U.S. VAM Market Size, by Application, 2013 – 2024 (USD Billion)

 

Vinyl acetate is a clear colorless liquid which is slightly soluble in water, act as an intermediate for making innumerable polymers and resins for coatings, textiles, adhesives, paints, etc. It polymerizes when heated or contaminated. This intermediary compound is predominantly used to manufacture polyvinyl acetate which has better bonding properties with various substrates like paper, plastic films, metals and wood. Further other application of polyvinyl acetate includes paper coatings and industrial coatings.
 

Polyvinyl alcohol is the most comprehensive consumer of vinyl acetate. Major application of polyvinyl alcohol comprises of textiles, packaging films, adhesives, photosensitive coatings and thickeners. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol is used for manufacturing polyvinyl butyral (PVB), this resin has strong adhesion properties as well as toughness and clarity. PVB is primitively used for producing laminated glass of automobiles and buildings providing transparent and protective layers to glass.
 

The paint and coating industry consume immense volume of vinyl acetate monomers and its consumption proportion is substantially rising due to high demand from various end-user industry like construction, packaging etc. Growing constructions activities in developed and developing countries to establish better infrastructure facilities is accelerating the vinyl acetate monomer market demand. Further government investment in Asia Pacific countries like India and China is fueling paint & coating industry. Automobile industry is growing at phenomenal pace owing to rising consumers demand from Asia Pacific and government initiative to bring in foreign investment in the automobile industry.
 

Changing consumer lifestyle has led to increase in the consumption of packaged food product which had entailed the demand for protective packaging. Packaging materials are exponentially used in food service industry, increasing application of these packaging material in quick service restaurants and fast food outlets is favoring the market. Furthermore, developing economies are perceiving prominent growth in the consumption percentage of personal care and hygiene products which in turn is accelerating the demand for carton packaging. Thus, demand for packaging application in various end-user industries is instrumental in driving the global vinyl acetate monomer market over the forecast period.
 

Global vinyl acetate monomer market is restrained by adverse health impact on inhalation of vinyl acetate monomers causing eye irritation and respiratory tract irritation. Volatility in raw material prices such as ethylene acid may hamper the market over the forecast spell. In addition, stringent government regulation implemented on vinyl acetate such OSHA, EPA and FDA for controlling air, environment pollution and preventing the contact of food from harmful contamination respectively will negatively impact the market growth.
