Polyvinyl Alcohol Market Analysis

Polyvinyl Alcohol Market - Global Industry Research Report and Forecast 2023

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) is produced by polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer followed by hydrolysis. PVOH finds application in various end-use industries such as food packaging, paper, textile, construction, coatings, and pharmaceutical. Polyvinyl alcohol exhibits resistance to moisture, therefore, it is predominantly used in the food packaging. Due to high water solubility and biodegradability, PVOH has increasingly been used in the packaging industry. 

The polyvinyl alcohol market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.09% during the forecast period in terms of value 2018-2023.

 

Increasing demand for sustainable packaging materials is driving the global polyvinyl alcohol market. With rising environmental scrutiny on plastic consumption, the biodegradable plastics are gaining more traction across the packaging industry, especially, food packaging. The rising popularity of packed foods among consumers with the changing lifestyle and an increasing number of the working population is propelling the demand for sustainable packaging materials. The properties of packaging materials play a vital role in the food packaging industry to enhance the shelf life of food products. Thus, PVOH is emerging as a choice of packaging material among the food packaging industry owing to its excellent oxygen barrier properties, solubility in water and biodegradability. Thus, increasing demand for packaged food among the consumers may, in turn, witness demand for sustainable packaging materials during the forecast period.

However, vinyl acetate monomer, a key raw material used in the manufacturing of polyvinyl alcohol, may challenge the market on the backdrop of rising prices of vinyl acetate monomer due to tighter supply.
