by The global Plastisols Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 18.74 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Plastisols are liquid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspensions in solvent that can be applied by dipping, spraying, screen printing or brushing. Once applied, the solvent evaporates leaving a durable film. Plastisols offer benefits like soft texture, corrosion resistance, superior bonding and seam sealing capabilities. They are used for wide range of applications like coatings for fabrics, leather and paper. Growing use of plastisols in automotive, construction and consumer goods industries due to their light weight, flexibility and durability is augmenting the market growth.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the plastisols market is the rising demand for lightweight materials in various end use industries like automotive and construction. Plastisols allow lighter weight fabric coatings and sealants for improved fuel efficiency and reduced cost. Another trend is the growing popularity of eco-friendly plastisol formulations with lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emission. Major players are focusing on developing bio-based and recyclable plastisols using plant-based plasticizers to reduce environmental impact. Advancements in application technologies like powder coating and print coating have also increased plastisol use in new product segments like liquid applied roofing and functional fabrics.
