These are non-toxic, biodegradable and it gives good barrier properties to odor, aromas, bacteria and gases. Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) films have superior water solubility and it can dissolve at different temperatures with different dissolving rate. It used in packaging of dyes, detergents and agrochemicals. It is used for industrial applications due to its gas barrier protection and resistance to oil & organic solvents. Moreover, they are used in the manufacture of disposal bags, laundry bags and shopping bags.

Amongst End User, Packaging segment accounted held significant market share during the forecast period. The key players in this market are investing in finding innovative applications for food packaging taking into consideration its features, such as good gas barrier and printability properties. Furthermore, as the film can be printed with water-soluble inks, it is likely to add information regarding the food products. By region, North America holds a dominant position during the forecast period owing to the rising use of advanced technology in U.S. which has key manufacturing units related to food and chemicals, across the globe.
