Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an important synthetic organic material. As one of the five most common synthetic resins, it is widely used in building materials, industrial products, daily necessities, pipes, wires and cables, packaging film, foaming materials, sealing materials, etc.
China is the world’s largest PVC producer and consumer. At the end of 2017, China’s PVC production capacity exceeded 20 million tons/year. In 2017, the production volume of PVC in China was approximately 17.9 million tons, an increase of 7.2% year-on-year.
In 2017, there were more than 60 PVC producers in China, 20 of which had an annual capacity of 400,000 tons or more. Most of them are located in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shandong and Qinghai. The two largest PVC producers are situated in Xinjiang, namely, Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Co., Ltd. (with an annual production capacity of 2.2 million tons) and Xinjiang Tianye Co., Ltd. (with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons). In China, PVC is produced in the calcium carbide method or in the ethylene method. The calcium carbide method accounts for over 80% of China’s PVC production capacity. PVC produced in the calcium carbide method is mainly used in the production of low-end pipes because it contains a large amount of vinyl chloride residues. While PVC made from ethylene, containing little vinyl chloride residue, can be used to produce refined high-end PVC products that cannot be produced with PVC made from calcium carbide. PVC made from ethylene and PVC made from calcium carbide can hardly replace each other.
Economically developed regions such as Guangdong and South China are the major consumers of PVC in China. Guangdong accounts for over 20% of the total PVC consumption in China; Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in East China account for more than 30% of the national total.
The downstream applications of China’s PVC mainly include construction materials, pipes, etc. Among building materials, sections, doors and windows account for about 30% PVC consumption; pipes account for about 30%; and film accounts for nearly 10%.
According to CRI’s market research, China’s PVC industry is still expanding its production capacity in 2018-2019. It is expected that by the end of 2020, China’s annual PVC production capacity will exceed 27 million tons.
China’s PVC industry is playing an increasingly important role in the global PVC industry. China has grown from a net PVC importer into a net PVC exporter. Especially since 2003 when China took anti-dumping actions against PVC imports, PVC made from calcium carbide has been developing rapidly in China. In 2006, China surpassed the U.S. in both the capacity and volume of PVC production, becoming the largest PVC producer in the world. As the Chinese economy develops and the urbanization rate increases, the demand for PVC will continue to expand in China from 2018 to 2022.

]]> Description

Polyvinyl chloride, PVC for short, is a kind of polymer of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM for short) after polymerization. PVC is widely used in production fields of soft products such as packing materials, artificial leathers and plastic products together with hard products such as profiled bars, tubing and slabs. The output volume of PVC is the largest among five general synthetic resins including PE, PP, PVC, PS and ABS.

In the 21st century, the growing PVC industry in China poses increasing influence on that of the globe. In recent years, China becomes the world’s leading PVC manufacturer and consumer. The output volume of PVC reached 16.10 million tons with a slight decline YOY in China in 2015.

Meanwhile, the aggregate consumption of two major PVC consumption fields including tubing and pipes together with profiles, doors and windows accounted for over 50% of the total. The tubing industry developed rapidly while the proportion of PVC tubing declined. The downstream demand declined with the development area of real estate, leading to declining output volume of the profile industry. In China, the profile industry is intense in enterprise competition and low in requirements on raw materials so calcium carbide method PVC is widely applied at present. In contrast, major downstream users of ethylene method PVC concentrated in high-end sheet materials especially in fields such as medical treatment, food packaging, electric and artificial leathers with relatively stable demand.

According to CRI,  as an energy-intensive industry, the sustainable development of the PVC industry is subjected to prices of energy and raw materials, the development of the chlor-alkali industry and petrochemical industry as well as environment protection policies in China. In recent years, the development and distribution of PVC manufacturers expanded to raw material concentrated areas, and the production capacity transferred from eastern regions with high costs to central and western regions with lower costs. With the increasingly mature production processes and local government support, the production capacity of PVC expanded rapidly from 2003 and experienced gradual saturation from 2005. The overcapacity deteriorated from 2008 with slump growth rate of production capacity. Under the promotion of “Government Investment Project of CNY 4 Trillion”, the new production capacity of PVC remained large from 2008 to 2012. According to CRI, the production capacity of PVC exceeded 25 million tons in China by the end of 2014. Chinese government implemented policies to phase out outdated capacity in 2015, leading to slight decline of PVC production capacity.

In the early 2015, the international crude oil dropped sharply, and PVC prices declined to the lowest compared to that of 2008 accordingly in China. The PVC market experienced rebound for three months from March to May in 2015. Up to the middle May, the average price of East China SG-5 rebounded to 5,920 CNY/ton increasing by 970 CNY/ton compared to the early 2015 due to the demand recovery, high prices of calcium carbide as major raw materials and declining supply of centralized maintenance of PVC enterprises. With the slump economic situation, demand and declining crude oil prices, PVC prices presented a trend of sharp decline from the middle May up to the end of 2015, breaking the record as the lowest for many consecutive years by average price.

The domestic PVC situation was closely related to the crude oil trend from 2016, and it started to rise with the recovery in economy and bulk commodity market in China.

The PVC industry is growing in the global position from the original pure importer to net exporter. Particularly, China implemented anti-dumping towards imported PVC from 2003, and calcium carbide method PVC developed rapidly. By the end of 2006, China became the world’s leading manufacturer of PVC surpassing the U.S.A. in terms of the production capacity and output volume. In recent years, the overall export volume of PVC experienced a steady rise in China. PVC transferred from a net import volume of 1 million tons in 2010 to a net export volume of 500,000 tons in 2015.

With the improvement in economy and urbanization, the demand for PVC is expected to rise continuously from 2017 to 2021 in China.
