North America Vinyl Chloride Monomer Market

Market Overview:

The North America vinyl chloride monomer market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.12% during 2022-2027.

Vinyl chloride, also known as chloroethylene, chloroethene, and ethylene monochloride, refers to a colorless gas used for producing commercial polymers. Vinyl chloride monomers (VCM) are manufactured through thermal cracking of ethylene dichloride and is primarily used as a precursor to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They are also adopted in the production of ethylenediamine and chlorinated solvents. As a result, vinyl chloride monomers are extensively utilized for numerous applications pertaining to construction, electrical transmission, agriculture, healthcare, etc.

In North America, the expanding construction industry has augmented the demand for PVC in pipes and fittings, floorings, cables and wires, doors and windows, etc., thereby driving the market for VCM. Furthermore, the growing installation of pipes and tubes across diverse industries, such as food processing, petrochemical, water treatment, power transmission, etc., is also propelling the product demand in the region. Apart from this, the wide presence of advanced healthcare infrastructures in North America is further catalyzing the use of VCM in the fabrication of several medical equipment, including blood and intravenous bags, cardiac catheters, artificial heart valves, etc. Additionally, the introduction of favorable government policies for promoting sustainable construction techniques to control carbon emissions is bolstering the need for safer product variants.
