There are many rigid polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) manufacturers in my country, and anti-dumping policies will affect the export market.

Rigid polyvinyl chloride (UPVC), also known as hard PVC, refers to an industrial product made by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer and then adding additives or other resins for modification. Rigid polyvinyl chloride has the advantages of good chemical stability, high hardness, high melt viscosity, strong toughness, acid and alkali resistance, and anti-aging. It can be used to manufacture pipes and plates, and has broad application prospects in the field of construction engineering.

The main raw material of rigid polyvinyl chloride is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyvinyl chloride is a common plastic that is widely used in packaging, daily necessities, medical and many other fields. my country is one of the world’s major producers of polyvinyl chloride. According to statistics from the China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association, my country’s polyvinyl chloride production capacity will reach 28.095 million tons in 2022, and its output will reach 21.7 million tons. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s rigid polyvinyl chloride industry.

According to the “2023-2028 China Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》shows that rigid polyvinyl chloride can be used to make pipes and plates. In terms of pipes, rigid polyvinyl chloride pipes, also known as UPVC pipes, can be used as water supply pipes, rainwater pipes, drainage pipes and wiring pipes, and are widely used in municipal engineering and residential areas; in terms of sheets, rigid polyvinyl chloride sheets can be used as Building materials such as floors and wainscoting have the advantages of not being easily deformed, good flame retardancy, good sound insulation, and environmentally friendly. In recent years, benefiting from the increasingly strong downstream demand, rigid polyvinyl chloride has gained broad market space in many fields with its excellent performance.

my country is a major producer and exporter of rigid polyvinyl chloride. While its products meet the needs of the local market, they are also sold overseas. India, the United States, Bangladesh, Mexico and other countries are the main exporters of rigid polyvinyl chloride in my country. On May 9, 2023, the Mexican Ministry of Economy announced a preliminary anti-dumping ruling on rigid polyvinyl chloride imported from China, and will impose temporary anti-dumping duties on the products involved. Mexico’s anti-dumping policy will cause certain obstacles to my country’s rigid PVC export trade and further intensify competition in the local market.

There are many rigid polyvinyl chloride manufacturers in my country. Guangdong Siwei Plastics Co., Ltd., Guangdong Liansu Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Hengjian Industrial Co., Ltd., Fujian Tianbao Plastic Co., Ltd., etc. are the main manufacturers of rigid polyvinyl chloride in my country. In the future, as the country’s supply-side structural reform continues to deepen, small and medium-sized enterprises with backward production capacity will be eliminated by the market. By then, the concentration of my country’s rigid polyvinyl chloride industry will increase.

Industry analysts said that rigid polyvinyl chloride is a segmented product of polyvinyl chloride and has good application prospects in the field of construction engineering. my country is a major producer of rigid polyvinyl chloride, with product quality and output occupying competitive advantages in the global market. In terms of import and export, it is expected that my country’s export volume of rigid polyvinyl chloride will decline in the future due to the impact of overseas anti-dumping policies.
