Easy Availability of Substitutes to Hamper Flexible PVC Films & Sheets Market
The flexible PVC films & sheets market is anticipated to be hampered by easy availability of substitute materials. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and metallocene polyethylene (mPE) resins have been introduced as alternatives to flexible PVC films & sheets. Studies suggest that mPE films offer a number of attractive performance attributes, including superior tensile strength, elongation, and toughness, as well as excellent resistance to puncture, impact, and bursting. EVA films have also been introduced as alternatives to flexible PVC for medical device applications, as they can be fabricated with radio frequency (RF) sealing equipment. Furthermore, films made with EVA combine toughness and low-temperature sealability with clarity, flexibility, and impact and puncture resistance.
Clear/Transparent Products Dominated Flexible PVC Films & Sheets Market in 2019
Based on product type, the global flexible PVC films & sheets market has been divided into clear/transparent, opaque, and semi-transparent/translucent. In terms of volume, the clear/transparent segment dominated the global flexible PVC films & sheets market in 2019.
