For example, in April 2025, as of Q1 2025 end, U.S. CPVC prices continued to decline on weak market sentiment and weak buying despite modest building and chemical demand recovery. Export sales dropped, particularly to Mexico and Canada, as cheaper Chinese CPVC gained market share since freight charges decreased. Weak ethylene dichloride prices also contributed to the squeeze, and manufacturers maintained production in a tight rein to prevent oversupply. Market activity eased amid uncertainty over fresh tariffs, and attention shifted to short-term necessities. However, cyclical house-building fervor and home expansion sustained underlying demand resolutely. During a tariff detente of 90 days calming trade tensions, prices should settle as exports pick up speed and domestic demand goes through the roof.

• Greenhouse Regulations: CPVC producers could be subject to environmental regulations decreasing plastic use and emissions. Effects of such regulation can be a change in the manufacturing process, extra costs, or limiting the applications of CPVC. For example, Epigral acquired NSF certification of CPVC resin and compounds to make them suitable for producing drinking water pipes in April 2025—a step that guarantees customers’ trust and product quality. MD and Chairman Maulik Patel elaborated that the certification allows customers to produce safer quality CPVC pipes and marks Epigral’s pursuit of domestic development and self-reliance. The company will also double the capacity of its CPVC resin to 150,000 TPA by FY2027, the biggest of its kind worldwide. The company also commissioned a chlorotoluene value chain unit in March, adding to its portfolio of specialty chemicals.

• Trade Tariffs and Restrictions: Tariffs and trade restrictions can have the ability to shape the global CPVC industry by altering supply chains, raising costs, and bringing uncertainties in the market. The practice can affect the global competitiveness of CPVC products. For example, in April 2025, India applied a 200-day temporary safeguard duty of 12% to some steel imports from April 21, 2025, to curb excessive steel imports as domestic producers complained more and more. Being the world’s second-largest producer of crude steel, India has seen finished steel imports surge to a nine-year high of 9.5 million metric tons in the 2024/25 financial year, with China becoming a major exporter to India. The tariff move is amid tensions in world trade and follows calls by some of India’s biggest steel producers like JSW Steel and Tata Steel to protect the domestic industry from import surges.
