Vinyl Ester Market Trends
-
Increased demand for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is the main factor for market growth.
Due to growing environmental concerns, legislation governing hazardous emissions, and the rising need for corrosion-resistant materials, the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) market is being pushed by an increase in demand for FGD installations. The FGD process uses vinyl ester resins primarily in stack liners and limestone slurry pipes. These resins can be used in new and retrofit FGD applications and flake glass lining systems. Additionally, greater infrastructure investments are advantageous for the vinyl ester sector. As a result, the worldwide vinyl ester market CAGR is expanding due to the ongoing demand in the chemical and end-use industries for water and wastewater treatment, which is another factor driving the vinyl ester market. On the other hand, the market for a vinyl ester is being hampered by cheaper prices and the accessibility of replacements. Additionally, growth in the installation of wind turbines ly, followed by a rise in the usage of vinyl ester in mass transit buses and trains, presents an opportunity for the vinyl ester market throughout the time of forecasting.
The widespread use of vinyl ester resins in pipes and tanks is a significant factor accelerating the market's growth. Many industries, including the pulp and paper business, the chlor-alkali and chemical industry, the power generation industry, the mining and metal industry, the industrial water and wastewater industry, and the food processing industry, use FRP pipes and tanks made of vinyl ester. Other important market-driving factors include the expansion of the U.S. marine industry, the installation of wind turbines in Europe, and the rising demand from emerging economies. Furthermore, in 2021–2028, increased use of vinyl ester in public transit buses and trains will further generate new opportunities for the vinyl ester market. Rising environmental consciousness and strict regulations are anticipated to enhance demand for FGD systems. As a result, the demand for vinyl ester is being driven by the expansion of the FGD. Thus, driving the vinyl ester market revenue.
