Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Market Analysis and Development Trends Report 2025
11th
January 2019 - 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.
