In 2023, Germany led the European import of plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in primary forms with a substantial share, despite a 2.98% decrease from the previous year. France experienced moderate growth at 3.07%, while the Netherlands saw a significant jump at 15.18%. Poland and Hungary recorded notable declines of 4.79% and 5.13%, respectively, and Ireland's imports also decreased by 2.56%.
