PVC resin prices have been climbing after dropping in the previous months. Demand is strong, slightly outpacing production. Pricing appears to be on the rise in the near future with multiple pipe increase letters and fitting increase announcements. Domestic resin prices are up slightly for the year with transportation costs driving much of the recent increases.
Currently, sales are outpacing production due to seasonally strong domestic demand. Threats of tariffs are dampening export and import activity. Any major disruptions in the price of oil and natural gas could continue to be a factor going forward.
