    .


    From the perspective of production capacity structure, the production capacity of China's PVC industry is mainly based on calcium carbide method, accounting for 81.
    3%, and the proportion of ethylene method is 18.
    7%


    .


    Among the top ten companies in the PVC industry in 2019, there are 8 companies that use the calcium carbide method to produce PVC, with a total production capacity of 7.
    395 million tons/year.
    There are only two companies that use the ethylene method to produce PVC, namely Tianjin Dagu Chemical Co.
    , Ltd.
    , Qilu Branch of China Petrochemical Corporation, with a total production capacity of 1.
    04 million tons per year


    .


    Corporate concentration has increased

    .
    In 2019, China's PVC import volume was 670,000 tons, and the export volume was 510,000 tons, both of which were lower than in 2018

    .

    Since 2009, the apparent consumption of PVC in China has continued to rise
    .
    According to the statistics of China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association, the apparent consumption of PVC in China reached 20.
    27 million in 2019, a year-on-year increase of 7.
    3%

    .

    Polyvinyl chloride is the product with the largest output among the five general resins in China, and is widely used in pipes, profiles, films, wires and cables, floor leather,
    etc.
    Compared with traditional building materials, polyvinyl chloride resin is more energy-saving in production and use, and is a chemical material recommended by the state

    .
    In 2019, the demand for PVC for pipes and profiles reached 53.
