All supply-demand balances are modelled estimates (million t = million tonnes; company tonnages in kt = thousand tonnes) built from sourced anchor points such as capacities, operating rates and trade data; treat regional figures as ±10–15%. Company tonnages are mostly estimates; each row shows its confidence and basis. Research date 27 Oct 2026. "Other PVC" = every PVC type except suspension (S-PVC): emulsion/paste, micro-suspension and copolymers; "Total PVC" adds the two.

Top 15 resin consumers
Estimated annual resin purchases (kt), big to small. Bar shade shows confidence. Brand owners (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo) overlap with their bottlers and converters, so don't add the bars up.

Traders and distributors of S-PVC, Other PVC, PP, PE and PET serving Egypt, the Middle East and Africa, from public web sources researched 28 Oct 2026. "Grades / brands" shows only what the source names; "not stated" means the source gives no grade. Where a source says only "PVC", the company is counted under S-PVC (PVC type not stated); companies whose resins are not stated appear only under "All". Recyclers and scrap dealers are left out. Evidence: Strong = the company's own site or trade press; Moderate = a business-directory listing; Weak = an indirect signal (job advert, sourcing agent, unclear scope). Confirm grade and stock with each company before buying. Contact details were not collected.
