Global PVDC Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global PVDC market size was valued at US$ 790 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1075 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.4% during review period.

Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional barrier properties against gases, moisture, and flavors. Chemically, it is a synthetic resin derived from the polymerization of vinylidene chloride. Its unique molecular structure, characterized by closely packed polymer chains with high crystallinity, gives PVDC superior impermeability to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor compared to most other polymers.

PVDC is most commonly used in the form of coatings or films, either as a standalone material or as a layer in multilayer packaging. Its primary applications are in the packaging industry, where it is valued for maintaining product freshness, preventing contamination, and extending shelf life. It is also employed in medical, industrial, and construction applications for its durability and resistance to chemicals and UV radiation.

Properties of PVDC:

Barrier Performance: PVDC is highly effective at preventing the permeation of gases and moisture, making it ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging.

Chemical Resistance: It resists most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, enhancing its utility in industrial and medical applications.

Thermal Stability: PVDC has good thermal stability, allowing it to endure processes such as sterilization and pasteurization.

Transparency and Flexibility: Films made from PVDC are clear and flexible, enabling visual inspection of packaged contents.

Adhesion: PVDC coatings adhere well to substrates like paper, aluminum, and other polymers, making it versatile in multilayer packaging.

The main market drivers include:

Sustainable Alternatives: Manufacturers are investing in developing PVDC variants with reduced environmental impact or alternative materials that replicate its barrier properties.

Nanotechnology Integration: Advances in nanotechnology are expected to enhance PVDC's performance, enabling thinner films with the same or better barrier capabilities.

Growth in Biodegradable and Multilayer Films: PVDC remains integral in multilayer films that combine biodegradable or recyclable materials to meet evolving regulatory and consumer demands.

At present, there are several production companies in the world polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) industry. The main players are SK geo centric, Kureha, Syensqo (Solvay), Asahi Kasei and Zhejiang Juhua, etc. In 2023, SK geo centric is the world's largest polyvinylidene chloride producer, accounting for 25.32% of the global total sales.
