Global vinyl acetate monomer market outlook

As an important raw material for the production of polymer, the application range of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) Pvc Resin has been expanding in recent years, and its global market price has also increased year by year.

In the process of producing polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and vinyl acid ester copolymer, Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate VAM fully plays the role of an intermediate. Boric Acid Flakes With the help of VAM, the above copolymers have been applied in the fields of additives, coatings, textile packaging and other fields.

According to a report released recently by research and research firm Market Research, a well-known market research organization, according to different uses, the VAM terminal application market mainly includes PVA (polyvinyl acetate), PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol), EVA (vinyl acetate copolymer), EVOH (vinyl alcohol copolymer) and VAE (vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion).

The report pointed out that in recent years PVA has exerted the greatest demand on the VAM market. The consumption of this kind of copolymer in the additive industry has increased year by year.

In terms of prices, market analysts said that the 2014 global VAM quotes have risen. Stimulated by the tight spot supply, global prices of VAM in July and August this year, especially in Europe and the United States, were hovering at high levels. Considering that some VAM units in the world will be shut down for maintenance and other factors in September, the time for prices to remain high may continue longer. Therefore, the price increase will become the main tone of the VAM market this year.
