Morning Market Update for Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)

Published on 2026-10-29

I. Key Focus Areas

  1. Strong cost-side support
  2. Continued export orders
  3. Limited follow-up from downstream demand

Core Logic: The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) market is expected to maintain a weak, consolidating trend.

II. Price Table

Notes: 1. Both VAM and PVA prices refer to premium-grade products. 2. Prices for VAM and PVA are in RMB, unit: RMB/ton. 3. All RMB prices listed above are ex-works, cash-in-advance, tax-inclusive. 4. The two price columns represent spot prices at specific points in the two preceding working weeks of this week, not weekly averages. 5. Change rate refers to the period-over-period change. 6. Prices reflect market negotiation levels.

III. Market Outlook

The operating load on the PVA supply side remains consistent with previous levels, and spot availability within the market is adequate. Downstream demand continues to be sluggish, with users primarily purchasing based on rigid requirements and limited new order inflows. Inventory holders maintain a cautious sentiment. Attention should be paid to changes in costs and market participant psychology. The market is expected to undergo narrow-range consolidation with a slight downward bias in the near term.
