COVID 19 Analysis

The global pandemic of COVID 19 has made the lives of all businesses adverse. It has forced the economies to forced recession as a result a downfall is seen in the market trend. Due to COVID 19, now everyone has to fight the battle against the health sector as well as the financial sector. Owing to the COVID 19, it has shut down various manufacturing units and logistics and supply chains which is very much essential for the growth of the vinyl-acetate ethylene (VAE) emulsion market. This hinders the growth of the VAE emulsion market in the global market.

The VAE emulsion market is expected to recover during the beginning of the second quarter in the coming year.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The emergence of extensive use of vinyl-acetate ethylene emulsion across various industries such as construction, automotive, wood and wood-based packaging are some of the driving factors that boost the growth of the VAE emulsion market in the global market during the forecasted period from 2017 to 2023. Another factor contributing to the growing share of the VAE emulsion market emulsion is the use of VAE emulsion in headliners and trucks with compatible thermoplastic polymers.

Opportunities

The increase in awareness of green buildings to reduce emissions of harmful gasses to prevent global warming acts as an opportunity for the VAE emulsion market in the global market. Also, because of growing concern about global warming government has put strict environmental regul5 regarding the infrastructure projects of buildings, bridges, and many others. Also, due to enhancement in the indoor environment of buildings, the VAE emulsion market has great growth opportunities during the forecasted period.

Challenges

The main challenge faced by the vinyl-acetate ethylene co-polymer emulsions market is the lack of stability in the supply of ethylene. If the site is not connected to direct ethylene supply then the procurement of ethylene becomes very difficult with rail or road car when compared with liquid monomers. This will increase the raw material cost. Another challenge faced by the VAE emulsion market is the difference in pricing according to different regions, which will ultimately increase the total cost of the finished products.

Value Chain Analysis

The increase in the VAE emulsion market in the global market has helped in the protection of the environment from global warming issues. The products made with VAE emulsion become water-resistant and more durable and their painting and coatings also provide a better experience to their customers.

Market Segmentation

The VAE emulsion market in the global market is divided based on type, and application.

Based on the type

The vinyl-acetate ethylene emulsion market in the global market is segregated based on type into ordinary and waterproof VAE emulsion market. Due to the low price of the product and minimal volatile organic compound (VOC) content, ordinary Vinyl-acetate ethylene emulsion has the largest share of about 68.17% in the global market.

Based on the application

The vinyl-acetate ethylene emulsion market in the global market is segregated based on application into textiles and nonwoven, paints and coatings, re-dispersible powders, caulks and sealants, and many others.
