The price of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) in China saw a decline in the December 2023 due to reduced activity in the construction and industrial sectors. Also, the high product supply and low demand in the country led to a downward price flow, reaching 1905 USD/MT in Q4 2023.
In December 2023, CPVC prices in the Netherlands were recorded at 1885 USD/MT. The market witnessed a moderate increase in price owing to restricted product inflow and inflation in the country in Q4. However, the demand for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride remained low as the manufacturing sectors operated at reduced capacities.

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Market Analysis
The global chlorinated polyvinyl chloride market size reached US$ 4.6 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 8.3 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 6.80% during 2023-2032.
- Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride’s (CPVC) resistance to corrosion and heat makes it highly sought after for residential and commercial plumbing systems, driving its market growth. As the construction of residential and commercial spaces increases, the demand for CPVC will also grow. The Asia Pacific region’s construction and real estate market is expected to account for nearly 40% of the global industry’s output value by 2030 and record a growth rate of 6%. Also, the US real estate market is escalating at a steady growth rate of 3.15% annually. Moreover, the resale of houses in the US increased by 8.5% in 2021, boosting the use of CPVC in the remodeling of plumbing systems.
- The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride demand is further amplified by its utilization in the fire sprinkler systems within buildings. The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride demand is further amplified by its utilization in the fire sprinkler systems within buildings. Sprinklers reduce the impact of fires in residential and commercial buildings. In a report by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), the civilian fire death and injury rates per fire were 90 percent and 32 percent lower, respectively when a sprinkler was present. CPVC's inherent fire-retardant characteristics make it an excellent choice for such applications. They are also easier and faster to install given their lightweight design and solvent cement welding, which does not require specialized tools or equipment. This has boosted the use of CPVC in fire sprinkler systems because of its high flame and smoke resistance.
- CPVC is also becoming increasingly popular for the safe transport of aggressive chemicals, driving its adoption in chemical manufacturing and processing industries. India ranks 11th in the export of chemicals (excluding pharmaceutical products) and 6th in the world imports of chemicals (excluding pharmaceutical products), catalyzing the use of CPVC for the transportation of various chemicals. The export of chemicals and chemical products (excluding pharmaceutical products and fertilizers) contributed 10.2% of total exports in the year 2022-23 in India.
- The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride market share is further reinforced by its role in water conservation and efficiency, making it essential in regions facing water scarcity. According to a report published by UNESCO, about 2 bn people do not have safe drinking water, and 3.6 bn lack access to safely managed sanitation. It is approximated that between 2-3 bn people experience water shortages for at least one month per year. Also, the urban population facing water scarcity is estimated to double from 930 million in 2016 to 1.7–2.4 billion people in 2050. This has increased the need for CPVC pipes as they minimize leakage rates associated with metal piping systems because of their superior joint integrity and corrosion resistance.
- In addition, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride production is showing an upward trajectory as a result of its growing use in solar water heating (SWH) systems and geothermal heating applications. Water heating accounts for about 15% of households’ energy use in Europe, 20% in the United States, and 30% in Japan, propelling the need to switch from electricity and gas to solar water heating. China and India implemented ambitious solar thermal policies as they set targets of 300 million m2 by 2020 and 20 million m2 by 2022. In the USA, SWH systems benefit from a 30% federal tax credit, while some States also implemented credits and rebates. Moreover, the installed capacity in Australia allowed energy savings of around 13 Mtoe per year starting 2000, which was double in 2020.

Product Description
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a versatile thermoplastic material that undergoes a chlorination process to enhance its resistance to heat, chemicals, and corrosion. It is available in various forms, such as pipes, fittings, and sheets, catering to a wide range of needs. The material composition of CPVC includes chlorine added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which strengthens its thermal and chemical stability. This alteration allows CPVC to withstand temperatures up to 200°F (93°C), which is significantly higher than PVC's capabilities. The inherent properties of CPVC, such as its high tensile strength, low thermal expansion, and flame retardance, make it an ideal choice for numerous applications.
CPVC's applications span diverse sectors, including hot and cold-water delivery systems in residential and commercial buildings, fire sprinkler systems, industrial liquid handling, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Additionally, it finds usage in the manufacturing of electrical insulators, and as a material for pool and spa piping due to its resistance to chlorine degradation. CPVC is lauded for its lightweight nature, low maintenance requirements, exceptional durability, and resistance to microbial growth.
