Market Overview

Polyvinyl chloride PVC is a synthetic plastic polymer made by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomers. The material functions as a versatile and durable thermoplastic which artists use to create window frames and pipe systems, medical equipment and automotive parts. The biocompatibility of PVC makes it suitable for medical devices include IV bags and tubing, a market segment that is projected to experience fast growth. PVC production occurs through vinyl chloride monomer polymerization which employs various techniques including emulsion polymerization and, suspension polymerization and mass polymerization methods.

The Formosa Plastics Corporation declared its decision to increase polyvinyl chloride production capacity at the Baton Rouge Plastics Plant. The announcement occurred in July 2024.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that construction financing reached USD 1817 billion during the first 11 months of 2023 across all building activities. The U.S. Census Bureau highlights that over 1.4 million new housing units were authorized in 2023, which drove demand for rigid PVC pipes and fittings and profiles used in plumbing, windows and flooring.

The healthcare fields, the renewable energy sector and water infrastructure systems provide various development opportunities. The medical field expands its use of PVC for IV bags and tubing because the material meets biocompatibility and safety requirements. PVC now serves as the primary material for cable insulation used in solar power and wind power projects within the renewable energy sector.

Market Segmentation

The North America polyvinyl chloride market share is categorised into type and application.

• The rigid PVC segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America polyvinyl chloride market is segmented by type into rigid PVC and flexible PVC. Among these, the rigid PVC segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The year 2025 saw rigid PVC materialize as the dominant force, which made up 59.65% of all materials used in underground water infrastructure due to its materials provide lasting performance and stable operational expenses.  Rigid PVC, known for its high strength, durability, and resistance to environmental degradation, is extensively used in the construction industry. The market expansion has occurred because manufacturers now concentrate on creating environmentally friendly PVC products.

• The pipe & fittings segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the North America polyvinyl chloride market is segmented into pipe & fittings, profiles & tubes, film & sheets, wires & cables, bottles, and others. Among these, the pipe & fittings segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by PVC, which functions as a flexible, durable polymer that provides water damage protection and abrasion resistance for use in manufacturing Films and Sheets. The establishment of building codes together with public procurement regulations, which require long-lasting materials, has caused government infrastructure projects to choose PVC as their primary material instead of traditional construction materials.
