The global vinyl acetate market size is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for solar power in developed and emerging economies.
Vinyl acetate is a colorless chemical compound that is precursor to polyvinyl acetate, a crucial industrial polymer. It is prepared by reacting ethylene with oxygen and acetic acid over a palladium catalyst. It does not emit toxic gases. Polyvinyl acetate makes glue highly viscous, which is utilized in various industrial applications.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to halt of supply of raw materials, thus disrupting various industries, leading to low supply and high demand for vinyl acetate. However, relaxation of restriction eased the logistics trade activities, which is estimated to help the market recover soon.
