Indian Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) prices

VAM moved sharply higher this week and ended the period at the top of its recent price structure. The latest domestic assessment shows a strong break from earlier baselines rather than a marginal weekly adjustment. Indian Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) prices climbed to Rs 225/kg on March 18 from Rs 175/kg on March 11, locking in a weekly gain of Rs 50/kg and keeping the market close to its recent peak.

The move looks even larger on a broader time frame. The product stood at Rs 101/kg on March 4 and Rs 94/kg on February 16, so the present level is Rs 124/kg higher than a fortnight ago and Rs 131/kg above the month-ago position. On December 18 the market was at Rs 86/kg, and on September 19 it was at Rs 77/kg. Indian Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) prices have therefore widened the short-term range dramatically, with the current level near the recent high around Rs 225/kg and the broader one-year low near Rs 75/kg.

This means weekly volatility was not mild; it was pronounced and visible across every comparison point. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) prices in India are now sitting well above month, three-month, six-month, and year-ago references, including Rs 82.5/kg on March 18, 2025. The present market structure gives procurement desks a clear numerical gap between current replacement values and the lower levels that prevailed through much of the past year, VAM, VAM Market, Market Update, Price Surge, Chemical Industry, Petrochemicals.

Vinyl Acetate Monomer jumps to cycle high

Vinyl Acetate Monomer posted a major upward move in domestic trade, with the latest price climbing to Rs 190/kg from Rs 104/kg roughly a week earlier. That weekly gain has pushed the market to a fresh recent high and sharply altered the structure of current trade. Indian Vinyl Acetate Monomer prices have therefore moved from an earlier low zone into a clearly stronger domestic position within a short period.

The product had previously been trading near the lower end of the recent band, including levels from the mid-60s to low-100s, before rising in steps to the current peak. The move has not been a narrow adjustment but a substantial expansion of the market range.

Across the broader recent period, the market has traded between approximately Rs 65.5/kg and Rs 190/kg. That spread underlines the scale of the change visible in the month view and highlights the stronger volatility now present in domestic trade.
