The global vinyl acetate monomers market is valued at US$ 8.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.7% to reach US$ 13.9 billion by the end of 2032. Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a colorless, flammable liquid that is used primarily in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and other polymers. The global vinyl acetate monomer market is expected to grow in the coming years due to increasing demand for PVA and other vinyl-based polymers
The major end-use applications of VAM are in the manufacturing of adhesives, coatings, paints, and textiles. These applications are used in various industries such as construction, packaging, automotive, and electronics, among others. The demand for VAM is also increasing in the food packaging industry due to its non-toxic and non-carcinogenic properties.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the global VAM market due to the presence of large textile and construction industries in the region. China is the largest consumer and producer of VAM in the world, followed by Japan and South Korea. North America and Europe are also significant markets for VAM due to the presence of large adhesive and coatings industries in these regions
