Plastisols Global Market Report 2026

Plastisol, a substance comprising a suspension of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) particles within a liquid plasticizer, is found in a liquid state. It offers a range of advantageous properties including toughness, outdoor durability, flexibility, resistance to abrasion, and chemicals.

Resins found within plastisols encompass acrylic resins and PVC resins. Acrylic resin, a thermoplastic derived from acrylic acid, possesses a glass-like quality. Its applications span various industries such as coatings, moldings, screen printing, adhesives, and sealants, serving needs in industrial construction, military, transportation, medical, textile, agriculture, metal finishing, and other sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the plastisols market by increasing costs of imported pvc resins, plasticizers, stabilizers, and specialty additives used in plastisol formulations. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported resin inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented plastisol production. These tariffs are raising formulation costs and affecting price competitiveness. However, they are also driving local resin production, alternative plasticizer development, and innovation in cost-optimized plastisol solutions.

The increasing demand in the construction industry is expected to propel the growth of the plastisols market going forward. Construction refers to the process of planning, designing, assembling, and building physical structures, facilities, or infrastructure. Plastisols offer multiple benefits in construction, enhancing structural integrity, aesthetics, and performance while providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions. For instance, in August 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based independent producer of official statistics, monthly construction output in June 2024 increased by 0.5%, driven by growth in new work (0.9%) and repair and maintenance (0.1%). At the sector level, seven out of nine sectors experienced growth, with the largest contributions coming from non-housing repair and maintenance (up 3.2%) and private commercial new work (up 2.1%). Therefore, rising construction activity is driving the growth of the plastisols market.

Product innovations have emerged as a significant trend gaining traction in the plastisols market. Leading companies in the sector are dedicated to developing new products to secure a competitive advantage. For example, in October 2023, Chromaline, a US-based printing company, introduced the LTS 8012 laser system-a cutting-edge solution designed to automate the screen-making process in screen printing. This system greatly enhances productivity and quality in the screen-printing sector. The LTS 8012 is equipped with 128 lasers that achieve a maximum resolution of 2540 DPI, which is crucial for creating detailed and vibrant prints, thereby improving efficiency and precision in printing operations, especially when utilizing plastisol inks.

In November 2023, Longacre Group, a UK-based firm dedicated to the sustainable long-term growth of B2B companies, acquired Versiv Composites from Saint-Gobain for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster Longacre Group's portfolio in advanced materials and composites, utilizing Versiv's expertise to foster innovation and sustainability within the industry while enhancing its capabilities in producing high-performance solutions for various applications. Versiv Composites, located in Ireland, is recognized as an expert in high-performance, technology-driven composite films and fabric solutions.
