The major growth drivers for the PVC global market are its applications in construction, and electrical & electronics segments. PVC is used in construction for pipes, fittings, window/door frames, flooring solutions, roofing, irrigation pipes; in electronics for insulation purposes and in pharmaceuticals as tablet packaging. The PVC market faces challenges from the threat of substitutes, operating constraints, environmental concerns and a reducing market share in the medical industry.
Significant trends in the PVC market are the development of mercury-free catalysts of polymers, copolymerization of vinyls with olefins and development and use of new plasticizers. Mercury-free catalysts provide an economically available alternative to traditionally harmful mercury-based catalysts. Cross-linking of polymers leads to improved thermomechanical properties and chemical resistance.
The research methodology adopted for the report included:
The most impactful cost component is raw materials, accounting for 80 percent of costs in Asia, 79 percent in the EU and 78 percent in North America.
