Published on 2026-09-15

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Strong support from the cost side
  2. Continued export orders
  3. Limited follow-up demand from downstream sectors

Core Logic: The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) market is trading within a narrow range.

III. Market Outlook

Supply-side operating rates for polyvinyl alcohol remain stable, with continued strong support from costs. Suppliers are maintaining steady ex-factory quotes. Downstream demand is following up only as needed, with limited new transactions. Inventory holders are operating cautiously, monitoring downstream procurement progress and raw material price fluctuations. The market is expected to experience slight bullish oscillations within a narrow range in the near term.
