Ethylene Dichloride Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Germany held the top of the four markets we track for the ethylene dichloride through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 0.56/KG, up 3.7% from the USD 0.54 in Q1. Worldwide, the average firmed to a value of USD 0.50/KG in Q2 2026, a gain of a 4.2% percent over the Q1 figure of USD 0.48, as the PVC-chain demand and the ethylene cost firmed together.

The ethylene dichloride, or EDC, is a bulk petrochemical, made from the ethylene and the chlorine. Nearly all of it moves on into the vinyl chloride monomer and then the PVC, so its demand rides the PVC and the construction cycle. Its cost tracks the ethylene and the chlor-alkali economics, and the volumes are large and the margins thin.

Two things move the ethylene dichloride price the most: the ethylene and the chlorine feedstock costs, and the vinyl chloride and the PVC demand. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 0.47 to 0.56/KG looks likely worldwide, supported by the firming PVC and the construction offtake.

Ethylene Dichloride Price Forecast for 2026

Supply looks comfortable through the H2 2026, with the ethylene and the chlorine costs and the PVC pull setting the direction. The PVC producers held their procurement steady through the H1, and the firming construction demand looks set to hold. China's large chain will likely keep it the cheapest of the four, while the India, the United States, and the Germany track higher on the freight and the local costs.

The market sits set for a firm and a thin-margin move. The bigger question for the buyers is the ethylene cost and the PVC construction demand, since those set the direction for a bulk feedstock like this.

What could push the prices higher? An ethylene or a chlorine feedstock spike, or a firmer PVC and construction pull. What could pull them lower? Softer construction demand, or the expanded low-cost Chinese capacity outpacing the demand.
