Vinylon Tube Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Vinylon Tube Market Overview

The Vinylon Tube Market size is estimated to reach a value of US$425.6 million by the end of 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Vinylon is a synthetic fiber composed of polyvinyl alcohol by using limestone and anthracite as raw materials. It is used in a wide range of end-use which include building & construction, automotive, agriculture and other end-uses. The expansion of vinylon tubes is primarily driven by their usage in the construction industry. In 2020, the surge in the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted construction activities as a result of the country-wise shutdown of construction sites, shortage of labor and the decline of the supply and demand chain all across the world, thus, temporarily affecting the growth of the global vinylon tube industry. However, a steady recovery in new development and construction contracts has been witnessed across many countries around the world since 2021, which in turn, is driving the demand for vinylon tubes. For instance, according to recent insights from the World Cement, the global construction industry output increased by 5.7% in 2021. An increase in construction activities along with the surging demand from the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the vinylon tube market size in the upcoming years. On the other hand, fluctuating prices of raw materials may confine the growth of the market.

Vinylon Tube Market Drivers

An increase in construction activities

Construction activities are considered to be the pillar of growth for a country and also play a major role in increasing the overall global economy. The factors such as urbanization and the rapid pace of development to aid the economic growth of the countries are driving the construction activities in multiple regions across the world. For instance, according to Volvo CE, the construction sector saw an increase in construction activities across multiple regions since the fourth quarter of 2020. South America saw an increase of 12%, Asia by 39%, Europe by 20% and China by 28% in 2020. Furthermore, YIT Corporation commenced the construction of numerous residential apartment building projects in Finland, the CEE countries and Russia in December 2021, with total investments of around EUR 200 million (US$236.5 million). The projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.

The properties of vinylon tubes such as low elongation, excellent resistance to extreme weather, chemical and UV rays along with high strength, durability and modulus make them ideal for use in the construction of roofs, staircases, balconies, railings, beams and other components of the building structure. Hence, an increase in global construction activities is expected to increase the demand for vinylon tubes, owing to its above-mentioned properties. This is anticipated to drive the growth of the market in the upcoming years.

Surging demand from the automotive industry

Vinylon Tube composed of polyvinyl alcohol, anthracite and limestone is primarily used in the automotive industry for applications involving car suspension systems, components of engine and transmission, along with components of body and chassis and other similar applications. The properties of vinylon tubes such as high strength, durability and modulus, along with low elongation and excellent resistance to extreme weather, chemical and UV rays make them ideal for use in such automotive applications. For instance, according to a recent study published by the German Association of Automotive Industry during the fourth quarter of 2020, the new registration of motor vehicles reached 16,763 units in Europe, 37,467 units in Asia, 3080 units in South America, 17,421 units in North America, 12,733 units in Western Europe and 5180 units in other regions worldwide. Moreover, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the production of heavy-duty vehicles in Europe reached 3,08,300 units in 2021, an increase of 31% in comparison to 2,36,328 units in 2020. It further states that the total automobile production in 2021 in Europe, America, Asia and Africa increased by 25%, 17%, 28% and 37% respectively in comparison to 2020. Hence, an increase in global automotive production is expected to increase the demand for vinylon tubes for use in various components of an automobile, owing to its above-mentioned properties.

Vinylon Tube Market Challenge

Fluctuating prices of raw materials

Some of the raw materials required for the production of vinylon tubes are obtained from crude oil. As a result, fluctuations in the prices of crude oil may hinder the growth of the market. For instance, in 2020, the international benchmark for petroleum prices across the world also known as Brent crude prices decreased to US$9.12 per barrel, which was the lowest record since December 10, 1998. Likewise, in April 2020, India’s Crude Oil Basket (COB) reached US$19.90 per barrel, which was the lowest record since February 2002. During the first 11 months of the year 2020-21, the average annual price of India’s COB was around US$42.72 per barrel, which decreased by 30% more than the average COB price in 2019-20. Furthermore, as per revised estimates for 2020-21, the COB has increased by around 35% from its initial budget estimate. In this way, such uncertainty regarding the price of crude oil may affect the prices of raw materials that are used in the production of vinylon tubes. Thus, such instability and fluctuating prices of raw materials may limit the growth of the vinylon tube industry during the forecast period.
