Prices for EVA in China have been rangebound lately with stability in the market. The supply of EVA remained under pressure recently, with most domestic petrochemical plants maintaining steady production. However, the operating rate has been at a relatively low level, counterbalancing the effect of supply deficit.

On the cost side, raw material dynamics presented a mixed picture. Ethylene prices saw a notable increase, offering some upward support for EVA production costs. In contrast, vinyl acetate prices softened, easing part of the cost burden. Despite this, the overall cost structure provided a degree of stability for EVA producers.

Demand conditions remained subdued. Downstream factories reported sluggish new orders, with key sectors such as photovoltaics showing particular weakness. Foaming demand saw only limited activity, typical of the seasonal slowdown. With end-user demand failing to gain momentum, inventory digestion remained slow, contributing to a soft pricing environment for EVA.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain in a state of weak consolidation. While cost factors provide some underlying support, persistent supply pressures and lackluster downstream demand are likely to keep prices subdued in the near term.
