In 2023, the import of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to the US stood at a significant level, serving as a crucial baseline for 2024 forecasts and beyond. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady growth in import volumes, ranging from 272.93 million kilograms in 2024 to 283.59 million kilograms in 2028.
Year-on-year variation percentages are important to note:
- 2025: 1.01% increase from 2024
