Global Polyvinyl Alcohol Market by End Use (Paper, Electronics, Food Packaging, Construction) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

In 2016, the global market for polyvinyl alcohol was valued at USD 714 million. This represents a 6.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2025. The global market will be driven by a growing demand for bio-based PVA products over the forecast period.

PVA is a synthetic water-soluble plastic that has been used in many industries, including food packaging, construction and electronics. The Food Packaging Industry is driving the demand for this material, which is highly water-soluble and biodegradable.

Due to strict regulations regarding its disposal and decreasing landfill availability, sustainable packaging is highly in demand. There are many factors that drive the demand for packaging, including the increase in consumer base, the cost per package and sustainability in major markets like the U.S., China and India.

In recent years, much has been written about the development of biodegradable packaging materials. To increase the biodegradability of PVA-based products, renewable natural polymers were tested. PVA material, one of the biodegradable synthetic plastics, is widely used because it can be biodegraded in a variety of microbial environments.

There are many uses for polyvinyl alcohol, including ceramics, textiles and coatings, paper and wood. Different end-use industries can benefit from the different grades. Similar grades of the product are also available for different end-uses. This has contributed to an increase in demand for PVA over recent years. Because of its properties, such as ethanol, water solubility and resistance to oil and grease, there are many lesser-known substitutes.

End-use Insights

Food packaging is the most important end-use segment. It accounted for 31.4% global volume in 2016. This segment is expected to grow due to the increasing demand for nontoxic and biocompatible packaging solutions in the food- and beverage industries. These films, which are water-resistant and thin food-grade polyvinyl alcohol film (PPVA) prevent moisture formation. Segment growth will be fueled by the potential for good crosslinking density, and high moisture resistance.

PVA is widely used in construction due to its many properties, including better water solubility, particle size, adsorption capability, cement pore solution viscosity and static filtration. Due to the Asia Pacific's rapid infrastructure development, construction is expected to see robust growth, particularly in China, India and Japan.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific led PVA's volume market in 2016, and this trend will continue in the future. It is expected to be the fastest-growing region market. Market growth is expected to be driven by increasing product demand from different end-use segments, mainly paper.

North America was the largest volume market followed by Asia Pacific. The region is projected to experience a 5.1% CAGR over the forecast period. The region's rising solid waste volume is expected to drive demand for polyvinyl alcohol in packaging applications. Over the forecast period, product demand will be driven by innovation in packaging and consumer demand for sustainability, safety, convenience, and technology.
