PVC price continues to rise

The supply of calcium carbide has been tight for a long time, and the price has been rising gradually. At present, the cost pressure of PVC manufacturers using calcium carbide is obvious, and the calcium carbide arrival of some PVC manufacturers is unstable, so the purchase price has been increased to ensure the quantity of calcium carbide arrival. At present, the price rise of calcium carbide is still not over, and the cost of PVC by calcium carbide method is still high. On the whole, PVC cost support is still strong.

Downstream demand, because the price of PVC powder, the overall market rising, constantly refresh record highs, PVC products downstream enterprise cost pressure, most of the work load is relatively early, some companies in order to ensure the market share and customer relations remain certain production load, but most remained on dips small single procurement strategy. The downstream of the high price of raw materials to accept the degree is limited, the recent regional market price and enterprise factory price inverted, but the market spot is not much, downstream demand is still a certain toughness. Cost of calcium carbide, calcium carbide is slightly better forecast of supply, the current short term in October and some PVC enterprises have maintenance plan, and involves a relatively large capacity, short term follow-up market calcium carbide tight supply situation or slightly better, calcium carbide price or slightly downward, but the overall volatility are relatively limited, is expected to remain at high levels. PVC production enterprises recently received orders, most of the large factories still maintain a certain number of pre-sale, the overall sales pressure is not great. On the whole, the market price may remain high and shock in the future. PVC manufacturers still have room to further increase the ex-factory price, calcium carbide cost is also expected to decrease slightly, and the profit level of PVC manufacturers with calcium carbide method may increase slightly, but the increase is still expected to be limited. In addition, it is still necessary to pay attention to the large fluctuation of calcium carbide price due to the constant qualitative changes in calcium carbide supply.

Due to the rising price of PVC, the production cost of power cable has risen, and the price of power cord has risen accordingly. We will control the management cost and rationally allocate resources to ensure that the purchasing cost of customers will not be greatly affected.
