Application – Segment Analysis

Based on the application, coatings segments hold the largest share of more than 30% in the plastisols market in 2019. Plastisols serves as a protective, functional, and decorative coating for wide range of applications, primarily for coating of metal parts as it protects the metal from corrosion and wear when they are under constant use. It can be coated via hot dip or cold dip process. Additionally, plastisols coatings offer properties such as non-slip grip, excellent impact strength, and moisture and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, increasing usage of plastisols in wire and cables for electrical as well as thermal insulations is driving the growth of market.

End-Use Industry - Segment Analysis

Textile industry is the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of 8% in the plastisols market during the forecast period. Plastisols are most commonly used inks in textile industry for printing designs on to garments. Plastisols inks are composed of polyvinyl chloride resins suspended in plasticizing medium. Major benefits of plastisols inks are their ease of use in textile printer, higher productivity rate, and good color opacity combined with attractive pricing. According to Trade, Map total apparel and clothing accessories exported all around the globe accounted for USD 247,204,048 in 2019. Whereas, increase in demand of apparels with variety of designs and colors is fueling the growth of textile industries which further escalates the demand of plastisols inks.

COVID-19 proved to be a challenging factor for the plastisols manufacturers due to disruptive supply chain and declining demand from consumers worldwide. Many industries are shuttered due to lack of manpower. The apparel industry body Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) has estimated that if no assistance comes from government either in terms of wage subsidy or revival packages there could be loss of almost 1 crore jobs in the entire textile chain. Due to the coronavirus, purchasing capital of people decreased which has direct impact on construction, automotive and textile industries, subsequently affecting the plastisols market.

Geography - Segment Analysis

Asia Pacific dominated the plastisols market with a share of more than 35% in 2019 followed by North America and Europe. Rapid industrialization coupled with exponentially growing population is driving the growth of plastisols market. High purchasing power with the rise in standard of living has increased construction activities in emerging economic nations. The share of construction in Gross Value Added (GVA) was about 7.3 for India in 2017-2018 and total people employed in construction industry was 49.8 million in 2017. Thus, increase in construction activities increases the use of plastisols for coating, sealing and adhering applications.
