What is a vinyl acetate monomer?

Vinyl acetate monomer is a vital industrial monomer that is widely used to produce different polymers like polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, homopolymers, copolymers, etc. that finds applications in adhesives, films, and more.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The vinyl acetate monomer market was severely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Major factors for this are lockdowns, restrictions on international trade, supply chain disruptions, shutting down of industries, and halting of construction or textile industries. The market for vinyl acetate monomer and its products was severely impacted as the end-use industry consumption was reduced during the pandemic.

Market Dynamics

The market dynamics of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) are influenced by various factors that drive its demand and supply. Here are some key market dynamics -

• Rising constructions – The demand for vinyl acetate monomers is growing rapidly due to the rising infrastructure spending in emerging regions like Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Vinyl acetate monomers are also used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, adhesives and binders, films, wire and cable, inks, concrete additives, etc. which are vital for any construction. 
• Increasing shale gas explorations – Vinyl acetate is one of the most important monomers widely used for shale gas exploration. Shale gas production has been rapidly rising owing to growing oil and gas requirements across the globe. In the United States, Shale gas production has increased by 4% (4.9 billion cubic feet per day [Bcf/d]) in 2022, averaging 119 Bcf/d. The U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA expects natural gas production to rise to 42.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) by 2050. With such huge production and explorations, the demand for vinyl acetate monomers will grow substantially, driving the global market for vinyl acetate monomers in the near future.
