In addition, it includes capacity and production forecasts, feedstock price forecast and company share analysis in major countries of the world. Overall, the report presents a comprehensive analysis of the global PVC industry covering all the major parameters. The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by a team of industry experts.
The Capacity and Production of PVC is Expected to Significantly Increase in the Forecast Period
The global installed capacity for PVC production is currently 47.5 million tons per year. It is expected to grow to 59.1 million tons per year in 2020. The PVC production in world has grown from 24.7 million tons in 2000 to 32.3 million tons in 2009. It is expected to reach around 55.2 million tons in 2020.
Natural Gas is the Most Widely Used Feedstock and Suspension Polymerization is the Most Widely Used Process for PVC Production
Natural gas is the major feedstock used for the production of PVC followed by Naphtha. Coal based derivatives are a newly emerging feedstock for PVC production. The suspension polymerization technique is the most widely used production process to produce PVC and accounts for more than 78% of the PVC produced in the world. The other important production processes are microsuspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization and mass polymerization
