Global Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Industry Outlook to 2030
The Global Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Industry Outlook to 2030 report has been added to the extensive portfolio of ResearchAndMarkets.com, providing a comprehensive assessment of capacity trends, capital expenditure (capex), and project developments across the global VAM market.
Vinyl Acetate Monomer is a key industrial chemical used in the manufacture of polymers and resins that serve a wide range of downstream industries. Its primary applications include adhesives, paints, coatings, packaging, construction materials, and textiles. Driven by steady demand from these end-use sectors, global VAM capacity is expected to expand significantly over the coming years.
According to the report, global VAM capacity is forecast to increase by approximately 30% between 2025 and 2030, supported by new plant constructions, expansions of existing facilities, and rising investments in emerging and high-growth regions.
Market Overview and Growth Outlook
The global VAM industry is entering a phase of sustained capacity growth as manufacturers respond to rising demand for value-added polymers and resins. Growth in construction activities, infrastructure development, packaging consumption, and industrial adhesives is directly translating into higher VAM demand worldwide.
Asia continues to dominate the market, driven by strong industrialization, urbanization, and manufacturing activity, while North America and Europe remain important mature markets with stable demand and selective capacity additions. Meanwhile, Africa and the Middle East are gradually emerging as regions of interest due to industrial diversification and growing domestic chemical production.
The outlook period from 2025 to 2030 is characterized by a robust project pipeline, including both planned and announced VAM plants, with capital expenditure playing a critical role in shaping future supply dynamics.
