Challenges In Biaxially Oriented Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) Film Market

The major issue for the market of biaxially oriented polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) film is the environmental issue of plastic waste and sustainability. PVDC films are primarily applied in packaging applications due to their excellent barrier properties, but they are not biodegradable and contribute to plastic pollution. Thus, manufacturers face pressure to find more environmentally friendly alternatives or to improve recycling methods for PVDC films. Another drawback is the growing cost of raw materials and the production process for the PVDC films. Production of PVDC requires special technology and chemicals compared to the production of polyethylene or polypropylene. So, the output will be more expensive. Market growth may be deterred more by this, as it is highly inelastic to price in many regions or sectors where it is sold, like the food packaging industry.

Risks & Prospects in Biaxially Oriented Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) Film Market

Biaxially oriented polyvinylidene chloride films in the market hold immense opportunities for the packaging industry, especially food and beverage packaging. PVDC film is sought after for its excellent barrier properties, which ensure superior protection against moisture, oxygen, and UV light, extending the shelf life of perishable products. With increasing demand for convenient, longer-lasting, and more eco-friendly food packaging, usage of PVDC films is expected to rise by greater percentages, especially in the meat, cheese, and other sensitive food packaging areas. Another use area is in the pharmaceutical and health industries, where PVDC films offer coverings for drugs and medical instruments, thereby preserving the integrity of sensitive products. With an increase in the healthcare industry across the world, particularly in developing nations, there is more demand for better packaging materials that provide safety and quality assurance for products.

Key Target Audience

The primary target customers in the biaxially oriented polyvinylidene chloride film market are packaging firms of food and pharmaceutical products, besides consumer goods companies. PVDC films are highly valued due to their superior barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, and UV light that ultimately can assist in extending the shelf life of the final product. These firms primarily manufacture fresh produce, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals that rely on PVDC films to ensure the freshness and quality of their products. The market also reaches cosmetic, personal care, and electronics manufacturing since the demand for high-end packaging solutions is expanding in those fields.,, Cosmetic products and electronic components are also very common high-end applications due to the durability and a shiny finish that PVDC films offer and because of their excellent protective properties. Environmental concerns have also been seen driving up demands for more sustainable alternatives. As such, PVDC films are being considered ideal solutions for companies that use product preservation but maintain high standards of packaging.

Merger and acquisition

Recent acquisitions and mergers within the biaxially oriented polyvinylidene chloride film market have strategically positioned product enhancement and deeper penetration into core markets. SMI Coated Products, acquired by Jindal Poly Films in April 2022, was a consolidation that provided Jindal an opportunity to expand its product segments, notably in labels and related product lines. It is a significant acquisition because Jindal already is a major manufacturer of BOPP and BOPET films; expansion into PVDC-coated products will position them to be better able to serve the growing demand for food packaging and other applications. In addition to this, Cosmo Films Ltd. has been proactive about expanding its capabilities as well, which includes plans to set up a new production line of cast polypropylene to further diversify the range of products within the packaging sector.
