Based on the East China region, today's polyvinyl alcohol price closed at 11,000 CNY/ton, remaining stable compared to last Thursday. The domestic PVA market operated quietly today.

Downstream demand was driven by procurement as needed, while inventory holders sold according to market conditions. With the holiday approaching, market transactions slowed down. Attention should be paid to downstream purchasing intensity and corporate pricing strategies after the holiday.
