Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Resins Market

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Resins Market Outlook - 2021–2028

The global ethylene vinyl acetate resin market was valued at $8.4 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $13.7 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2028.

The pandemic has led to disruption in demand and supply chain over the globe, Insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of ethylene vinyl acetate, which negatively impacts the market growth.

EVA resins are copolymers formed using vinyl acetate monomer and ethylene. They offer enhanced stress crack resistance and are able to maintain their flexibility over a varied temperature range from −60°C to 150°C, without the use of plasticizers. They are widely used in packaging and paper industry & electrical and electronic industries, owing to their properties such as high coefficient of friction, low seal initiation temperatures, and superior impact resistance. The development of the packaging & electronic industries and increase in demand for packaging materials & consumer electronics across emerging economies are the major factors that drive the growth of the global EVA resins market.

Market players have adopted agreement, partnership, and expansion as their key strategies to gain competitive advantage in this market. The key players profiled in this report include Sipchem, Al Habib Polymers FZE, Arkema S.A., Braskem S.A., Celanese Corporation, Dow Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Hanwha Chemical Corporation, and Lyondellbasell Industries Holding B.V

Ethylene vinyl acetate resins Market, by Type

By type, the global ethylene vinyl acetate resins market is segmented into vinyl acetate-modified polyethylene (low VA density), thermoplastic ethylene vinyl acetate (medium VA density), and ethylene vinyl acetate rubber (high VA density). Vinyl acetate-modified polyethylene (low VA density) is a copolymer and is processed as a thermoplastic material. Thermoplastic ethylene vinyl acetate (medium VA density) is referred as a thermoplastic elastomer material, which is not vulcanized but has some of the properties of a rubber. 

Ethylene vinyl acetate resins Market, by Application

By application, film, foam, hot melt adhesives, wire & cable, extrusion coating, solar cell encapsulation, and others. EVA foam is widely used in the development of battle armor, as it is firmer and more robust when compared with polyurethane foam. In addition, EVA resin is widely used in solar encapsulation, as it provides optical coupling and electrical isolation.

Ethylene vinyl acetate resins Market, by End User

By end user, the market is divided into automotive; packaging & paper; paints, coatings, & adhesives; electronics & electrical; pharmaceutical; footwear; photovoltaic panels; and others. In the paper & packaging industry, EVA resin is used owing to its properties such as resistance to crack, enhanced flexibility, low sealing temperature, superior toughness, and puncture resistance. In the footwear industry, ethylene vinyl acetate resin is used as shoe midsoles, providing enhanced cushioning and rebound. 

Ethylene vinyl acetate resins Market, by region

By region, the ethylene vinyl acetate resins market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific holds the major share in the global ethylene vinyl acetate resins market, due to the development of the packaging & paper, automotive sector, footwear, and photovoltaic panels & pharmaceutical industries. Increase in demand and production of packaging material, electric automobiles, and photovoltaic panels for the production of solar energy has led to surge in demand for ethylene vinyl acetate resin in the Asia-Pacific region.
