Polyvinyl chloride Latin America

The Latin America polyvinyl chloride (PVC) report covers domestic and import prices in the region. Producers, consumers and traders have an interest in our timely information to help them make the best informed decisions.

To prepare the Latin American PVC report, ICIS reporters talk to buyers, producers and traders throughout the region. The report will also include a brief comment on other regions that play a role in developments in Latin American markets.

Our PVC report stands out because, unlike our competitors, ICIS publishes weekly. The editors maintain a continuous week to week dialogue with market participants. ICIS does not only talk to producers, but communicates with participants on both sides of the negotiations. Buyer and trader commentary is very relevant to the PVC market and to the reports.
