What are the market dynamics in the global vinyl acetate monomer market?
In Asia-Pacific, Ethylene Acetoxylation is the dominant production process used for Vinyl Acetate Monomer production. It is followed by Acetylene/Acetic Acid Addition. The key plants using Ethylene Acetoxylation are CCD Singapore Jurong Island Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant, Dairen Chemical Corporation Mailiao Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant 2, and Celanese Corporation Nanjing Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant. The key plants using Acetylene/Acetic Acid Addition are Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemicals Lingwu Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant, Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works Chongqing Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant 2, and Inner Mongolia Mengwei Technology Wulanchabu Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant.
In North America, Ethylene Acetoxylation is the only production process used for Vinyl Acetate Monomer production. Celanese VAM Technology is the dominant technology used for Vinyl Acetate Monomer production. It is followed by DuPont VAM Technology, and LyondellBasell VAM Technology. The two plants using Celanese VAM Technology are Celanese Corporation Clear Lake Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant, and Celanese Bay City Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant. The only plant using DuPont VAM Technology is Kuraray America La Porte Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant. The only plant using LyondellBasell VAM Technology is LyondellBasell La Porte Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant.
Among regions, Europe plays a vital role in global capex in the Vinyl Acetate Monomer industry. Over $193.7 million will be spent on planned and announced VAM projects between 2021 and 2025. It will be spent on an announced project, INEOS Group Hull Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant 2. The project is expected to start production of VAM in 2024. Asia-Pacific follows with $70.9 million to be spent on planned and announced VAM projects between 2021 and 2025. The main capex spending will be from a planned project, ShengHong Holding Group Lianyungang Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Plant with the capex spending of $45.2 million during 2021-2025. It is expected to commence production of VAM by 2022.
