Polyvinyl chloride Europe

The ICIS European polyvinyl chloride (PVC) report covers movements in the monthly domestic contract price, domestic spot information and the European import and export markets on a weekly basis.

Information is obtained through discussions with key industry players such as producers, buyers, traders and distributors.

The ICIS European PVC price focuses on K67 PVC (pipe grade) and looks at the wider issues and events in the suspension PVC market.

The price provides a benchmark for a number of participants, but also gives essential information on upstream and downstream market movements to help them make informed decisions.

Increasingly, there is a global focus as the Chinese, Indian and African markets consume more and change the balance of supply and demand.

The ICIS report is essential for market participants within the PVC industry, and offers a vital source of information on market trends, together with the latest shipping fixtures, enquiries and spot deals.

The report is widely read and brings the most up-to-date news in terms of pricing movements, consumer demand and changes to supply such as production updates.
