Based on the end-use industry, the PVB films & sheets market is segmented as Automotive, Building & Construction, Solar Energy, and Others. The automotive segment holds more than half of the share of the total PVB films & sheets market. An extensive usage of PVB films & sheets in the automotive industry to increase safety and to reduce noise and light transfer is primarily driving the demand for PVB resins in the automotive industry. Additionally, increasing automobile production is likely to boost the demand for PVB films and sheets in the coming years. It is estimated that approximately 608.5 million units of automobiles (passenger cars, LCVs, and MHCVs) are likely to be produced worldwide during the next five years.
The building & construction segment holds around a two-fourths share of the global PVB films & sheets market, majorly driven by Europe. In Europe and the Middle East, PVB films and sheets are majorly used in architectural applications for window covering with the purpose to promote energy saving and reduce noise. It is expected that Europe and the Middle East will act as the growth engines of the segment’s market in the coming five years.
Based on the regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest PVB films & sheets market during the forecast period. The region is also likely to experience a healthy growth during the same period. Rapidly expanding automotive and construction industries in the developing economies of the region, such as China and India, is the major driving factor behind the dominance of the Asia-Pacific region in the PVB films & sheets market. Out of the total vehicles produced worldwide during the forecast period, approximately 54.2% will be produced in Asia-Pacific only, mainly in China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Thailand.
Europe and North America are also likely to generate sizeable growth opportunities during the forecast period. Both regions also produce a large number of vehicles as well as a huge investment in the building & construction industry. Furthermore, there is a high focus on the development of energy-saving constructions with the purpose to save energy and to reduce noise. These trends are likely to assure the sustainable growth of PVB films & sheets in these regions in the coming years.
