A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global polyvinyl
alcohols
market. The study,
titled “Polyvinyl
Alcohols Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Polyvinyl
alcohols are colorless, synthetically manufactured resins or
polymers. It is synthesized by dissolving polyvinyl acetate polymer
in an alcohol to replace acetate group by hydroxyl group. Properties
and applications of polyvinyl alcohols depend upon molecular weight
and degree of hydrolysis present in the resulting polymer. Depending
on degree of hydrolysis; polyvinyl alcohols are classified as fully
hydrolyzed grade having 98-99% hydrolysis, intermediate grade have
97% hydrolysis and partially hydrolyzed grade have about 88% of
hydrolysis. Properties of polyvinyl alcohols include good barrier
properties, bio-degradable, high bonding capacity, excellent film
formation, no health hazards. The applications of polyvinyl alcohols
include textiles, polyvinyl butyral resins, adhesives, paper and
specialty paper, polymerization, cleaning agents, PVC production,
emulsions, ceramics, cosmetics, wood primers and construction.

Growing
packed food industry is expected to drive the market growth for
polyvinyl alcohols. It is used in packaging of high moisture food to
retain taste, texture and overall quality and improving shelf life of
the food. It is also used as binding and coating agent in food
industry. Coatings of polyvinyl alcohols are used in coating of food
tablets and food formulations in order to protect active ingredients
from oxygen, moisture and other environmental factors. According to
research article, food loss due to improper storage and
transportation of processed and raw food range 30-50% in developing
countries. In addition, growing demand from packaging application in
detergents industry is expected to boost growth of the market. It is
being used in small dose packaging of detergents and cleansers.
However,
raw material price volatility is expected to hamper the market
growth. The demand for polyvinyl acetate is high from various other
applications which are expected to hamper the supply of raw materials
to polyvinyl alcohol manufacturing. New application developments are
expected to provide immense opportunities for the players in the
polyvinyl alcohol market.
Asia
Pacific emerged as largest market for polyvinyl alcohols in terms of
consumption and production. In China, demand for polyvinyl alcohol is
increasing from major applications such as polymerization aid,
architectural applications, paper coatings and adhesives, textile
sizing agents. Demand in China is expected to grow at higher pace as
compared to other regions. Japan, the U.S. and China are largest
producer of polyvinyl alcohol and are expected to remain same. In
Japan and the U.S. polyvinyl alcohol support the high production
levels in the region.
Asia
Pacific was followed by North America in terms of consumption and
production. Manufacture of polyvinyl butyral resin is contributing
significantly to the demand of polyvinyl alcohol in the U.S. Overall
demand for polyvinyl alcohol is expected to grow at moderate pace in
the near future. Demand in Europe is expected to grow at moderate
growth rate with polyvinyl butyral application expected to drive the
market growth. Demand for water-soluble, biodegradable and ceramic
binder polymer in Europe is expected to drive the market growth for
polyvinyl alcohol.
