PVC & Pipe Weekly

PVC and Pipe Weekly gives you a complete briefing on PVC resin price movements in the domestic market and the export market. We publish net transaction prices, not prices that have no relation to actual market deals. We inform our readers of trends in the PVC market, as well as in the ethylene market, one of the feedstocks for PVC and a primary cost driver. We also cover market trends and price drivers for PVC pipe, the downstream segment with the largest influence on resin pricing.

We’re the only source for pricing on finished PVC pipe: municipal, conduit and plumbing. Based on a methodology developed with market-makers on both the buy and sell side, the valuations published in this report reflect each week’s current market realities.
