Stakeholders in the dynamic global vinyls market require forward-looking analysis. As global PVC expansion slows around the globe, a situation of excess capacity and resulting low utilization rates has continued to exert downward pressure on producer margins. Producers are faced with finding cost efficiencies or exiting the market. Future demand growth will depend on economic development, associated rising living standards and industrialization—all of which feed into new construction and infrastructure projects requiring vinyl materials. Such prospects for increased consumption as well as export growth remain greatest in emerging market economies with large populations, including China, India, Brazil and Indonesia.
With its long-term perspective, IHS Chemical World Vinyls Analysis enables you to anticipate rather than react to the evolving landscape of the global vinyls industry. The study examines supply, demand, production, capacity, pricing and profitability of the global vinyl industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). You gain single-source access to objective data and analysis for supporting your toughest investment and planning decisions.
