Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer Market Analysis
The global ethyl vinyl alcohol copolymer market size reached US$ 904.9 Million in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1419.9 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.10% during 2023-2032.
- The increasing demand for EVOH in the packaging applications that require pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food to remain fresh and uncontaminated represents one of the key factors influencing the growth of the market across the globe. This is primarily due to the exceptional barrier property of EVOH to gases like oxygen is driving its demand in the packaging industry. According to Invest India, packaging is currently the 5th largest sector in the Indian economy. India is a net exporter of packaging products and the largest exporter of sub-segments- Biaxially-oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) & Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC).
- The rising awareness regarding food safety and quality standards among consumers is leading to greater use of effective packaging materials such as EVOH to prevent spoilage and ensure normal shell stability of perishable goods. According to the general instruction of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), packaging materials shall be suitable for the type of product, the conditions provided for storage, and the equipment for filling, sealing, and packaging of food as well as transportation conditions. Packaging materials shall be able to withstand mechanical, chemical, or thermal stresses encountered during normal transportation. In the case of flexible semi-rigid containers, overall packaging may be necessary.
- Improvements in multiplayer film technology allow for the efficient integration of EVOH layers into several packaging structures, enhancing their protective qualities without significant cost increases, thereby facilitating the market growth. For instance, Maine and Oregon became the first two US states to introduce extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation for plastic packaging in 2021. These laws shift the responsibility of packaging waste management to producers rather than municipalities or individuals.
- The growing stringent regulations for packaging safety and sustainability are encouraging the adoption of high-performance materials such as EVOH, which comply with these regulations while offering recyclability and minimal environmental impact.
- The increasing demand for EVOH in the pharmaceutical sector, along with the rising need for high-barrier packaging to protect sensitive medical products from moisture and gases is driving the demand for EVOH in drug packaging.

Product Description
Ethyl vinyl alcohol copolymer also known as EVOH refers to a synthetic polymer known for its exceptional barrier properties against gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen. This makes it highly valuable in the packaging industry, especially for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals to ensure product freshness and extend shelf life.
EVOH is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol, which is produced by hydrolyzing polyvinyl acetate into polyvinyl alcohol, followed by copolymerization with ethylene.
It is characterized by its transparency, flexibility, and resistance to oils and hydrocarbons. These properties make EVOH especially effective in multiplayer packaging applications, where it is employed as a thin layer sandwiched between other materials to enhance the product the barrier against moisture and gases.
The use of EVOH can significantly improve the presentation of packaged goods while maintaining their safety and quality.

Europe Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer Price
The European region in the ethyl vinyl alcohol copolymer market experienced a bearish trend. There was a decrease in demand from regional packaging industries amid switching buyer interest toward recyclable materials and reductions in the use of petrochemical based EBOH for food packaging purposes which led to lower offtakes. The cost support from the feedstock ethylene decreased due to reduced offtakes from glycol industries and increased availability of inventory. Similarly, the decline in prices of feedstock vinyl alcohol also impacted the production cost of EVOH.
