Polyvinyl Butyral Market Size To Reach $5.94 Billion By 2033

Polyvinyl Butyral Market Growth & Trends

The global polyvinyl butyral market size is estimated to reach USD 5.94 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The Polyvinyl butyral market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to its increasing applications in various end-use industries including automotive, construction, and photovoltaic.

Properties such as good adhesion, high durability & safety, and excellent recyclability, coupled with its ability to reduce noise and UV radiation, are expected to boost the product demand. Moreover, the easy manufacturing process of PVB is likely to increase its demand during r the forecast period. The abundant availability of PVB in various sizes and shapes is expected to augment its demand in the near future.

The increasing number of off-grid solar projects, as well as residential and commercial buildings, in the Asia Pacific and Central & South America, is expected to propel the demand for laminated and safety glasses. The growing use of PVB in solar panels is anticipated to open new market avenues during the forecast period. In addition, its high application in the construction industry owing to resistance against UV and harsh weather is expected to drive market growth.

Major manufacturers are adopting strategies for their market expansion such as production facility expansions, new product development, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures. For instance, in June 2022, Avient Corporation announced two new grades in its REC thermoplastic elastomer portfolio. These grades are formed from the recycled polyvinyl butyral from the automotive glass by Shark Solutions.
