The booming construction industry, especially in emerging economies, is significantly increasing the demand for PVC pipe, fittings and profiles incorporated with vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Increasing reliance of the automotive industry on lightweight and durable materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions has led to the surge in the demand for PVC products.
 

Improvements in industrial production and product expansion by large industry players are also fueling the market growth. Manufacturing innovations have increased the productivity and environmental sustainability of VCM production while reducing costs and emissions. The growing global population and urbanization is further driving the increasing use of PVC products in buildings, infrastructure, and consumer goods. As per UN. Org, around 55% of the global population lives in urban areas, which is predicted to rise to 68% by 2050.  The increasing adoption of VCM in the healthcare industry for products, such as medical tubes and IV bags given its safety profile and compliance with medical standards will favor the market growth.
 

Environmental concerns related to the manufacture and use of chemicals, especially carcinogens, have led to stricter regulations, increased compliance costs and limited industry expansion. Fluctuations in the price of crude oil, derived from ethylene is affecting production costs and complicating pricing strategies. Technological developments may also carry risks, forcing firms to innovate and differentiate to remain competitive, subsequently limiting the product demand to some degree.
