divergence indicates a contrary opinion from external sources regarding the future direction of PVC prices.
