Market Insights
Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a polymer compound with a long and repeating structure. It is soluble in water and other polar solvents. In dry form, it has a flaky texture, high water absorption capacity, and it is fatally harmful to aquatic life. It has excellent wetting properties and easily forms films, making it suitable for coating or as a coating additive.
COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market. All the applications of polyvinylpyrrolidone were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of the pharmaceutical sector. Global supply networks were interrupted as a result of the pandemic. Production was impacted by lockdowns in many nations as factories and manufacturing facilities were closed.
Rising demand for polyvinylpyrrolidone in applications such as adhesives, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, cosmetics, and other applications would drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. The production of shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, mousses, and hair dyes is likely to increase the demand for the product, propelling the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, it is estimated that the product's exceptional film-forming, anti-microbial, moisture-holding, and non-allergic capabilities will be the major factors driving the market's expansion in the coming years. Additionally, the product’s demand is likely to increase due to its increasing application in the production of nail polish, lipsticks, skin creams, sunscreen, and mascara. Overall, the polyvinylpyrrolidone market is expected to grow at a staggering CAGR of 8.2% till 2027.
Segment Analysis
Based on the form type, the polyvinylpyrrolidone market is bifurcated into powder and liquid forms. Powder form is gaining traction in the market and is is expected to remain the faster-growing form type in the market during the forecast period. Due to its high solubility with water and organic solvents, this form has its key applications in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Based on the application type, the market is segmented as pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, cosmetics, adhesvies, and others. Pharmaceutical application is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for polyvinylpyrrolidone during the forecast period.
