Polyvinyl Alcohol Market: By Grade, By End User, and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Polyvinyl Alcohol Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Grade (Fully Hydrolized, Partially Hydrolized, Sub-Partially Hydrolized, Low Foaming Grades, and Others (Tactified Grades, Fine Particle Grades), By End User (Paper, Food Packaging, Construction, Electronics, and Others), and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Polyvinyl Alcohol Market size was valued US$ 682.1 million in 2023 and growing at a CAGR of 7.2%  from 2024-2030. The owing to rising demand for bio-based packaging coupled with growing investments in constructional activities and high use of polyvinyl alcohol in electronics sector is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, polyvinyl alcohol is used in wide range of applications in various industries such as paper, construction, electronics, textiles, and in medical sector. Because of its non-toxic and moisture and air barrier qualities, PVA is widely utilised as a binding and coating agent in food packaging materials. The market is also growing due to the extensive use of PVA in the production of water-soluble and disposable packaging  for detergents, dyes, and agricultural products. It can also be made into solid sheets, tapes, or strings to make mesh stocking for fishing and other nautical activities. Other key growth-inducing aspects include numerous product breakthroughs, such as the invention of PVA-based bio composite films. The biodegradability, water absorption, and filler loading capabilities of these films are all increased.

However, its hazardous properties are estimated to restrain the growth of the market.

Polyvinyl Alcohol Market Dynamics

Polyvinyl alcohol is used as an additive in sealants and cement in order to intensify their cohesion and fluidic properties, lessening the drying time for the concrete surface. This surges the coating adaptableness and precludes concrete cloth from chapping. High investments in the manufacturing and service sectors of the Asian countries have created huge opportunity for the polyvinyl chloride in the global market.
