The forecast for imports of non-plasticised polyvinyl chloride to Canada shows a clear downward trajectory from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 12.652 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.2691 million kilograms in 2028. Comparing the year-on-year changes, the reduction is approximately 17% per year between 2024 and 2025, tapering to around 27% by 2028. This indicates diminishing demand or increased domestic production, possibly reducing reliance on imports.

Comparing past data from 2023, it would be essential to gauge the context of similar or differing volumes to understand market dynamics better. The five-year compound annual growth rate reflects an average negative growth annually, further supporting the declining trend.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in domestic production capabilities.
Changes in raw material supply chains.
Technological advancements affecting the usage or production of polyvinyl chloride.
Environmental regulations impacting production or importation of such materials.
