Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), a colourless organic compound, is currently experiencing significant growth. VAM plays a vital role in the production of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH) and Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH). In 2022, the global VAM market reached an estimated 7,200 kilotons, which is further projected to reach 9,500 kilotons, witnessing a CAGR of 3.5% between 2023 to 2032.
Global VAM Capacity Trends and Regional Dominance
In 2022, global VAM capacity reached 8,545 kilotons, with the Asia-Pacific region leading at 68%, followed by North America at 21%, Western Europe at 5%, and Central & Eastern Europe and the Middle East & Africa together at nearly 6%. Projections suggest an increase of 2,175 kilotons in global VAM capacity, aiming for a total nameplate capacity of around 11,000 kilotons by 2032.
Meanwhile, global VAM demand in 2022 stood at approximately 7,200 kilotons, with capacity utilization rates hovering around 84%. Asia-Pacific leads in VAM demand, with China accounting for over 42% of global demand and serving as a net exporter with an annual average net export of 275 kilotons. Western Europe and CEE's combined demand parallels North America, totalling over 1,000 kilotons. Notably, Germany stood as the exclusive VAM producer in Western Europe following the closure of the Celanese Tarragona plant in Spain and the Ineos Hull plant in the UK in late 2013. The decision to shutter these facilities was driven by a preference for integrated production facilities, offering substantial economies of scale.
Building & Construction and Packaging driving VAM market growth
PVAc constituted a significant 60% of the total VAM demand, with PVOH and EVA accounting for 12% each. VAE closely trailed EVA at 11%, and consumption in EVOH and other applications collectively amounted to around 4%. The growing demand for VAM is primarily driven by end-use industries. VAM serves as a critical raw material for various polymers and resins used in adhesives, packaging films, laminated safety glass for automobiles and buildings, among others. The increasing demand for adhesives in construction, furniture, and various sectors contributes to market growth. VAM also plays a crucial role in the production of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), used in laminated glass due to its shatter resistance, strength, and soundproofing properties. The growth in end-use industries such as construction, packaging, textiles, paints, coatings, and automotive fuels the demand for vinyl acetate monomer.
Surging VAM Capacity: Paving the Path for Growth
In early 2023, INEOS and LOTTE announced plans to expand VAM production capacity from 450 kilotons to 700 kilotons by adding a third VAM plant in Ulsan, South Korea, with expectations for completion by the end of 2025. Moreover, India is poised to influence regional market dynamics with Reliance Industries' planned petrochemical complex in Jamnagar. This complex, pending environmental clearance, will establish a comprehensive VAM supply chain, featuring a total production capacity of 3,000 kilotons of acetic acid, 1,050 kilotons of VAM, 150 tons of PVOH, 900 kilotons of VAE, 500 kilotons of EVA, 1,500 kilotons of ethyl acetate, 300 kilotons of PVAc, and other C1 to C8 products. Reliance has already expanded its ethylene production to accommodate this large-scale expansion. Additionally, Asian Paints is taking steps toward backward integration, planning a 100 kilotons VAM unit in Dahej by 2026 to support its own consumption in the 150 kilotons VAE plant.
Celanese Leads the Way in VAM Market
As of 2022, Celanese stood out as the world's largest VAM producer, with a presence in four countries across three continents and an installed capacity of over 1,565 kilotons, securing a substantial market share of 18%. In the second position, Sinopec contributed over 13% of the global capacity, while Dairen Chemicals and Kuraray collectively held a noteworthy 18% of the market share. Celanese, maintaining its status as the leading VAM producer, boasted a global capacity of approximately 1,565 kilotons in 2021. The company is also known for producing Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) under the brand name Ateva and has plans to enhance its VAM capacity from 300 kilotons to 400 kilotons in Nanjing, China, with the objective of fortifying its global acetyls business.
