Last month"s SPVC imports into the Ukrainian market
decreased to 2,100 tonnes from 2,100 tonnes in October, with North American PVC
accounting for the decrease in shipments. Overall SPVC imports reached 31,100
tonnes in January-November, compared to 44,700 tonnes a year earlier.
At
the same time, the increased demand from the domestic market amid growing
capacity utilisation of the Ukrainian producer led to a decrease in export
sales. European producers with the share of about 78% of the total imports over
the stated period were the key suppliers of PVC to the Ukrainian market.
Producers from the USA with the share of about 16% were the second largest
suppliers.
