Middle-East and Africa Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Middle-East and Africa polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is expected to register a CAGR of over 4.5% during the forecast period. PVC is strong and lightweight, durable to weathering, rotting, chemical corrosion and abrasion, versatile, and easy to use, as it can be cut, shaped, welded, and joined in any style.

Key Highlights

• Major factors driving the market studied are the increasing use of plastics to reduce vehicle weight and enhance fuel economy, growing demand from the construction industry, and increasing applications in the healthcare industry
• However, hazardous impacts on humans and the environment are expected to majorly hinder the growth of the market studied.
• The accelerating usage of electric vehicles and PVC recycling are likely to act as an opportunity in the future.

Key Market TrendsGrowing Demand from the Construction Industry

• PVC pipes have been used in building and construction for over 60 years, as they offer valuable energy saving during production, low-cost distribution, and a safe, maintenance-free lifetime of service. These pipes are widely used for pipeline systems for water, waste, and drainage as these pipes suffer no build-up, scaling, corrosion, or pitting and they provide smooth surfaces reducing energy requirements for pumping.
• The high-performance, low-cost PVC materials have made it possible to manufacture present day single-use devices, such as tubes, containers, and syringes. This material has minimized the risk of life-threatening infections that spread through unsterilized medical devices.
• Presently, about 40% of all the medical devices are made from PVC; it is the only material that guarantees performance and quality demanded by medical professionals and regulatory bodies.
• In the medical devices market, PVC is primarily used for flexible tubing and containers, which are used for blood donation sets and components for urine products. Such similar factors are driving the Middle East & African PVC market.

Saudi Arabia to Dominate the Market

• Increasing population, rapid urbanization, and positive developments in the country’s economic conditions have resulted in a rise in residential construction in the country.
