The Americas consume a large amount of vinyls. The region’s vinyls demand is around 28.4 million
tons per year currently. North America dominates the vinyls consumption in this region and The US
is the dominant market. The recent global economic downturn has slowed down the growth in the
vinyls market in this region, having its strongest impact on the US. The market in North America is
close to maturity and has low scope for further growth. The South and Central American markets
are growing faster than those in North America. The vinyls market of the Americas is expected to
grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1%.
The production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) consumes Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) and the
production of VCM consumes EDC. These three petrochemicals together form a dominating part of
the entire vinyls market in the region by volume. The majority of demand in vinyls by volume is for
EDC, which has a share of 44.7% by volume in the Americas’ vinyls demand. VCM has a share of
27.1% in the total vinyls demand. PVC accounts for a share of 21.5% in the vinyls demand.
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) accounts for a share of 3.6% and Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)
holds a share of 3.1% in the Americas vinyls demand.

The single largest consumer of vinyls in the Americas is the US, accounting for a share of 83.1% in
the region’s total vinyls demand. Brazil accounts for a share of 7.1% in the Americas’ vinyls
demand. Canada holds a share of 2.8%, while Mexico holds a share of 4.9%. Argentina has a
demand share of 2.1% in the region’s vinyls demand. With the market growth in the other American
nations expected to be higher in the coming years, the demand share of the US will reduce by a
small amount.
PVC is the major end-use for VCM which in turn, is the major end-use of EDC. As a result, the PVC
market drives the demand of the VCM and the VCM market drives the demand for EDC. The PVC
market largely depends upon the dynamics of the construction industry. This is because around
73.6% of PVC in the Americas is consumed in the construction industry. PVC finds use in a wide
variety of applications in the construction industry such as pipes for water distribution and sewer
pipes, windows and roof tiles.
