Polyvinyl Butyral Market - Growth, Trends [2028], & Analysis
Global Polyvinyl Butyral Market is anticipated to witness robust growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028 due to the increasing demand from automotive industries. In 2021, the estimated revenue of the automotive industry is USD 486.11 Billion. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a well-known thermoplastic (non-cross-linked) encapsulant. Long utilized in the PV industry for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and thin-film technology with a glass-to-glass arrangement, it is also employed in architecture for safety-glass laminates. The high-water intake of PVB has the drawback of making it particularly susceptible to hydrolysis. As a result, it is not utilized in crystalline Si solar modules made of glass or a back sheet. It was used in thin film-based and glass-glass solar modules. PVB is widely used in aircraft windows for noise reduction, automobile sunroofs for improved safety, and as an interlayer in the glass. Applications for PVB films and sheets in the const...
