Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: Vinyl acetate prices in Northeast Asia declined, largely due to weak downstream demand from adhesives and coatings industries in China, Japan, and South Korea. High operating rates at Chinese VAM plants created oversupply, while subdued construction sector activity curbed domestic consumption. On the supply side, stable acetic acid and ethylene feedstock costs minimized upward price pressure, though port congestion marginally increased logistics costs. The fluctuation of the Chinese yuan against the US dollar reduced export competitiveness, leading producers to lower offers in regional markets.
Europe: High natural gas costs continued to pressure production economics, raising feedstock expenses for ethylene and acetic acid producers. Supply-side challenges persisted due to scheduled plant maintenance in Germany and France, which reduced local output. However, cheaper imports from Asia undercut regional producers, prompting discounts to maintain market share. Currency fluctuations, particularly the weaker euro against the US dollar, inflated import bills, but buyers resisted higher offers due to weak downstream uptake. Inland logistics inefficiencies, including trucking shortages across Eastern Europe, further contributed to distribution delays and cost escalations.
Middle East: Consistent domestic demand from the packaging and adhesives sectors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE supported price levels. Feedstock availability remained steady as regional methanol and acetic acid producers operated at near-optimal rates, ensuring balanced supply conditions. Export activity toward South and Southeast Asia increased marginally, reflecting stronger buying interest from emerging markets. Energy subsidies in Gulf economies helped cushion production costs despite elevated oil prices. However, limited shipping container availability at Jebel Ali port caused sporadic delivery delays.
Southeast Asia: Rising construction activity, particularly in Indonesia’s infrastructure projects, boosted VAM demand. On the supply side, temporary disruptions in Malaysia’s petrochemical hubs due to monsoon-related flooding reduced regional production and tightened availability. This supply imbalance widened the gap between demand and supply, supporting bullish price sentiment. Additionally, higher import costs, driven by container shortages and increased freight charges on major shipping routes, amplified upward movement.
North America: Downstream sectors such as adhesives, paints, and automotive coatings reported reduced consumption due to slowing construction and manufacturing activities. Feedstock acetic acid prices softened, easing production costs for VAM producers. Nevertheless, logistical challenges persisted, with rail congestion and hurricane-related disruptions in the Gulf region affecting distribution schedules. A strong US dollar further incentivized imports, undermining regional price stability as domestic producers struggled to defend margins against cheaper Asian cargoes.

Latest developments in the Vinyl Acetate Industry:
- September 2025: Kuraray acquired ISCC PLUS certification at three sites in Japan, the Okayama, Kurashiki, and Saijo plants, thereby establishing a certified supply chain for five vinyl acetate related products within the country. These products included vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), PVOH resin, PVOH film, EVOH resin, and EVOH film. The certification enabled Kuraray to allocate sustainable raw materials using the mass balance method across its domestic vinyl acetate operations.
- November 2024: Kuraray Co., Ltd. announced that six vinyl acetate-related products at four Group companies across production bases in the United States and Europe have been certified under ISCC PLUS*1, which is an internationally recognized sustainable product certification program.
Product Description
Vinyl acetate (CH₂CHOCOCH₃) is a colorless, flammable liquid chemical compound primarily used as a monomer in polymer production. It is synthesized through the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen over a palladium catalyst. Vinyl acetate holds a critical position in the global petrochemical chain as a precursor for producing polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). These derivatives play a vital role in adhesives, coatings, textiles, packaging films, and construction applications. Its key attribute lies in enhancing flexibility, adhesion, and durability in end-use products, making it an indispensable intermediate in multiple industrial sectors.
