Market Definition
The PVC compound is based on the combination of polymers that give a formulation for the finished products necessary as per the requirement of the end-user. It is manufactured by mixing different ingredients of PVC raw materials, which are then converted into a jelly-like substance useful for manufacturing finished goods. Several types of raw materials are used in manufacturing the PVC compound, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, fillers, and alloying polymers. Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound contains plasticizers and softening agents, which give a rubber-like property. Flexible PVC compounds provide flexibility to the products. Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds are mostly used to manufacture the medical tubing, automotive body, electrical wiring, and others. These products need flexibility, so plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds are used in their manufacturing.
Regulatory Framework
- According Regulations by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imposed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it regulates the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This regulation helps to reduce PVC factory emissions of air toxins.
COVID-19 had a Minimal Impact on North America Plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Market
COVID-19 impacted various manufacturing industries in the year 2020-2021 as it led to the closure of workplaces, disruption of supply chains, and restrictions on transportation. However, no significant impact was noticed on their plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound in North America operations and supply chain, as the import and export of vaccines and essential goods led to the increasing demand for plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound. This growing awareness and governmental push for the research and development and new plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds increase the growth of plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound market.
The Market Dynamics of the North America Plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Market Include:
Drivers/Opportunities faced by the North America Plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Market
- Growing building and construction activities in developing countries
The countries are investing a huge sum of money in construction activities, moving toward the path of development. So, the increasing building and construction activities in the developing countries have increased the usage of plasticized PVC compound products, which is expected to drive the growth of North America plasticized PVC compound market.
- Increasing demand for tubes and profiles
Increasing urbanization has increased the demand for plasticized PVC tubes and fittings. According to an article World's Top Exports by Daniel Workman published in 2020, the North America sales for exported items made from plastic from all countries were worth a total of USD 85.3 billion in 2020, which is higher by an average of 26.3% from all exporting countries since 2016. So, the increasing demand for tubes and profiles in a variety of sectors has increased the usage of plasticized PVC compounds in the production of molding tubes and profiles. Hence, the growing demand for tubes and profiles is expected to drive market growth.
- Ability to form desired shape due to molding quality
Plasticized PVC compounds have a variety of applications due to their low cost and mechanical and physical properties. In the medical sector, it is commonly used in blood collection bags as it is flexible and unbreakable, which are preferred in modern blood banks as it is crucial in healthcare. The softness of the flexible plasticized PVC compound ensures comfortable medical devices. Also, it has various other applications and benefits in packaging, households and construction activities. So, the molding quality that helps to get any desired shape increases the demand for plasticized PVC compound manufactured products in the market. This leads to increased demand for plasticized PVC compounds, acting as a driver in the plasticized PVC compound market.
- Recycling abilities of Plasticized PVC medical devices
The plasticized PVC medical devices are recyclable and can be reformed into various new products. So, instead of wasting money on disposing of waste material and spending money on producing new material, the best way is to recycle the products. Sometimes, commodity prices of plasticized PVC compounds rise and provide financial incentive to utilize recycled PVC in manufacturing, encouraging the manufacturing units to use recycled PVC compounds. The recycling nature of the plasticized PVC compound products has increased its demand in the production of secondary products which are used in the medical sector. Hence, the recycling properties of plasticized PVC medical devices are expected to drive the plasticized PVC compound market growth.
Restraints/Challenges faced by the North America Plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Compound Market
- Temperature effect on plasticized PVC compound
Plasticized PVC compounds are used to manufacture the finished goods used in different atmospheric conditions. When plasticized PVC compounds are exposed to dynamic atmospheric conditions, various factors affect plasticized PVC compounds, such as UV radiations and temperature change, leading to the fissure of bonds within the plasticized PVC compound and separation of hydrogen chloride and formation of new bonds in plasticized PVC compound. Thus, from the above statements, it can be stated that high temperature has a bad effect on the plasticized PVC compound, which leads to a shorter life span of plasticized PVC finished goods
- Phasing out plasticized PVC in hospitals
The health care industry is concerned about plasticized PVC products as several government bodies have issued warnings about products manufactured from PVC. The patients, particularly infants, are at risk of health from products containing plasticized PVC compound due to its serious side effects. Researchers found that sick infants treated in neonatal intensive care units had higher exposure to toxicants in their bodies. Thus, it can be concluded from the above statements that medical products and equipment manufactured through plasticized PVC compounds are infectious to infants, due to which, the demand for the plasticized PVC compound in the medical industry may fall in the near future.
