MOSCOW (MRC)–Imports of unmixed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into Belarus were relatively flat in the first nine months of 2018, rising by 0.6% year on year to 25,700 tonnes, according to MRC’s DataScope report.

According to the Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, in September alone, local converters reduced their purchasing of PVC to 2,600 tonnes from 3,200 tonnes a month earlier.

Thus, imports of unmixed PVC rose in the first nine months of 2018 to 25,700 tonnes from 25,500 tonnes a year earlier, with local windows producers accounting for the slight increase in demand.

Russian producers, with a share of about 89% of the Belarusian market, were the key suppliers of resin to Belarus over the stated period.

Producers from Ukraine and Germany, with shares of 6% and 3% respectively, were the second and third largest suppliers.

MRC, a partner of ICIS, produces polymers news and pricing reports from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
