Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is one of the most famous water-soluble synthetic polymers. PVA is biocompatible, toxicologically safe, water-soluble and suitable for simulation of natural tissues. It has good oxygen permeability, shows no immunogenic effects, and features excellent film forming, emulsifying and remoistable properties. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is exceptionally well suited for large-scale commercial use as an excipient in various pharmaceutical products such as tablet coatings, eye drops, biofermentation and topicals. This report mainly focuses on medical grade polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) market.

Due to the atures of excellent film forming & film strength, high moisture & gas barrier, binding capability and chemical stability, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is exceptionally well suited for large-scale commercial use as an excipient in various pharmaceutical products such as tablet coatings, eye drops, biofermentation and topicals. With the rapid development of downstream pharmaceuticals and industries, the demand for special PVA products is very strong, the development of PVA products is rapid, new products are continuously put on the market, the occupancy rate is continuously improved, and downstream is furtherly expanded. For industry structure analysis, the Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical industry is highly concentrated. Due to the complexity of the pharmaceutical PVA manufacturing process and technology, most PVA manufacturers on the market have not yet reached the relevant technical standards. Global pharmaceutical grade PVA manufactures mainly distributed in Janpan, U.S. and E.U. The manufacturers in Japan have a longest history and unshakable status in this field. Although China is the first major producer of PVA, it has fewer PVAs for the pharmaceutical industry. It is expected that in the next few years, with the development of the medical industry, China will enter the market and gradually increase its competitiveness.
