The price of PVC110 drain pipes in 2025: influencing factors and market quotations

PVC110 drain pipe, as the core pipe material in building drainage system and municipal engineering, has long occupied an important share of the drainage pipe market due to its strong corrosion resistance and high cost performance. In 2025, with the moderate recovery of the real estate market and the accelerated landing of municipal infrastructure projects, the demand for PVC110 drain pipe continued to release, but price fluctuations have also become the focus of industry practitioners and purchasers.

First, the core influencing factors of PVC110 drain pipe price in 2025

1. Raw material cost: the "fuse" of price fluctuations

PVC resin is the core raw material of PVC110 drain pipe, accounting for more than 60% of the production cost. In 2025, the international crude oil price is affected by geopolitics and supply and demand relations, showing a "volatile upward" trend, which directly pushes up the procurement cost of ethylene (the main raw material of PVC resin). The data shows that the average price of PVC resin in the first half of 2025 rose by about 8% compared with the same period in 2024, driving the production cost of PVC110 drain pipe to increase by nearly 10%.

2. Market supply and demand: the game of demand release and capacity balance

Demand side, the new construction area of real estate in 2025 increased by 5% compared with 2024, and the demand for drainage system installation of residential projects rebounded; at the same time, the late "14th Five-Year" municipal drain pipe network transformation, sponge city construction and other projects entered the centralized implementation period, and the demand for PVC110 drain pipe in the municipal field increased by 12% year-on-year. On the supply side, the domestic PVC drain pipe capacity is about 15 million tons/year, and the capacity utilization rate will remain at about 75% in 2025. The whole is in a state of "supply and demand balance". However, due to environmental protection policies restricting the withdrawal of small production capacity

3. Policies and regulations: the dual role of environmental protection upgrades and demand-driven

In terms of environmental protection policies, in 2025, the state will further tighten the environmental protection standards of the PVC industry, requiring enterprises to be equipped with advanced waste gas treatment equipment, eliminate backward production lines with a production capacity of less than 100,000 tons/year, and directly increase the environmental protection investment of enterprises. The production cost of PVC drainage pipes per ton will rise by about 100-150 yuan. In terms of demand policies, policies such as "water conservancy projects to make up for shortcomings" and "urban renewal actions" have promoted a surge in demand for new construction and renovation of municipal drainage pipe networks, indirectly supporting prices.

4. Transportation and labor: indirectly push up the end point cost

transportation cost accounts for 8% -10% of the end point price of PVC110 drain pipe. In 2025, the domestic diesel price will increase by about 6% compared with 2024, and the cross-regional transportation cost will increase. At the same time, the labor wage in the construction industry continues to rise, and the installation cost of drain pipe will increase by about 5% compared with 2024, which will promote the end point purchase price to rise slightly.

Second, the market quotation of PVC110 drain pipe in 2025

In the first half of 2025, the domestic PVC110 drain pipe price shows the characteristics of "regional differentiation and quality stratification":

- Conventional specification quotation: The ex-factory price of the national standard PVC110 drain pipe (wall thickness 3.2mm, length 4m) is roughly 18-22 yuan/meter. The southern region (such as Guangdong, Zhejiang) due to strong demand, the price is generally 20-22 yuan/meter; the northern region (such as Shandong, Hebei) due to concentrated production capacity, low transportation costs, the price is about 18-20 yuan/meter.

- Thickened quotation: Thickened PVC110 drain pipe with a wall thickness of 4.0mm (suitable for high-rise residential or municipal main roads), the price is 2-3 yuan/meter higher than the ordinary type, about 20-25 yuan/meter.

- Quality difference: The national standard pipe is 10% -15% higher than the non-standard pipe because it meets the national performance standards (such as impact resistance and aging resistance); the non-standard pipe is gradually eliminated by the market because the material is not up to standard, and the current price is only 85% -90% of the national standard pipe.

Third, the price trend summary and suggestions

In the short term, the fluctuation of international crude oil prices may lead to a slight fluctuation in the price of PVC110 drain pipe; in the long run, with the steady growth of real estate and municipal demand, as well as the cost increase brought about by the environmental protection upgrade of the industry, the price is expected to maintain a "stable and rising" trend.

For purchasers, it is recommended to lock in raw material costs in advance, choose national standard quality pipes, and reduce the risk of price fluctuations; for manufacturers, it is necessary to reduce energy consumption through technological upgrades, optimize supply chain management, and enhance product competitiveness.

In summary, the price trend of PVC110 drainage pipes in 2025 is not only an intuitive reflection of market supply and demand, but also an inevitable result of industrial upgrading. Industry participants need to pay close attention to changes in core factors and make arrangements in advance to meet market challenges.
