The forecasted imports of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) in primary forms in China indicate a consistent decline from 723.2 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 600.08 thousand metric tons by 2028. In 2023, actual PVC imports stood at significantly higher levels, showcasing a noticeable downward trend starting in 2024. The year-on-year percentage change denotes a steady reduction of approximately 4.5% annually, illustrating a clear downward trajectory. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period approximates a consistent decline, characterizing a market contraction.

Future trends to observe include:

Potential shifts in China's domestic PVC production capabilities which could mitigate import needs.
Governmental policies to regulate or support PVC demand in line with environmental standards.
Global supply chain dynamics impacting the availability of raw materials for PVC production.
