Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Market by Grade (Injection, Extrusion), Form (Pellet, Powder), Sales Channel (Direct Sales, Indirect Sales), Production Process, End-use Industry( Residential, Commercial, Industrial), & Region - Global Forecast to 2028

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Market by Grade (Injection, Extrusion), Form (Pellet, Powder), Sales Channel (Direct Sales, Indirect Sales), Production Process, End-use Industry( Residential, Commercial, Industrial), & Region - Global Forecast to 2028

In terms of value, the CPVC market size was USD 1.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 11.1% between 2023 and 2028. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for CPVC from plumbing systems, fire protection, chemical & industrial equipment, and other end-use applications. The demand for CPVC has been challenged by pre-existing regulatory issues and environmental concerns surrounding recycling. However, it recovered in 2021. The construction, industrial, and other industries have resumed manufacturing activities and are now recovering from the pandemic effect, resulting in growing demand for CPVC.

‘‘The extrusion grade segment is the fastest-growing grade segment of CPVC in terms of value and volume.’’

Based on the grade, the CPVC market has been segmented into extrusion grade and injection grade. During forecasted years, extrusion grade segment is forecasted to register highest CAGR. CPVC extrusion is mainly used to create continuous, long shapes, whereas CPVC injection grade is used to manufacture shorter CPVC products. The grade of CPVC mainly refers to the polymer characteristics such as chemical resistance, impact strength, heat resistance, and others.

“The pellet form segment is the second-fastest growing form of CPVC in terms of both, value and volume.’’

During the forecasted years, pellet form is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during forecasted years. Pellet CPVC is widely used for producing small, customized products that meet specific end-user requirements, in addition to long continuous products like sheets and pipes. To make CPVC products from pellets, an injection molding process is utilized.

“The Indirect sales segment is the second-fastest growing sales channel of CPVC in terms of both, value and volume.’’

Indirect distribution involves third parties, like warehouses, wholesalers, and retailers, focusing on their core business while outsourcing distribution to an expert. Sales through distributors involve purchasing raw materials from manufacturers or suppliers, breaking them into smaller units, and selling them to multiple customers while ensuring prompt delivery. Distributors benefit customers by giving them pricing updates and suppliers by providing knowledge of numerous customers.

“The Solid phase segment is the fastest growing production process of CPVC in terms of both, value and volume.’’

The solid phase method involves the chlorination of PVC in a solid state. The PVC resin is combined with a chlorine source and subjected to heat in a reactor. The reaction occurs within the solid PVC matrix, leading to CPVC formation. This method offers better control over the chlorination process and produces CPVC with specific properties suitable for various applications.

‘‘The Fire protection systems segment is the third-fastest-growing application segment of CPVC in terms of both value and volume.’’

CPVC pipes and components have a continued demand for use in fire protection systems in residential and other light-hazard settings. The advantages are straightforward: the material is cheaper and offers quicker and safer assembly than metal alternatives because installers do not need flame or heavy equipment to join components. It is sturdy and reliable, has a 50-year life expectancy, and is resistant to corrosion and deposits that could block water flow. Due to its superior corrosion resistance at high temperatures, CPVC is suited for self-supporting constructions at temperatures up to 200°F (93.3°C).

‘‘The industrial segment is the second-fastest-growing end-use industry segment of CPVC in terms of both value and volume.’’

CPVC plays a vital role in various industrial sectors. It finds applications in electronics, wherein its chemical resistance protects components. In the chemical industry, the ability of CPVC to withstand corrosive chemicals ensures safe transportation. In pharmaceuticals, it maintains its integrity when exposed to pharmaceutical substances, and in the food industry, it handles hot liquids and corrosive substances. Attributes such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and durability make CPVC an indispensable material across these industries, contributing to safety, efficiency, and product quality.

“North America region is estimated to be the third largest CPVC market during the forecast period, in terms of both value, and volume.”

The market growth in the North America region can be attributed to the rise in residential construction activities and construction spending. For instance, Eleven Park Mixed-Use Complex is one of the large projects in the US that involves the construction of a mixed-use complex in Indianapolis, Indiana, US. Construction work commenced in Q2 2023 and is expected to finish in Q4 2027. The project aims to provide better residential facilities. It will improve the quality of the place in Indianapolis by creating an entirely new neighbourhood that will help attract and retain quality workers and families. Such developments are fueling the CPVC market in the region.
