MOSCOW (MRC) -- Imports of unmixed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into Belarus dropped in the first eleven months of 2018 by 4% year on year to about 30,100 tonnes, according to MRC's DataScope report.
According to the statistical committee of the Republic of Belarus, local converters significantly reduced their purchasing of PVC in November 2018 under the pressure of seasonal factors. Total imports were 1,700 tonnes, compared to 2,600 tonnes a month earlier.
Thus, imports of unmixed PVC reached 30,100 tonnes in the first eleven months of 2018 versus 31,300 tonnes a year earlier, with local windows producers accounting for a decrease in demand.
Russian producers with the share of about 88% of the Belarusian market were the key suppliers of resin to Belarus over the stated period. Producers from Ukraine and Germany with the share of 6% and 4% were the second and third largest suppliers, respectively.
