Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is a colorless, highly flammable, and volatile chemical compound. It is a member of the group of compounds known as chloroethylenes. It is used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. It is manufactured by the chlorination of ethylene or by dehydrochlorination of dichloroethane. It is a strong substance with a strong odor that is advisable to use with caution. Additionally, its vapor is heavier than air and can easily spread to distant locations. It is a reactive intermediate in the production of polyvinyl chloride and is used in the manufacturing of a wide variety of plastics, including clear packaging materials, pipes, siding, and flooring. Besides this, it is also used in the production of solvents, adhesives, paints, lacquers, and synthetic leather.
The escalating demand for vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) from the industrial sector majorly drives the global market. This can be supported by the rising product utilization across healthcare, electrical and electronics, building and construction and agriculture industries. Apart from this, vinyl chloride monomer is extensively utilized in the production of automotive parts, such as dashboards, door panels, and interior trim, which is acting as a major driving factor. With the increasing demand for fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles, there has been a significant rise in demand for VCM across the globe. Along with this, vinyl chloride monomer is used in the construction of pipes, insulation, and roofing materials, which is significantly supporting the growth of the market. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of VCM in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic resin, due to its versatility and low cost is also propelling the market. Moreover, the development of disruptive technologies, such as flexible packaging, 3D printing, and bioplastics, is further creating a positive market outlook on the global level. Some of the other factors driving the market include rapid industrialization and urbanization and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
