EVA Copolymer Market

EVA Copolymer Market: Overview and Dynamics

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) copolymers are thermoplastic polymers comprised of ethylene and vinyl acetate. Owing to their excellent flexibility, cohesion and adhesion capability with a wide range of materials they are replacing polyethylene in a range of applications like adhesives, films &, etc. EVA copolymers offer exceptional thermal stability and transparency making it an ideal polymer for film applications.

Owing to high transparency and compatibility with a wide range of substrates, EVA copolymers have emerged as a choice of material in packaging applications including but not limited to meat, food, dairy, and medical packaging.

Further, the trend of high percent vinyl acetate in order to improve adhesion properties is set to augment the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, more than 30% of vinyl acetate in EVA copolymers offers exceptional adhesion to non-porous surfaces due to which it is highly used in hot melt adhesive applications.

Owing to the fact of excellent solubility in organic solvents, EVA copolymer is poised to emerge as an ideal ingredient in adhesives and coatings applications. Moreover, increasing demand for EVA copolymers from the medical device industry and pharmaceutical industry are set to open lucrative avenues for market suppliers. Attributed to the aforementioned facts, the global EVA copolymer market is poised to rise with a CAGR of ~5% over the forecast period (2020-2030).

COVID Impact Insights

The coronavirus outbreak has brought the world on its knees and forced people to live in their homes resulting closed production plants and decreased demand. Spread of coronavirus coupled with lakhs of fatalities across the globe has forced to halt any kind of activity across borders affecting supply demand equations.

Fear of coronavirus has halted every industrial activity in every sectors and so the EVA copolymers market. As per UN estimates coronavirus outbreak has pushed global economy towards great recession and it might take near two years to recover the loss occurred by this pandemic crisis.

Infrastructure and Automotive are some the most impacted sectors due to coronavirus outbreak and might take long term period to recover. These two applications being the prominent consumers of EVA copolymers are set to impede the market growth during the forecast period.
