tings, textile screen printing, moldings, and adhesives & sealants)
Plastisol Market Overview
The Global Plastisol Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% to reach a market value of USD XX million by 2026.
Plastisol is a suspension of PVC or other polymer particles in a liquid plasticizer; it flows as a liquid and can be poured into a heated mold. When heated to around 177 degrees Celsius, the plastic particles dissolve and the mixture turns into a gel of high viscosity that usually cannot be poured anymore. Aside from molding, plastisol is commonly used as a textile ink for screen-printing and as a coating, particularly in outdoor applications (roofs, furniture) and dip-coating.
Plastisols are dispersions of homopolymers and vinyl acetate copolymers of vinyl chloride in conventional polyvinyl chloride plasticizers. Plastisols are also composed of pigments, fillers, thixotropic agents, blowing agents, stabilizers, etc.
Global Plastisols Market – Market Dynamics
The global Plastisols market is primarily driven by the surging industrial as well as commercial applications in umpteen end-user industries. The low volatility and odor features of plastisol are widely escalating the demand for defense & military grade plastisol. In addition to this, the availability of plastisol in a variety of finishes such as high gloss, matte/satin, textured, suede is promulgating applications of plastisol in the medical products, toys, etc. Consequently, the global plastisol market is expected to grow steadily over the coming years.
Increasing number of fire safety regulations across automotive industries and upholstery leads to need for compliance with quality standards, thereby driving the demand and supply of plastisols. Growing high-quality performance demand across the apparel industry with rising standards of protective clothing as well as increasing demand for the technical textiles further drives revenue growth of plastisols market. Growing demand from construction industry with increasing need for fittings, piping’s and coatings is fuelling the growth of plastisols market at a notable pace.
The textile market is evolving and printing is gaining a foothold in this field, with screen printing as the preferred choice for printing fabrics. Plastic inks are widely used in coating and inking of textiles owing to their cost-effectiveness, opaqueness, and excellent performance on fabrics. The growing demand for printed textiles such as printed tees, jeans, sweatshirts, jackets, cushions, tote bags, bed covers, and other apparels is accelerating the demand for coating inks in the textile industry. Additionally, increasing consumer preference for colored patterns and fabrics with attractive designs is further fueling the plastisols market growth. However, toxic nature of PVC and phthalates is likely to hinder the growth of plastisols market.
