CMAI Launches European PVC Stream Market Advisory Service

HOUSTON, June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Chemical Market Associates, Inc. (CMAI) announces the launch of the European PVC Stream Market Advisory Service, adding further depth and breadth to the products CMAI covers across the chemical sector. While the PVC business is influenced by international trade flows and developments around the globe, it remains largely a regional business. With these considerations in mind, this service has been designed with a global reach, but a European focus. This service provides a comprehensive forward looking view of the European PVC market based on careful detailed analysis of the entire chlor-alkali/PVC value chain; including oil & energy, ethylene, caustic soda, chlorine and PVC resin.
