Ethylene Dichloride Market Analysis

Application (Vinyl Chloride Monomer, Ethylene Amines)

By the end of 2037, vinyl chloride monomer segment is estimated to account for ethylene dichloride market share of more than 53.3%. The segment’s growth is owing to its critical role in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, widely used in the construction, automotive, and healthcare industries. The rising demand for durable, cost-effective, and lightweight materials drives PVC consumption, boosting VM demand. Additionally, advancements in ED production technologies enhance efficiency, supporting VM supply. Emerging economies' infrastructure development and urbanization further fuel this segment’s growth by increasing PV requirements for pipes, windows, and fittings.

End user (Construction, Automotive, Packaging, Furniture, Medical)

By end user, the construction segment is estimated to dominate the ethylene dichloride market. The segment is due to its extensive use in producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a key material in pipes, fittings, and building materials. Over 50%of all PVC produced is utilized in buildings for things like plumbing and siding. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, particularly in emerging economies, drive demand for durable and cost-effective materials like PVC. Additionally, ED’s role in manufacturing vinyl products, such as windows and flooring, further supports growth. Rising investments in green buildings and smart infrastructure also fuel the segment’s expansion.
