Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - India's anti-dumping tax policy on Chinese PVC products is a key variable determining China's future PVC export trends. The anti-dumping tax has weakened or eliminated the price advantage of Chinese products, putting significant pressure on exports. This has prompted China's PVC industry to make strategic choices, and a new pattern of diversified exports is emerging [2][3]. - Overseas PVC production capacity is shifting from traditional European production centers to regions with energy and market advantages, which will affect future global trade flows and competition patterns [4]. Summary by Related Catalogs India's Anti-dumping Tax History - India conducts anti-dumping investigations on China based on the Customs Tariff Act of 1975 and the Anti-dumping Rules of 1995. The anti-dumping investigation procedure includes application, filing, preliminary ruling, on - site review, hearing, price commitment, final ruling, etc. After the anti-dumping tax is levied, there are three types of review procedures: new exporter review, mid - term review, and sunset review [10]. - India has initiated multiple anti - dumping and safeguard measure investigations on Chinese PVC - related products, including PVC suspension resin, PVC paste resin, etc. Most cases have resulted in restrictive measures [3][11]. - For the anti - dumping investigation of PVC suspension resin initiated in 2024, the final ruling has been completed, and the market expects the result on whether the anti - dumping tax will be implemented in November 2025 [3][19]. PVC Export Structure - Since 2025, due to the resurgence of India's anti - dumping tax investigation in 2024, there has been a rush to export, and China's PVC exports this year are higher than the same period. India is the main destination for China's PVC exports. If India imposes anti - dumping taxes on Chinese PVC, it will affect China's export structure [22]. - From 2014 to 2022, during the first anti - dumping tax collection period, the proportion of China's PVC exports to India decreased. After the expiration of the tax in 2022, the proportion rebounded. India's PVC demand is expected to have high growth potential [26]. PVC Export Trend Changes - After the anti - dumping tax is imposed, Chinese PVC export prices may not maintain an advantage in the Indian market. However, some Chinese enterprises still have a slight price advantage [29]. - In recent years, China's PVC exports to Southeast Asia, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East have increased significantly. Although India's anti - dumping tax may cause a short - term decline in exports, in the long run, global market re - layout may alleviate the domestic PVC supply - demand situation [32]. Overview of Overseas Production Capacity - In 2025, some European PVC enterprises announced shutdown plans due to high energy costs and weak demand, with a total expected exit capacity of 410,000 tons. The new production capacity in 2025 is mainly concentrated in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and India will be the core area for capacity expansion in 2026 [4][52]. - Globally, PVC production capacity is shifting from high - cost regions to regions with energy and market advantages, while China's new production capacity is expanding on a large scale based on resource advantages [4][59].
