Rising demand from APAC is notably driving the market. The global market is experiencing very high growth momentum in APAC due to the rise in the automotive and electronics sectors. In addition, the increased government support and funding to improve the infrastructure is one of the major reasons behind the huge demand for products such as polyvinyl butyral in APAC.
Moreover, polyvinyl butyral-based metal paints and primers are highly used in the electronics and construction sectors owing to their properties, such as corrosion resistance, quality finish, and aesthetic appeal. In addition, the growing importance of electronic gadgets and electronic equipment, which can be attributable to the superior performance and properties of polyvinyl butyral, creates an incremental growth opportunity for polyvinyl butyral. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
Increasing adoption of sustainable products is an emerging trend in the market. Increasing emphasis on reducing VOC emissions and sustainability has led polyvinyl butyral manufacturers to develop new, environment-friendly products. In addition, these products reduce carbon footprint. Currently, the newer products must not only be of superior quality but also be sustainable and low-cost.
Moreover, the growing demand from consumer applications is elevating the consumption of polyvinyl butyral in the near future. In addition, manufacturers are under immense pressure to use sustainable production methods. As the cost of polymer materials increases, so does the pollution generated by their waste. Furthermore, the recycling of polyvinyl butyral waste from end-of-life vehicle windscreens has gained much attention as a resource that can be reused and abundant. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.
The higher production cost of polyvinyl butyral is a major challenge hindering the market. The global market experiences high raw material costs due to volatility in crude oil prices. In addition, the complicated production process of polyvinyl butyral increases the production cost. Furthermore, the production process involves the transesterification of polyvinyl acetate to obtain polyvinyl alcohol.
Moreover, the aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution undergoes a chemical reaction with an aldehyde in the presence of mineral acid, which yields polyvinyl butyral. In addition, even though, the production of polyvinyl butyral is a two-step process, it is time-consuming. Polyvinyl butyral is obtained in different grades, and it is used in a variety of applications. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
The films and sheets segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This growth is fuelled by the efficient quality of polyvinyl butyral films and sheets. In addition, polyvinyl butyral films are used in a variety of applications, such as packaging a wide range of products, such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Furthermore, they are also used for making bags, labels, and shrink wrap, and they are used in medical applications, such as making surgical gloves, IV bags, and blood bags.

The films and sheets segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 2.67 billion in 2018. Moreover, the rapid growth of the automotive and construction industry is a major factor in the growth of the global polyvinyl butyral market. In addition, polyvinyl butyral-based sheets and films are majorly used to manufacture windshields in the automobile industry as they provide noise reduction, durability, and weather resistance. Furthermore, the growing demand for thin films to manufacture solar panels will create more growth opportunities for the global polyvinyl butyral market. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.
Based on the end-user, the market has been segmented into automotive, building and construction, electrical and electronics, and others. The automotive segment will account for the largest share of this segment. Polyvinyl butyral is one of the specialty resins increasingly used as a raw material in automotive laminate safety glass sheets. In addition, laminated safety glass is the primary interlayer used in automotive applications. Moreover, while laminated glass has been used as the primary interlayer in windshields for decades, laminated glass is increasingly being used in the production of side and roof paneling on luxury vehicles to improve safety, reduce noise, and transfer light. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market during the forecast period.
