Vinyl Chloride Monomer Market Analysis
The Vinyl Chloride Monomer Market size is expected to grow from 43.70 million tons in 2023 to 52.84 million tons by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.87% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. This was because of the shutdown of the manufacturing facilities and plants due to the lockdown and restrictions. Supply chain and transportation disruptions further created hindrances for the market. However, the industry witnessed a recovery in 2021, thus rebounding the demand for the market studied.
- Over the short term, rising demand from the building and construction sectors, as well as rising demand from the healthcare sector, are some of the factors driving the growth of the market studied.
- On the flip side, rising environmental concerns, the availability of substitutes in various applications, fluctuating raw material prices, and stringent government regulations are some of the factors hindering the growth of the market.
- Furthermore, the emergence of bio-based vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and advancements in the product through research and development are expected to provide numerous opportunities over the forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global vinyl chloride monomer market, and it is also estimated to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period due to the increasing demand from building and construction sectors in countries such as China and India.
