Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the market volume for non-reinforced PVC sheets in Hungary contracted from 9 217 t to 7 083 t. This decline was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted global supply chains in 2020, affecting raw material procurement and pricing. In 2021, rising raw material costs in the plastics industry led to higher product prices, dampening demand. Additionally, growing consumer preference for sustainable materials reduced consumption of conventional PVC products.

In 2022, the market volume rebounded to 8 556 t, likely reflecting a post-pandemic recovery in supply chains and demand. During this period, manufacturers continued to develop bio-based additives and plasticizers to improve the environmental profile of PVC sheets, although these innovations did not directly drive market expansion.

By 2024, the market volume fell further to 6 612 t, with the market value dropping to 28,7 million USD. While specific drivers for this later period are not detailed, the overall trend points to a shrinking domestic market for non-reinforced PVC sheets in Hungary.
