Polyvinyl Alcohol Fibers Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026

In terms of application, the global polyvinyl alcohol fibers market has been segmented into cement additives, textiles, nonwovens, and others (including fishing nets, tire cords, and ropes). The cement additives segment accounted for the leading share of the global polyvinyl alcohol fibers market in 2017. The segment is estimated to expand rapidly during the forecast period. Polyvinyl alcohol fibers are used as reinforcing materials in fiber concrete and widely used as substitutes for asbestos, which are detrimental to human health. Textiles is another significant consumer of polyvinyl alcohol fibers. The segment is expected to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast period.

Based on region, the global polyvinyl alcohol fibers market has been classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. In terms of value and volume, Asia Pacific was the leading region of the global polyvinyl alcohol fibers market in 2017. The region is also the major producer of polyvinyl alcohol globally. These fibers were first developed in Asia Pacific and have long been used in textile manufacturing as binder fibers. In terms of demand, Europe and North America are other significant consumers of polyvinyl alcohol. The polyvinyl alcohol fibers market in North America and Europe is projected to expand at a sluggish to moderate pace during the forecast period. Demand for polyvinyl alcohol fibers in these regions is anticipated to rise due to the increasing usage of these fibers as substitute for asbestos in cement additive applications. Demand for polyvinyl alcohol fibers is estimated to increase significantly in Middle East & Africa and Latin America in the near future. These two regions accounted for small share of the global polyvinyl alcohol fibers market in terms of demand in 2017. However, they are projected to create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers of polyvinyl alcohol fibers in the next few years.
