Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Market Share, Analysis and Development Trends Report 2021
Global vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) market is segmented into Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America,
Middle East & Africa and North America as per geography. Vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) is a vital part of petrochemical industry. Vinyl chloride monomer
(VCM) is mainly used for producing poly vinyl chloride (PVC) which is mostly
used in the construction and piping industry.
It is also used in
electrical, agricultural and heath care sectors. Other minor uses of VCM
include manufacture of ethylene diamine for the production of resins and
manufacture of chlorinated solvents. VCM is produced by hydro-chlorination of
acetylene and the de-hydro-chlorination of ethylene dichloride. This process is
polluting the environment and is highly energy consuming but the low cost of
coal fields gives an advantage to China.

Substitution of PVC by
traditional materials is the key driving force for the vinyl chloride monomer
(VCM) market. But lack of diversification in end-use industries and
environmental and health issues will hinder the growth of industry in the
coming years. Technological development can overcome this barrier and many
players in the market have already started taking initiatives in this regard.
Other challenges faced by industry are volatility of feedstock prices and
competition from other polyolefin’s hampering the VCMs capacity addition.
Vinyl chloride monomer
(VCM) market is expected to grow positively owing to growing construction
industry coupled with piping industry during the predicted period. They are considered
as a dynamic part of petrochemical industry. Vinyl chloride monomer is
primarily used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production along with some
copolymer resins which is used by building and construction sector. Development
coupled with growth in the healthcare, agriculture and electrical sector are
expected to propel global vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) market over the forecast
period.
Increase in PVC
application such as pipe & fittings, cable & wires, floorings, tubes,
windows, floorings, bottles and doors are expected to further develop global
vinyl chloride monomer market over the forecast period. Vinyl chloride monomers
are also used in ethylene diamine and chlorinated solvents production. Shifting
focus for bio based vinyl chloride monomer is expected to be the major
opportunity for vinyl chloride monomer market growth over the forecast
period. They are produced by acetylene
hydro-chlorination and ethylene dichloride de-hydro-chlorination. Process
involved in vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) production which is called balanced
process which is expected to pollute environment as it consumes huge amount of
energy. Major VCM parts are used in poly vinyl chloride (PVC) production.
Vinyl chloride monomer
(VCM) market is segmented on the basis of application and geography. On the
basis of application, the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) market is segmented into
poly vinyl chloride (PVC), construction, building, electrical, agriculture
sector and so on.“PVC” was the major segment in VCM and is expected to be the
major segment in the vinyl chloride monomer application. The vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) market is expected to grow at a moderate rate with a single digit
compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). Asia Pacific is the largest consumer of
VCM, with a large contributing of the total VCM consumption followed by North
America and Europe.
The high demand for PVC is
the major driving force for the global vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) market.
Almost all the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) produced globally is used for PVC
production. The United States is the largest manufacturer of VCM owing to lower
prices of feedstock and technological development, followed by China. VCM
growth in developing countries is higher than developed countries as demand for
PVC production is higher due to booming infrastructure in these countries.
The key players in the
vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) industry are Dow Chemicals, Occidental Chemical
Corporation, Georgia Gulf Corporation, Formosa Plastics Group, Axiall, Bayer,
Chemson Group, Mexichem, Nova Chemical, DuPont, Sabic, Tosoh Finechem
Corporation, Taiwan VCM Corporation (TVCM), Solvay, Sasol, Shinetsu, SP
Chemicals, Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, ThyssenKrupp, Cecon Group, Shintech, QPEC,
Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical, Tianyuan Group, Yinglite Chemicals, Jinlu
Group, Huasu Group and angda Group.
