polyvinyl chloride market was valued at USD 96.46 billion in 2023. It is expected to reach USD 165.76 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.15% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC, is a type of polymer that is widely manufactured after polypropylene and polyethylene. It is one of the most commonly manufactured polymers. Polyvinyl chloride is preferred over traditional materials such as copper, iron, or wood in a variety of applications due to its operational productivity and profits. The purest form of polyvinyl chloride is a brittle solid that is white and only marginally soluble in tetrahydrofuran while being insoluble in alcohol.
Due to its low cost and water resistance compared to leather and rubber, demand for polyvinyl chloride in consumer applications such as furniture, clothing, footwear, and sportswear will present an enormous opportunity in the near future. Increasing disposable income in emerging economies such as Brazil, China, and India has been a major driver of demand in consumer applications as well as the electrical and electronics industries.
US Polyvinyl Chloride Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
