Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) Market Research Report: by Grade (PVP K-15, PVP K-30, PVP K-60, and others) ,Application (Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food & Beverage, Adhesives, and Others(paints & coatings, and others), and by region – Global Forecast till 2027

Market Synopsis:
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also known as polyvidone or povidone, is a polymer derived from N-vinylpyrrolidone monomer. PVP is available in liquid or solid state under different forms such as powder, aqueous, and organic solutions.  It is soluble in water and other polar solvents and offers excellent film forming, anti-microbial, moisture holding, and non-allergic properties.

The global polyvinylpyrrolidone market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for polyvinylpyrrolidone as an excipient and binder from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industry. The increasing demand for cosmetics owing to the hair and skin concerns is also expected to propel the market growth. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as a food additive and stabilizer which is anticipated to drive the polyvinylpyrrolidone demand in food & beverage industry over the assessment period. Approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has further augmented the adoption of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the food & beverages industry.

Furthermore, the increasing adoption of polyvinylpyrrolidone in various applications such as water treatment, membrane distillation, gas separation, pollutants removal, and bioethanol recovery to block the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane and to avoid nonspecific binding is likely to boost the market growth. Increasing demand for the product for manufacturing adhesives is projected to contribute to the bolstering market growth during the review period. It is also used in paints & coatings, detergents, printing inks, and photography which may aid the market growth. However, the volatility in the availability of raw materials and their prices may challenge the market growth. The use of hyaluronate in place of polyvinylpyrrolidone in skin care and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is likely to restrain the market growth. Some of the trends noted among major players in the global polyvinylpyrrolidone market are expansions and mergers. For instance, in January 2015, BASF SE invested around USD 65 million for the expansion of their production by 6000 tons to improve its PVP manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Germany. Additionally, the company plans to add a PVP production facility at their Shanghai facility to expand its business in Asia Pacific region.
