Key recent trends on the vinyl chloride market in North America

…

Vinyl chloride is highly dependent on the development of end-use markets such as construction and piping industries, since as the most commonly used thermoplastic, PVC is being utilized in the production of a variety of products, such as pipes and fittings, wires and cables, sheets, blow molded bottles, windows, doors, roofing, automotive parts. One of the leading trends on the market is connected with the continuous improvements of the manufacturing

technology,

prompted

by

the

emerging

safety

and

environmental

requirements. Commercial production of vinyl chloride was initially based on the catalytic hydrochlorination of acetylene. However, this route requires high energy costs and is now obsolete everywhere but in China where ample coal supplies have kept the cheap alternative in business. Presently, more than 90% of the global vinyl chloride production outside of China is based on ethylene. What is more, most of the modern vinyl chloride plants use integrated processes, which combine endothermic and exothermic reactions, resulting in an almost energy balanced operation.

Competitive landscape of the market

‌ The main players on the market are large multinational companies, which have the resources to compete for large contracts. However, most of them are quite diversified in terms of product and geographical operations and therefore less reliant on this particular market alone.

The vinyl chloride market is characterized by relatively low product differentiation, although products are less commoditized than most base chemicals. The barriers to market entry include capital requirements for establishing manufacturing facilities, and increasingly stringent regulation, which all serve to increase rivalry‌
