The industry is primarily driven by growing infrastructure in developing nations and increasing awareness of “green buildings.” Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is mostly used in the construction industry due to its physical properties. PVC cladding is rated A+ in BRE’s ‘Green Guide to Specification.’ Some challenges faced by the industry include environmental regulations and fluctuating raw material prices. However, these challenges can be overcome by maintaining a balance between environmental concerns and technological development and functionality. Due to high crude oil prices and environmental concerns, some companies have already started working on bio-plastics which is expected to witness lucrative opportunities in the near future.

Some of the leading participants in the industry include BASF, American Packaging Corporation, Bayer AG, Dow Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, North American Pipe Corporation, DuPont Corporation, Solvay S.A., and Eastman Chemical Company. Companies such as BASF, DuPont, and Metabolix are the leading players in bio-plastics production.
