Core Viewpoint - The recent adjustment in export tax policy for photovoltaic products, including PVC, has led to a temporary decline in export order volumes, which is viewed as a normal market adjustment rather than a fundamental shift in the industry [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Impact - The Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration announced the cancellation of VAT export rebates for photovoltaic products starting April 1, 2026, which includes PVC products [1]. - Following the announcement, there was a noticeable increase in overseas demand for Chinese PVC, with domestic production companies maintaining high weekly order volumes [1].

Group 3: Inventory and Demand - The market is currently focused on whether the "export rush" triggered by the tax policy adjustment can effectively balance the overall supply-demand dynamics in the PVC sector [3]. - The high inventory levels in the domestic PVC market are expected to take time to adjust, particularly due to the lag in the realization of export orders [3]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Despite the recent decline in export orders, there is still expected support for PVC exports post-Spring Festival, as some clients may rush to purchase before the new policy takes effect [4]. - Analysts suggest that the focus will shift to the delivery of orders in March, with expectations of a significant year-on-year increase in PVC export volumes for the first quarter [4][5].
