Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Price Trend Analysis: Q2 2025

According to the PriceWatch, Q2 2025 witnessed a decline in CPVC prices, with FOB Thailand prices decreasing to 1713 USD per MT, a 4.46% drop from Q1. The price trend was mainly due to weaker demand in the construction sector, as ongoing economic concerns reduced purchasing activity. Japan’s FOB prices also saw a slight decline to 1861 USD per MT, down by 1.22%. This was attributed to softer demand from industrial users and challenges in the export market.

The price chart for both countries reflected this subdued demand trend. Indian imports from Thailand and Japan showed reduced volumes as price-sensitive buyers opted for lower-cost alternatives. Feedstock volatility continued to exert pressure on both markets, while the seasonal slowdown in demand contributed to the market’s weaker performance. Despite these challenges, both markets adjusted to the new price dynamics. 

In Q2 2025, according to the PriceWatch, India’s CPVC market saw a decline in CIF prices. CIF prices from Thailand decreased to 150,597 INR per MT, a 5.69% drop from Q1. This decline was primarily driven by a reduction in demand from the construction sector, as economic uncertainties led to slower project rollouts.

Meanwhile, CIF prices from Japan dropped to 165,932 INR per MT, reflecting a 2.90% decrease. This price trend was attributed to softer demand from industrial users and reduced export activity.
