San Francisco, 17 September 2018 - The global polyvinyl butyral (PVB) market size is likely to reach USD 3.43 million by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Flourishing automotive industry in countries such as China, Japan, U.S., Germany, and Brazil is one of the key factors driving the market.

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a resin that is primarily used in automotive and architectural applications, owing to its various properties including optical clarity, strong binding, excellent adhesion, flexibility, and toughness. Upswing in product demand in end-use industries is stoking the growth of the market.

PVB is substantially utilized in the ceramics industry owing to various properties including wear-resistance, thermal insulation, hardness, brittleness, chemical stability, and oxidation resistance. The demand for PVB in the ceramics industry is projected to exhibit a substantial growth over the coming years owing to its rising consumption in electrical and electronics.

High availability of PVB in various sizes and shapes is poised to augment its demand in the near future. However, price fluctuations of raw materials including polyvinyl alcohol and butyraldehyde are estimated to have a negative impact on the growth of the market. For example, In April 2015, Sekisui Specialty Chemicals, one of the major polyvinyl alcohol manufacturers, announced price hike of polyvinyl alcohol by USD 100 per metric ton.

Some of the prominent industries utilizing PVB adhesives are construction, transportation, consumer products, labelling, assembly, and packaging. Key properties of PVB adhesives include low water content, high boiling point, and hydrophobicity. Some of the leading market players are 3M Company, Bostik China Co., Ltd., Henkel AG & Company, and HB Fuller CO. Spiraling demand for adhesives in the automotive and building & construction industries in developing countries such as India, China, and Thailand is anticipated to fuel growth prospects.
