North America PVC Films Market Growth & Trends

The North America PVC films market size is expected to reach USD 3.32 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at 4.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The adoption of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films in the packaging of food & beverage is increasing, as these films provide a cost-effective and flexible packaging solution to consumers.

Food & beverage is the most prominent market for the packaging industry. Growth in the population (via immigration), rise in the working women population, increase in disposable income, and hectic work-life schedules have macroeconomically boosted the demand for ready-to-eat foods, outdoor dining, and packaged meals.

North America is considered a major and technologically advanced regional market for PVC films as compared to other regions. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in a slowdown or halt in manufacturing activities, restrictions on supply & transport, and the slowdown of infrastructure projects, which is expected to negatively impact the demand for PVC films.

Building material is one of the prominent applications for PVC films in North America. The economic growth of the region has driven government spending in the construction sector. The rise in annual incomes and urbanization has also driven growth in the construction activities of residential buildings.

According to the Census Bureau of the U.S., construction spending was projected to total USD 1,807.5 billion in November 2022, up 0.2 percent (0.8 percent) from the revised October estimate of USD 1,803.2 billion. The actual amount for November is 8.5% (or 1.3%) higher than the November 2021 projection of $1,665.2 billion.
