MAGZStrategic Sourcing Advisory

Resin supply-demand & MAGZ Cockpit clients

—

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.
