Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Price Trend Q2 2026
In Q2 2026, the global PVC Price Trend has been recording a strong upward trajectory, with prices increasing significantly across most regions before correcting toward the end of the quarter. The escalation of the US-Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the supply of Ethylene, sharply increasing upstream production costs for Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) and Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) during April and May.
This supply shock, combined with elevated crude oil prices, pushed PVC Prices higher across export-driven and import-dependent markets. Demand from the construction, infrastructure, irrigation, wire and cable, and piping sectors also remained resilient, reinforcing the bullish market sentiment throughout most of the quarter. The PVC Price Chart reflected this sustained upward momentum across key global markets during April and May.
Following the mid-June US-Iran ceasefire and the agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, feedstock availability improved, freight costs eased, and upstream cost pressures gradually weakened. The PVC Price Index began reflecting this market normalization, with In June 2026, PVC Prices correcting across most regions as EDC, VCM, and crude oil prices softened, while buyers increasingly shifted toward need-based procurement amid improving supply conditions.
China: PVC Export prices FOB Shanghai, China; Grade- K66-68 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in China (FOB Shanghai) has been increasing sharply by around 10.8%, supported by policy-driven changes in export dynamics and elevated production costs throughout most of the quarter. The removal of China’s 13% VAT export rebate, effective from 1 April 2026, has increased export costs and fundamentally reshaped the country’s PVC trade flows.
Ahead of the policy implementation, producers and traders accelerated overseas shipments, particularly to India and Southeast Asia, tightening domestic availability and supporting FOB export prices. At the same time, higher calcium carbide, coal, and electricity costs have increased production expenses for China’s carbide-based PVC producers, while geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East have kept EDC and VCM values firm during the quarter.
PVC Prices in China have also remained supported by steady export enquiries and disciplined producer pricing despite continued weakness in the domestic construction and real estate sectors. Following the US-Iran ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, feedstock and freight costs have started easing, while China’s high operating rates have improved market availability.
In June 2026, PVC Prices in China have been declining by around 7.5% as lower EDC, VCM, and calcium carbide costs have reduced production cost support, export demand has softened after the VAT rebate removal, and abundant supply from carbide-based producers has intensified competition in overseas markets.
India: PVC Domestically traded prices Ex-Ahmedabad, India; Grade- K67 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in India (Ex-Ahmedabad) has been increasing by around 12.1%, supported by higher import parity, elevated replacement costs, and firm domestic pricing throughout most of the quarter.

Higher EDC and VCM costs have also strengthened production economics. PVC Prices in India have remained firm as demand from the pipe, irrigation, wire and cable, and infrastructure sectors has continued supporting market sentiment despite cautious procurement at elevated price levels. Following the easing of geopolitical tensions and improving import availability, market conditions have started stabilizing.
In June 2026, PVC Prices in India have been increasing marginally by around 0.8% as lower-priced Chinese cargoes, softer EDC and VCM costs, and the onset of the monsoon season have encouraged buyers to limit purchases to immediate requirements, restricting further price gains.
Egypt: PVC Import prices CIF Alexandria (CHINA), Egypt; Grade- K66-68 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in Egypt (CIF Alexandria from China) has been increasing by around 9.3%, supported by higher offered import costs and improving procurement from the country’s construction and infrastructure sectors.

USA: PVC Export prices FOB Houston, USA; Grade- K67 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in the USA (FOB Houston) has been increasing sharply by around 36.5%, supported by tight export availability and significantly higher production costs throughout most of the quarter. The US-Iran conflict increased global energy prices, strengthening Ethylene, EDC, and VCM production costs, while robust export demand from Latin America and other overseas markets enabled Gulf Coast producers to prioritize higher-margin export sales.

Canada: PVC Import prices CIF Montreal (USA), Canada; Grade- K67 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in Canada (CIF Montreal from USA) has been increasing by around 30.8%, primarily supported by higher import costs from the United States and firm replacement values throughout most of the quarter.

Japan: PVC Export prices FOB Tokyo, Japan; Grade- K65.7-67.7 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in Japan (FOB Tokyo) has been increasing by around 31.4%, supported by elevated feedstock costs and tighter production economics throughout most of the quarter.

PVC Prices in Japan have remained supported by higher manufacturing costs despite moderate regional export demand. Following the US-Iran ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, feedstock costs have started easing. In June 2026, PVC Prices in Japan have been declining by around 8.0% as lower EDC and VCM costs reduced production expenses, competitive export offers from China and Taiwan intensified regional pricing pressure, and weaker buying interest from Southeast Asia limited export opportunities.
Taiwan: PVC Export prices FOB Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Grade- K65-67.1 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in Taiwan (FOB Kaohsiung) has been increasing by around 26.8%, supported by elevated feedstock costs and tighter regional supply during most of the quarter. Higher Ethylene, EDC, and VCM costs, coupled with earlier logistical disruptions across Asia, increased production expenses and enabled Taiwanese exporters to maintain firmer FOB offers.
PVC Prices in Taiwan have also remained supported by stable export commitments to India, Australia, and Southeast Asia, although regional competition gradually intensified toward the end of the quarter. Following the US-Iran ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, upstream feedstock costs have started easing and market conditions have improved.
In June 2026, PVC Prices in Taiwan have been declining by around 10.0% as lower Ethylene, EDC, and VCM costs weakened production cost support, aggressive Chinese export offers reduced Taiwan’s regional pricing power, inventories remained comfortable, and weaker buying interest from India, Australia, and Southeast Asia encouraged exporters to lower FOB quotations to remain competitive.
Australia: PVC Import prices CIF Melbourne (TAIWAN), Australia; Grade- K65-67.1 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in Australia (CIF Melbourne from Taiwan) has been increasing by around 22.6%, supported by higher import replacement costs and firm offers from Taiwanese suppliers throughout most of the quarter.

UK: PVC Domestically traded prices FD Immingham, UK; Grade- K67 Suspension Grade
In Q2 2026, PVC Price Trend in the United Kingdom (FD Immingham) has been increasing by around 32.5%, supported by higher domestic production costs and stronger import replacement values throughout most of the quarter.
