Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - statistics & facts
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer that constitutes one of the most extensively utilized types of plastics worldwide. The widespread adoption of PVC can be attributed to its wide array of desirable properties including durability, flexibility, as well as resistance to both corrosion and fire. As of 2022, the average global price for PVC amounted to 1,115 U.S. dollars per metric ton. However, the monthly prices of PVC exhibited substantial variation, ranging from 664 U.S. dollars per ton in May 2020 to 1,735 U.S. dollars per ton in October 2021.
