Procurement of PVC and suggestions for alternative materials.

Real-time material procurement at our overseas factory! Introducing recommended alternatives to PVC!

There is a continued shortage of inexpensive, insulating, durable, and chemically resistant general-purpose PVC material. The background includes factors such as the "expansion of demand for semiconductor factories," the "increased demand for insulation materials for wires and cables," and the "anticipated increase in demand for cables for offshore wind power generation." These factors are not expected to be resolved quickly, and a further shortage of PVC is anticipated in the future. In response, we are conducting real-time material procurement at our overseas factories and offering alternative materials in Japan. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. **Reasons for the PVC Shortage** - Expansion of demand for semiconductor factories - Revitalization of the housing market in the U.S. due to large-scale monetary easing - Increased demand in Japan primarily for construction materials such as pipes - Expansion of demand for insulation materials for wires and cables - Expansion of infrastructure development for high-speed communication standard "5G" - Anticipated increase in demand for cables for offshore wind power generation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
