- USA: USD 668/MT
- China: USD 513/MT
- France: USD 751/MT
- Belgium: USD 738/MT
- Netherlands: USD 761/MT
During the first quarter of 2025, the vinyl chloride monomer prices in the USA reached 668 USD/MT in March. As per the vinyl chloride monomer price chart, due to mixed cost trends and weak PVC sector demand, prices experienced downward pressure. Following a brief period of supply constraints and an early increase in ethylene prices, demand from the construction sector declined, particularly for PVC.

North America Vinyl Chloride Monomer Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The vinyl chloride monomer price index in North America showed an upward trend supported by resilient downstream demand and tighter supply conditions. PVC consumption from construction, packaging, and infrastructure-related applications remained firm, encouraging consistent material offtake. Feedstock availability was constrained due to planned maintenance activities and operational adjustments, which limited production flexibility. Producers maintained disciplined operating strategies, aligning output closely with contractual commitments.
Q2 2025:
The vinyl chloride monomer price index in North America reflected a balanced dynamic between producers and downstream consumers. PVC demand from housing, packaging, and infrastructure-related applications supported consistent material offtake. Feedstock availability enabled producers to maintain planned operating rates without disruption. Contractual sales agreements formed the backbone of trade activity, limiting reliance on spot market transactions.
Q1 2025:
Due to varying input costs and a drop in PVC sector demand, the market in North America saw a minor price decline in Q1 2025. Higher upstream ethylene prices and scheduled maintenance, which momentarily constrained supply, provided some support at the start of the quarter. This assistance, however, was only temporary because macroeconomic issues hindered construction, which is the main source of PVC demand, which led to lower consumption.

Asia Pacific Vinyl Chloride Monomer Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The Asia Pacific region experienced mixed vinyl chloride monomer pricing trends driven by divergent supply-demand conditions across major markets. Several producing countries operated at high utilization rates, leading to ample material availability and competitive pricing. This supply pressure weighed on market sentiment in export-oriented economies. Conversely, select markets demonstrated stable downstream PVC demand from infrastructure and consumer goods applications, offering localized price support.
Q2 2025:
The Asia Pacific region experienced active vinyl chloride monomer production supported by high utilization across major manufacturing hubs. Downstream PVC producers followed cautious procurement strategies, aligning purchases with near-term consumption needs.
