The global PVC emulsion market size is expected to reach around US$ 3.5 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030.
The global PVC emulsion market is broadly affected by several factors such as import-export data of flooring & wall covering, PVC production by region, synthetic leather production, construction industry growth, and GDP growth of respective countries considered in the study. Thus, rise in application of PVC emulsion in different sectors is propelling the global PVC emulsion market. Furthermore, we have excluded micro-suspension-based PVC emulsion from the scope of our study. The market studied is purely for emulsion-based PVC.
The market growth is primarily driven by the soaring demand for PVC emulsion from an array of industrial domains, including automotive, healthcare, and construction. Emphasis on infrastructure development, upgrade of old manufacturing facilities, and growth of the automotive sector will provide abundant opportunities to the players operating in the current market for PVC emulsion. Market players should focus on tapping into opportunities across the healthcare sector amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to generate revenues and maximize profit margins.
Market Players to Address Supply Chain Challenges amid Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected operations and growth of nearly all major core industrial sectors, including automotive, construction, and oil & gas. Stringent restrictions on cross-border trade, temporary shutdown of the industrial sector in major manufacturing hubs of PVC, and fluctuating economy of the market are some of the key factors anticipated to negatively impact the global PVC emulsion market in 2020. Furthermore, a significant decline in the demand for PVC-based products from nearly all major industries is another reason for the slow down of the global PVC emulsion market in 2020. Restrictions on trade and transportation followed by the suspension of major freight carriers during the second and the third quarter of 2020 have resulted in major hurdles across the supply chain. Due to this, the players involved in the current PVC emulsion market landscape are expected to address these challenges in the upcoming months.
High Demand from Numerous End-use Sectors to Aid Market Growth
The surge in the demand for PVC emulsion from a range of industrial sectors for various applications is expected to augment the global PVC emulsion market. Prominent end-use sectors include healthcare, automotive, and construction. On the global scale, PVC is the fifth most highly manufactured plastic, and as per current observations, the trend is anticipated to continue in the upcoming years. The construction sector is likely to provide abundant opportunities to the players and stakeholders involved in the current PVC emulsion market landscape due to consistent rise in the demand for PVC flooring across the world. Moreover, as governments across both developing as well as the underdeveloped regions emphasize on urban and industrial development, the number of construction projects have witnessed an exponential growth in recent years. Thus, the demand for PVC emulsion products is growing.
In the healthcare sector, PVC is used as PVC-based IV bags, urine bags, blood bags, catheters, and disposable gloves. Rising concerns pertaining to the toxicity of chlorine and monomer production are projected to hamper the growth of the global PVC emulsion market during the assessment period.
