Introduction:
Vinylon fiber,
also known as Vinalon, is a type of synthetic fiber produced using
polyvinyl alcohol. It is also, at times, referred to as polyvinyl
alcohol fiber and is not to be confused with Vinyon (synthetic fiber
made from polyvinyl chloride). Technically, fibers in which the fiber
forming substance is in excess of 50% by weight of poly vinyl alcohol
and in which the overall vinyl alcohol units along with one or more
acetal units are minimum 85% by weight are known as vinylon fiber or
polyvinyl alcohol fiber.
Being
newly introduced in the market and invented in around 1930s, vinylon
fiber is in the introductory phase and is anticipated to witness rapid
growth over the course of the forecast period. Among synthetic fibers,
vinylon fiber is hydrophilic, i.e. it absorbs moisture. Attributing to
this characteristic of vinylon fiber, it is gaining popularity as a
substitute to cotton fibers. Vinylon fiber possesses a high Young’s
Modulus, low creep along with low elongation. These features, coupled
with its enhanced resistance to chemical attack and UV rays, are some of
the key properties of vinylon fiber driving its adoption.

Vinylon Fiber Market: Dynamics
While
natural fibers, especially cotton, witness string demand from the
textile industry, synthetic fibers are rapidly gaining popularity and
are estimated to surpass the worldwide consumption of cotton.
Attributing to the habitual consumption of cotton fiber, consumer
reluctance to the shift towards synthetic fibers has been noted in
several regions. Vinylon fiber offers a cotton-like feel and can, hence,
potentially substitute cotton in several applications. Moreover, unlike
other synthetic fibers that emit toxic gases on burning, vinylon fiber
has a competitive edge of not emitting toxic fumes during combustion.
Vinylon fiber is also used in cement reinforcement applications as a
replacement for asbestos. Further, it is used as a raw material for
alkaline battery electrode separators and has been gaining popularity in
automotive and textile industries.
As
vinylon fibers have been recently introduced in the market, they face
the threat of competition from substitute products, mainly on the basis
of cost. Other natural and synthetic fibers have a well-established
market, the scope of applications for vinylon fiber remains limited.
Thus, the growth of the market is expected to remain moderately paced
considering these factors.
The
vinyl fiber market is consolidated in nature with the presence of a
limited number of manufacturers in the marketplace. Competition for the
manufacturing of vinylon fibers is dense in Japan while that for
consumption is significant globally.

Vinylon Fiber Market: Regional Outlook
From
a regional perspective, countries in Asia Pacific, such as India, China
and Korea, are expected to remain prominent regions in the vinylon
fiber market. Japan accounts for a significant share of vinylon fiber
production as well as consumption. Europe and North America are not
expected to hold significant shares of the vinylon fiber market as the
penetration of vinylon fiber in these regions is expected to remain
quite low. Middle East & Africa and Latin America are anticipated to
register slow to steady growth in the vinylon fiber market.
Some
of the market participants identified across the value chain of the
global Vinylon fiber market include Nitivy Co., Ltd., Kuraray Co., Ltd.,
Unitika Ltd., Anhui Wanwei Group, Fujian Fuwei Co., Ltd. and
MiniFIBERS, Inc., among others.
