Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Ethylene vinyl acetate, or EVA, is a copolymer resin produced by the copolymerisation of ethylene and vinyl acetate monomer, valued for flexibility and clarity. The largest demand pull comes from solar photovoltaic module encapsulant film, followed by footwear midsole applications, and flexible packaging use. Ethylene and vinyl acetate feedstock costs, solar panel and footwear sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.

Global EVA prices tracked close to the USD 1.65 to USD 1.80 per KG range projected for 2026, as solar-encapsulant demand and firm feedstock costs supported the tone. China, the largest photovoltaic module base, gained 4.5 percent in Q2 2026 to USD 1.610 per KG as manufacturers kept restocking the solar-encapsulant film at pace with strong domestic panel-production activity. Germany gained 4.1 percent to USD 2.020 per KG on expanding solar installations and growing footwear-midsole demand. The United States held a steady footwear and packaging demand tone.

What is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Price in August 2026?

EVA prices held a firm tone through August 2026, tracking close to the Q2 2026 levels across all tracked regions, as strong solar photovoltaic encapsulant demand and firm ethylene and vinyl acetate feedstock costs continued to support the market.

• APAC (China): Chinese EVA prices held near USD 1.58 to USD 1.64 per KG, close to the USD 1.610 per KG recorded in Q2 2026, as photovoltaic module manufacturers continued restocking solar-encapsulant film at pace while strong domestic panel-production activity maintained firm downstream demand.
• North America (US): US EVA prices held near USD 1.70 to USD 1.76 per KG, close to the USD 1.730 per KG recorded in Q2 2026, as steady footwear midsole and flexible packaging demand continued to support the market.
• Europe (Germany): German EVA prices held near USD 1.99 to USD 2.05 per KG, close to the USD 2.020 per KG recorded in Q2 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as expanding solar photovoltaic installations and growing footwear-midsole demand continued to provide consistent buying support.

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Price Forecast for 2026

The second half of 2026 (H2 2026) opened firm across every market, extending a sharp acceleration that began in the first half. China's photovoltaic module manufacturers kept restocking the solar-encapsulant film at a rapid clip. Germany saw a combined solar and footwear demand pull harder than either alone. India's fast-growing installed solar base kept the import demand climbing too. Ethylene and vinyl-acetate-monomer feedstock costs firmed alongside all of it, tightening as the naphtha and crude costs edged higher.

A couple of factors bear watching. A naphtha or crude-driven feedstock spike, or faster-than-expected global solar capacity additions, could push the prices past the top of the range. A slowdown in the photovoltaic module manufacturing, or bio-based encapsulant substitution, could pull the market below the floor instead.
