Industry Statistics
PVC compounds are formed by combining the polymer/PVC resin and additives to achieve the formulation that is necessary for various applications across diverse end-uses. By intricately blending together these ingredients, the compound is prepared, which is then transformed to a gel-based substance. Based on the choice of additives and PVC-type used, the compound generated before gelation can be a free-flowing powder or a liquid. The compound, as a free-flowing powder, is known as a dry blend.
Different additive types that can be used for preparing PVC formulations include PVC resin, filler, flame retardant, plasticizer, impact modifier, pigment, viscosity modifier, UV absorber, and bonding agent, among others.
Upon using plasticizers, PVC compounds are generated as flexible materials, known as P-PVC. On the other hand, compounds generated without plasticizers are specific to rigid applications and are typically known as U-PVC.
The global PVC compound market stood at a volume of around 8,900 KT in the year 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.50% between 2024 and 2032 to reach a volume of about 11,670 KT by 2032. The versatility of PVC compounds makes them popular as a commodity thermoplastic, with its application ranging from medical uses, such as blood bags, to long life applications like window frames or thermal break Profiles. The key factors propelling the PVC compound market are the growing demand for the product from diverse end use industries, including construction and packaging. The electrical and electronics industry is the major consumer of PVC compounds, with an estimated 44% market share. It is followed by the building and construction sector as the second largest consumer. This growth is driven by the growth of the consumer electronics market, increasing demand for wire and cables, and rapid technological improvements in the electronics sector.
The global capacity of PVC compound was about 11,500 KT in the year 2023. It is estimated to reach 13,600 KT by 2032. The plant capacity utilization of PVC compound reached 80% in 2023.
In terms of consumption, the Asia Pacific leads the global market for PVC compound with an estimated 68% market share. It is followed by Europe as the second largest market. In the Asia Pacific, countries like China and India are witnessing a significant demand for consumer electronics and they have emerged as global manufacturing hubs for electronic items, supported by favourable government measures. This favours the demand for PVC compounds in the region’s growing electrical and electronics market.
The leading manufacturers of PVC compounds are Westlake Global Compounds, Shin-Estu, INEOS Compound, Orbia, and Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Crop.
Westlake is one of the world's leading producers of PVC compounds. Committed to innovation and excellence, the company brings an experience of more than 50 years to each of the industries it serves. The company’s operations in the United States include two PVC resin production facilities in Calvert City, Kentucky and Geismar, Louisana. Vertical integration benefits both these PVC plants, with the primary raw material VCM (vinyl chloride monomer) being produced at these locations.
