In addition, the growing demand for hot melt adhesives from various end-use industries and construction industry will further contribute to the revenue generation of ethylene vinyl acetate globally during (2024-2031).

 Expanding Packaging Industry

The packaging industry has seen immense growth over the past few decades. With the rise in e-commerce and online shopping, the demand for various packaging solutions has surged significantly. Ethylene vinyl acetate finds widespread application in the manufacturing of flexible packaging used across various end-use industries such as food and beverages, consumer goods, personal care, and others. Its properties such as flexibility, clarity, and resilience make it a preferred material for producing packaging bags, pouches, shrink films, and other flexible structures. The food packaging sector has great scope for EVA as population growth and changing consumer lifestyles have fueled the packaged food industry. Moreover, with increasing awareness about hygiene and safety of packaged products, the usage of EVA films and laminates in food packaging is on the rise. They act as effective oxygen and moisture barriers, protecting the shelf-life and quality of food items. The personal care industry as well utilizes EVA extensively for packaging cosmetic products like creams and lotions in air-tight tubes and bottles. With manufacturing activities and internet shopping gaining momentum globally, the requirement for high-performance yet cost-effective flexible packaging is surging continuously, thus propelling the EVA market growth.

The building and construction industry is witnessing robust expansion in developing economies across Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. These regions are undertaking massive infrastructure projects related to roads, highways, residential and commercial buildings, utilities, and others to cater to their rapidly growing populations and developing economies. Ethylene vinyl acetate finds widespread application in various construction materials due to its valuable attributes. For instance, EVA roofing sheets offer benefits like flexibility, durability, and mildew resistance, making them preferred for roofing structures. Similarly, EVA flooring sheets are durable yet cushioned, finding use in sports complexes, schools, malls, and other commercial spaces. Other infrastructure applications of EVA include fiber cement siding, piping, wire and cable insulation, geomembranes, and sealants. With strong government investments and rising disposable incomes, the infrastructure push in developing regions will continue gaining pace in the coming years. This growing construction activity is expected to drive higher consumption of EVA-based materials and construction chemicals, thereby propelling the overall ethylene vinyl acetate market growth over the forecast period.
