Under the combined effect of "dual control" and power curtailment, the national daily output of calcium carbide has been reduced by more than 5,000 tons. As of September 24, the arrival price of calcium carbide in East China reached 6,450 yuan/ton, an increase of 12.66% in the past half month. The price of calcium carbide has risen, and the center of gravity of PVC costs has risen. At present, the production cost of calcium carbide PVC enterprises is around 9,500 yuan/ton, and the cost of some enterprises even exceeds 10,000 yuan. Cost increase is the most fundamental reason for this round of PVC prices soaring.
Due to the tight supply of calcium carbide, even if the production profit is still acceptable, the calcium carbide method enterprises will passively reduce the burden due to insufficient raw materials. As of September 24, the average operating load of PVC enterprises was 71.12%, a decrease of 0.57 percentage points from the previous week and a decrease of 3.67 percentage points from the same period last year. Among them, the average operating load of calcium carbide method decreased by 3.06 percentage points compared with the same period last year.
The start load has dropped, and PVC inventory has dropped across the board. As of September 17, the PVC inventory of manufacturers was 21,400 tons, a decrease of 11,500 tons from the same period last year, a decrease of 34.95%: social inventory was 377,200 tons, a decrease of 101,000 tons from the same period last year, a decrease of 21.12%. Although PVC inventory has declined, high prices have inhibited the enthusiasm for terminal replenishment.
The current status of PVC downstream production is poor. Large-scale production enterprises can only passively accept high prices and maintain production because they have orders to complete. Small and medium-sized enterprises can hardly afford high costs and are limited by power supply, so most of them operate at low loads. Due to high costs, downstream profile and pipe companies are forced to increase the prices of finished products, which has suppressed demand to a certain extent. At present, the demand is still in the peak season, and most downstream companies insist on production, but the operating conditions are not good and production is difficult to maintain.
In summary, the PVC market trend is more entangled: the upstream is limited by the shortage of raw materials, and the cost remains high; the downstream demand season is coming to an end, and it is difficult for pipe and profile companies to pass the high cost downward. The short-term market reflects more cost and supply. Until the calcium carbide problem is resolved, demand will have little impact, and the PVC market will maintain a strong pattern.
