PVC is a general purpose plastic commonly used in the construction sector, for example in window frames and shutters, pipe cabling and coating, etc. PVC can be clear or colored, rigid or flexible, depending on the added compounds and final application that needs to be achieved. PVC inherently possesses superior fire retarding properties due to its chlorine content, even in the absence of fire retardants.

By application, pipes & fittings segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period due to extensive use in construction industry. Currently pipes & fittings segment holds over 62% of market share in terms of revenue. Film & sheets are expected to exhibit impulse growth in the forecast period. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to a positive outlook for specialty films coupled with growing usage of plastic films & sheets in agriculture.

Generally, PVC found in two type, rigid polyvinyl chloride, and flexible polyvinyl chloride. Flexible PVC is used in electrical cable insulation plumbing, inflatable products, medical devices, and signage while the rigid PVC is used in various applications includes windows and door, and construction (in the form of pipes).

Construction emerged as the leading end-user segment and growth of this segment is mainly driven by significant growth of building & construction sector in Asia Pacific. Packaging segment is expected to exhibit impulse growth in the coming year due to rising demand from the food industry. Rising demand for PVC in electrical & electronics especially from China and Taiwan is expected to support the growth of PVC market in coming years.

Geographically, Asia Pacific is one of the largest markets with more than 52% of market share in term of volume and expected to show a good growth rate over a forecast period. This is due to high growth potential of building and construction industry, especially in China & India. The Middle East & Africa & Latin America is expected to be the fastest growing regional polyvinyl chloride market in coming years.
