The global polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market size surpassed USD 84.48 billion in 2023 and is expected to rise around USD 109.26 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 2.90% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032. The market is significantly growing due to increased demand in the packaging, automotive, electrical, construction, and electronics industries.
The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market deals with the production of medical devices, wire & cables, pipes, and more, and this is a thermoplastic material. Polyvinyl chloride is utilized in various industries, such as building and construction, packaging, healthcare, household products, and others. It is also used in counter medications and clamshell packaging to protect medicines and personal care. The utilization of polyvinyl chloride is growing in these industries due to several advantages such as cost-effectiveness, multi-purpose capabilities, lightweight, tamper-proof, and versatility, which are leading to market growth.
Increasing the use of polyvinyl chloride in different industries fuels the market’s growth
The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market is growing continuously due to its increased use in various industries. PVC is flexible, durable, and resistant to weathering. It is also known as a versatile material. In the automotive industry, PVC is utilized to make parts like sealants, floor modules, wire harnesses, hoods, and doors due to its corrosion-resistant and lightweight.
The electronics industry commonly uses PVC as an insulation and casing material for electronic devices, while due to its strength and low maintenance requirements, PVC is used in the construction industry for wood, rubber, metal, and glass. Also, in the packaging industry, PVC is used for making containers and bags due to its shatter resistance and recyclability, and it does not affect the taste of food. The growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective materials has also contributed to the market's growth, as PVC is one of the most recycled plastics globally.
However, the utilization of PVC can be a health concern because when PVC burns, it releases toxic hydrogen chloride gas and can be harmful to humans. This raised concerns among consumers and changed the consumer's need for eco-friendly items; the government also has strict rules related to the use of PVC. The use of PVC in food products is restricted due to health concerns and consumer demand for eco-friendly packing which can negatively impact the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market growth.
