Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) Market Analysis

During the time frame of the forecast, the polyvinyl butyral market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6%.

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19. Given the pandemic situation, car manufacturing plants were temporarily halted to prevent the spread, limiting demand for PVB materials used to manufacture safe, impact-resistant automotive windscreens. However, the industry has picked up speed since 2021, and the market is expected to follow a similar trajectory throughout the projection period as well.

  • Over the short term, the growing number of laminated glass applications and the ever-increasing construction and infrastructure activities across the world are likely to boost market growth.
  • On the flip side, the availability of product substitutes in the market is expected to hinder the market's growth. The high amount of polyvinyl butyral recycling in developed economies could also hurt the market because it would cause environmental problems.
  • In the coming years, the market is likely to grow thanks to growing demand from the photovoltaic industry and more people buying electric cars.
  • During the period of the forecast, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead and have the highest CAGR.

Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) Industry Segmentation

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a clear, colorless, amorphous thermoplastic material that can be produced by reacting polyvinyl alcohol and butyraldehyde. It is mainly used in fabricating various laminated glass products for the automotive, construction, and photovoltaic end-user sectors, owing to its optical clarity and strong adhesive nature. The polyvinyl butyral (PVB) market is segmented by type, end-user industry, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into adhesive films, paints and coatings, printing inks and lacquers, and other types (binders for ceramics and composite fibers). By end-user industry, the market is segmented into automotive, construction, power generation, and other end-user industries (aerospace, defense). The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) market in 15 countries across the major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecast have been done on the basis of revenue (USD million).
