Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Vinyl acetate monomer is an essential material in the manufacture of many polymers and resins. Vinyl acetate monomer is the key raw material used for the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), etc. Polyvinyl acetate has strong adhesion properties for various materials, including paper, wood, plastic films, and metals. It is also an important ingredient in wood glue, white glue, carpenter’s glue, and school glue. Polyvinyl alcohol is used for adhesive packaging films. The increasing demand for adhesives from various industries such as construction, furniture, etc., is driving the market growth. Furthermore, Ethylene-vinyl acetate is a thermoplastic polymer, which is used in solar cells/modules as an encapsulating agent. Ethylene-vinyl acetate is one of the most widely used encapsulant materials for photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic module with this type of encapsulation protects cells from mechanical damage and moisture infiltration. Encapsulant sheets play an essential role in preventing water and dirt from penetrating solar panels. There is increasing use of ethylene-vinyl acetate for encapsulating solar panels due to its various properties desired for solar modules such as high electrical resistance, low water absorption characteristics, excellent optical transmission, good adhesive properties, high elasticity, etc. However, vinyl acetate monomer is produced by the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Ethylene is an important raw material for the production of vinyl acetate monomers. Ethylene is made from oil-derived products such as naphtha by steam cracking. Hence, the price of oil creates an impact on ethylene prices. Crude oil has highly volatile pricing, and this volatility can reflect in its downstream derivatives. The prices of ethylene keep fluctuating with changing crude values in the global market. In Asia, during the third quarter of 2021, there was an exponential rise in ethylene prices due to an unprecedented hike in the values of feedstock naphtha. This factor is expected to negatively impact global vinyl acetate monomer consumption, hampering the demand for global vinyl acetate monomer over the forecast period.

The development will help the Acetyl Chain's downstream vinyl offering expand significantly.
Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the food and beverage industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. Due to the pandemic-induced economic recession, consumers became more cautious and selective in their purchasing decisions. Non-essential purchases were significantly reduced by consumers due to lower incomes and uncertain earning prospects, especially in developing regions. Many manufacturers of global vinyl acetate monomer faced decline in profits due to reduced consumer demand during the initial phase of pandemic. However, by the end of 2021, many countries were fully vaccinated, and governments announced relaxation in certain regulations including lockdowns and travel bans. People started travelling to different places which increased the demand for global vinyl acetate monomer, boosting the global vinyl acetate monomer demand. All these factors had a positive impact in the growth of global vinyl acetate monomer market across different regions.
