Global PVC Solvent Cement Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

Global PVC Solvent Cement Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

PVC Solvent Cement is a kind of adhesive usually used to join PVC pipes and fittings. PVC solvent is a fast-acting adhesive that works by chemically bonding the PVC surfaces together. When it is applied to the joint, the solvent cement rapidly softens and dissolves the surface of the PVC by creating a strong bond between the two pieces.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global PVC Solvent Cement market finds that the global PVC Solvent Cement market reached a value of USD 469.64 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 658.43 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.79% during the forecast period.

Arkema acquires Arc Building Products in Ireland, specialized in construction adhesives and sealants December 13, 2023

With the planned acquisition of Arc Building Products, Arkema will strengthen its position in Ireland’s growing construction adhesives market with a broader range of solutions and a local manufacturing footprint.

The Irish manufacturer Arc Building Products specializing in tile adhesives, floor preparation systems, building chemicals and sealing & bonding solutions, has built a solid position in the Irish market, delivering first-class system solutions with a strong emphasis on customer service. It delivers around €15 million in annual sales, with a production facility in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

Building on its strong position in Ireland for over 60 years, Bostik is poised to leverage significant industrial and commercial synergies through this planned acquisition. By integrating Arc’s product range, Bostik will expand its portfolio of high value-added solutions for the growing Irish construction market, driven by increasing needs for sustainable housing and renovation. Bostik will also invest significantly in the Arklow site to increase the local production of its solutions.

Increased demand in downstream markets

Plastic (PVC) pipes offer significant cost savings compared to traditional metal or concrete piping systems because they require less maintenance throughout their service life. Plastic (PVC) pipes are widely used in water supply, sewage and irrigation industries because of their lower cost, ease of installation and corrosion resistance. Because PVC pipes have many advantages, PVC pipes are popular among people. PVC pipes are mainly used in industrial pipes and fittings, water supply, drainage, sewage and other fields. Because CPVC pipes are cheaper, more durable, waterproof and wear-resistant than steel pipes. As a result, CPVC pipes and fittings are rapidly gaining popularity in corrosive and high-temperature applications. PVC Pipe and C-PVC Pipe and Fittings are the downstream application industries of PVC Solvent Cement. Therefore, the growth of the PVC and C-PVC Pipe and Fittings market drives the demand for PVC Solvent Cement, which in turn promotes the growth of the PVC Solvent Cement market.

Threat of substitutes

Due to temperature changes, CPVC Solvent Cement has higher performance than PVC Solvent Cement, regular PVC Solvent Cement cannot be used effectively with CPVC due to the difference in molecular composition. CPVC Solvent Cement is a cement specially designed for this purpose. Transition or universal cement can be used to bond different PVC pipes, such as PVC to ABS. The connection of different pipes will not produce strong chemical reactions and will not produce toxic fumes. The presence of competing products such as CPVC Solvent Cement and transitional Solvent Cement is hindering the growth of the PVC Solvent Cement market.
