India Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Market – Overview
The chemical molecule known as vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) has the molecular formula C4H6O2. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity smell that is quite combustible. Polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which is widely used in adhesives, coatings, and paints, is produced using VAM as a key raw ingredient. It is also a crucial component in the production of vinyl-based polymers including vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) copolymers and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). VAM is created when acetic acid and ethylene mix, and due to its adaptability, it is a valuable component in many industrial applications.
Impact of COVID-19 on India Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Market
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the India vinyl acetate monomer market, causing disruptions across the industry. As the virus spread and lockdown measures were implemented, manufacturing activities and supply chains faced unprecedented challenges. The market witnessed a decline in demand due to reduced construction and automotive activities, as well as the temporary closure of numerous manufacturing units. Restrictions on international trade further affected the import and export of vinyl acetate monomer. Also, labor shortages and logistical constraints hindered production and distribution, leading to increased costs and delayed deliveries. While the industry is gradually recovering, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the India vinyl acetate monomer market.
India Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Market – By Application
On the basis of application, India vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) market is divided into Polyvinyl Alcohol, Polyvinyl Acetate, Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, and Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol segments. The Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) segment is the largest application segment in India vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) market. PVA is a versatile polymer widely used in various industries, such as adhesives, paints, coatings, and textiles. Its excellent adhesive properties, water resistance, and film-forming characteristics make it a preferred choice in many applications.
