The construction, auto, electrical, electronics, and packaging industries are all rapidly expanding, which has benefited the global polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market. Rigid polyvinyl chloride is used to make pipes, doors, and window frames. Urbanization and population growth have increased disposable incomes, building spending has increased, implying that basic chemical goods will always be in demand. During the forecast period, there will be an increase in the use of unplasticized PVC in place of wood in window frames and sills, which will increase demand for PVC in the building industry. PVC is also used for specific packaging tasks such as bottle sleeving, packaging of electronic devices and other consumer goods, and packaging of medical equipment.

PVC is durable, lightweight, and resistant to weather, rot, chemical corrosion and abrasion, versatile and easy to use as it can be cut, shaped, welded and assembled to any shape. These characteristics make it ideal for many applications, such as piping, windows, floors and roofing.

Asia-Pacific dominates the global polyvinyl chloride market owing to the rise in the manufacturing of plastic products, quick industrial development, rise in construction undertakings and flourishing electronic markets among other. China is ahead in electronic production in comparison to existing upstream producers like South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. It has the largest electronic production base and there is growth of consumer electronic market. The increased use of medical devices in public hospital has made the medical device market in China one of the fastest growing sector. The Government of India is taking various measures to boost its local electronic manufacturing industry and exports. For example, in 2021, India’s electronic goods export was valued at USD 11.7 billion. The growing electronic market in the country is likely to increase the demand for PVC in the electronic industry during the estimated period. Indian healthcare industry is also booming and India’s public expenditure on healthcare stood at 1.2% of the total GDP. Such factors are boosting the polyvinyl chloride market in Asia-Pacific region.
