Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) Industry Analysis
The global polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) market size reached USD 1.29 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1.70 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 3.24% during 2025-2033.
- The growing need for efficient food preservation solutions is driving the demand for polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) as people place more importance on fresh and durable food items. The superior barrier qualities of PVDC to moisture, oxygen, and aromas make it a perfect option for food packaging. This polymer maintains freshness and prevents spoilage of perishable goods like meats, cheeses, and processed foods, extending their shelf life. The increase in popularity of ready-to-eat (RTE) meals and packaged foods because of hectic schedules is contributing to the market growth. The size of the global market for RTE food was US$ 181.5 Billion in 2023. The IMARC Group anticipates the market will hit US$ 262.4 Billion by 2032, with a 4.18% growth rate during 2024-2032. Moreover, stringent regulations concerning food safety and increasing awareness about reducing food waste highlight the significance of efficient packaging, thereby strengthening the market growth. PVDC plays a critical role in ensuring food safety and reducing waste, aligning with consumer expectations and regulatory requirements, and encouraging its adoption in the packaging industry.
- Advancements like coextruded films and multilayer structures are improving the capabilities and flexibility of PVDC, expanding its use to a wider variety of applications. These developments are resulting in enhanced mechanical characteristics, increased processability, and improved recyclability, aligning with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging options. Furthermore, the creation of bio-derived and reusable PVDC options help with environmental issues and the need to comply with regulations to decrease plastic pollution. Businesses are dedicating resources to research and development (R&D) in order to produce PVDC products that are environment-friendly and compliant with industry regulations, with the goal of reducing their environmental footprint.
- The rising need for high-quality packaging materials that ensure product integrity and stability in the pharmaceutical industry is driving the demand for PVDC. As per the IMARC Group, the pharmaceutical industry in India was worth US$ 54.6 billion in 2023. The outstanding barrier qualities of the material protect pharmaceutical items from moisture, oxygen, and impurities while maintaining their effectiveness and prolonging shelf life. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an aging population, and increased production of generic drugs necessitate reliable packaging solutions. As stated in the 2024 US Census Bureau report, the population of people 65 and older is expected to increase by 47%, reaching 82 million by 2050 from 58 million in 2022. It also projected that the percentage of people in this age range within the overall population will rise from 17% to 23%.
- Stringent regulatory standards for pharmaceutical packaging and the need for compliance with international quality norms encourage the adoption of PVDC. Innovations in drug delivery systems and the introduction of new medications also contribute to the higher use of PVDC in blister packs, sachets, and other pharmaceutical packaging formats. In October 2023, Solvay launched Diofan Ultra736, a PVDC coating solution with superior water vapor barrier capabilities specifically created to lessen the environmental impact of pharmaceutical blister films. This revolutionary coating, which is free of fluorine and complies with regulations, allowed for thinner film designs while still maintaining high oxygen barrier performance.
