Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Market Trends
-
The growing shift towards solar energy and rapid technological advancements drive market growth.
Market CAGR for ethylene vinyl acetate is driven by increased demand for adhesives in food packaging applications and the growing adoption of solar power generation. The solar power industry is witnessing rapid growth worldwide owing to the growing environmental concern and rising demand for renewable energy sources. Further, the thriving construction sector, and growing demand for automotive and furniture, as well as paints and coatings, are the major drivers of the vinyl acetate industry. In emerging economies, including India and China, there has been a rise in consumer disposable incomes that is further aiding the demand for automobiles. This, in turn, is fueling the demand for ethylene vinyl acetate resins, widely used in producing automobile bumpers and molded parts. Rapid technological advancements and expanding R&D activities are expected to affect the vinyl acetate industry's expansion positively. For instance, introducing bio-based ethylene vinyl acetate materials will provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the industry over the forecast period.
Additionally, the rise in demand from the packaging industry is contributing to the growth of the ethylene vinyl acetate market. The increase in the demand for ethylene vinyl acetate is being witnessed in the packaging sector owing to more online purchasing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethylene vinyl acetate is the most dominant polymer in hot melt adhesives for packaging applications. Packaging in ethylene vinyl acetate has good water resistance, easy processing, corrosion resistance, anti-vibration, and thermal insulation. They are reusable, strong, and delightful in appearance, and they are famous mostly among consumers. For instance, As per Smithers, a US-based provider of testing, consulting, information, and compliance services, packaging demand globally reached $917.1 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $1.05 trillion by 2024. The expansion in demand for packaging materials and the positive growth of the packaging industry during the forecast period will further propel the growth of the ethylene vinyl acetate market.
Increasing demand from the Solar PV industry is again projected to foster market growth. It acts as an encapsulant for solar cells or modules. It is a copolymer film that acts as an important sealant for photovoltaic solar modules to safeguard reliability and performance. It is the most common encapsulation used is cross-linkable ethylene vinyl acetate. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2019, PV developers worldwide installed 114.9 Giga Watts (GW) of new solar power, representing a 12% growth from 2018. In terms of the total new solar capacity installed, China represented the largest PV market for the third year in a row in 2019, with a total installed solar capacity of 30.1 GW, followed by the United States with 13.3 GW and Japan with 7.7 GW driving the ethylene vinyl acetate market revenue.
