Macroeconomic Geopolitical Impact

The macroeconomic environment plays a significant role in shaping the demand and production dynamics of PVC rigid foam. Economic growth, infrastructure development, and industrial activity directly influence the consumption of PVC rigid foam in key sectors such as construction, automotive, and signage. According to the International Monetary Fund IMF, the baseline forecast for the world economy to continue growing at 3.2 during 2024 and 2025, at the same pace as in 2023. During this period of strong economic expansion, increased construction activity and higher consumer spending drive the demand for durable and cost-effective materials such as PVC rigid foam. However, economic slowdowns, recessions, or financial crises lead to reduced investments in construction and manufacturing, negatively impacting market growth. For instance, Economic growth is slowing in South America with Brazil expected to grow at 2.1, hampered by external pressures and commodity dependence. Argentina faces a 3.7 contraction due to inflation and complex debt negotiations. Moreover, inflationary pressures also affect the industry by increasing raw material costs, transportation expenses, and production overheads, which lead to higher product prices and reduced affordability for end users.

The geopolitical landscape further influences the PVC rigid foam market through trade policies, regulatory frameworks, and supply chain disruptions. Global trade tensions, such as U.S.- China tariffs or sanctions on major petrochemical-producing nations affect the supply and pricing of raw materials like polyvinyl chloride PVC resin. In addition, political instability in key manufacturing hubs or major exporting countries disrupt the supply chain, leading to delays in production and distribution. The Russia - Ukraine conflict, has had ripple effects on global energy prices, increasing production costs for industries reliant on petroleum-based products, including PVC rigid foam.
