Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Price Trend Q1 2026
In Q1 2026, the global Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound market has been showing a mixed price trend across key regions. In the APAC region, Australia has been witnessing a slight decline due to moderate demand and sufficient material availability, while Vietnam has been recording an overall increase within the range of 0.5–8%, supported by improved procurement activity and stable downstream consumption.
In India, prices have also been increasing within a similar range, driven by steady demand from construction, wire, and cable sectors along with improved trading activity. Overall, regional trends have remained varied, influenced by demand fluctuations and supply conditions.
In the last month of the quarter, prices have been increasing across most regions, supported by stronger buying interest and improved market sentiment, further strengthened by Middle East disruptions, particularly rising tensions between Iran and Israel, which created supply uncertainties and logistical challenges, leading to firmer pricing.
