The global water soluble films market was valued at US$ 268.9 Mn in 2017, and is expected to be valued at US$ 403.7 Mn in 2026.
The global water soluble films market is characterized by the growing demand for water soluble film from various end uses such as detergents, laundry bags, and agrochemicals. Due to the benefits offered by water soluble films in different industries, these are preferred over other films. Consumer demand is also rising due to growing disposable income, worldwide. The market is also marked with advancements in manufacturing technology. Also, the adoption of sustainable packaging by the packaging industry further drives the water soluble films market. Water soluble films are composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) material. PVA material is a water soluble resin. All the substances are biodegradable and it does not contain heavy or toxic substances. Water soluble film dissolves completely in cold and hot water. The increase in the prices of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) resins acts as a restraint for the water soluble films market.
