VCI Film Market

VCI Film Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Stretch VCI Films, Shrink VCI Films, and Sheets), by Material (Polyethylene, Paper, and Substrate), and by End-User Industry (Aerospace & Defense, Electricals & Electronics, Automotive, Metallurgy, and Others) Forecast Period (2024-2031)

Published: Jun 2024 | Report Code: OMR2028645 | Category : Packaging | Delivery Format: /

VCI film market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031). VCI or vapor corrosion inhibitor film, is an anti-corrosive poly packing film. It offers dry, clean, pleasant, and safe packing for metal goods that need to be stored or transported. It comes in several inhibitor kinds, weights, and sizes. This anti-tarnish film guards against tarnish, corrosion, and rust on metal parts, machined parts, engines, and molds. As it is less prone to piercing or tear, it is highly preferred for packing heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped components and equipment during shipment, long-term outdoor storage, or work-in-progress. The growing demand for VCI from the aerospace & defense industry is likely to drive the global market growth.

Market Dynamics

Growing demand for cleaner packaging solutions

The increasing inclination of end-user industries toward adoption of sustainable packaging options to reduce harmful impact on environment is a key factor driving the global market growth. Conventional corrosion inhibitors typically include hazardous chemicals and pose severe threats to environment. VCI films composed of recyclable materials offers an environmentally friendly packaging option. Thus, VCI films are in a great position to meet the manufacturing needs of the majority of industries and to actively pursue environmentally friendly solutions. In May 2024, EcoCortec, a subsidiary of Cortec Corp., launched its state-of-the-art compounding operations for VpCI polymers and bio-resins. Utilizing modern, high-tech compounding lines in its polymer processing facility, the plant is now producing premium concentrated masterbatch. Such developments are further aiding to global market growth.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global VCI film market includes the following segments by product, material, and end-user:

  • Based on product, the market is segmented into stretch VCI films, shrink VCI films and sheets.
  • Based on material, the market is segmented into polyethylene, paper, and substrate.
  • Based on end-user, the market is segmented into aerospace & defense, electricals & electronics, automotive, metallurgy, and other including oil & gas.

Shrink VCI Films is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

The shrink VCI films are most practical and efficient type of VCI film for a range of end-users. The preferred characteristics of VCI films such as a high snug, protective, and compact fit, which lowers the chance of harm from movement during storage or transportation is a key contributor to the high adoption of these sheets. Shrink VCI films have ease of application and near-instant preparation time. Furthermore, as compared to more conventional corrosion control techniques such as oil or grease coatings, shrink VCI films represent a more affordable option. 

Metallurgy Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

It is anticipated that the metallurgical industry would continue to be a significant end-user of VCI film. The fundamental requirement for corrosion protection, which is essential throughout the whole metal production and processing process, is a key contributor to this persistent demand. The VCI film provides a dependable and economical metal protection solution for nearly every production step, from raw materials to final goods. By preventing corrosion on the metals throughout storage, transportation, and even certain specific phases of metal production, the VCI sheets reduce waste and guarantee product quality. The growing demand for VCI film from metallurgy industry to secure precious metals from corrosion is further driving the growth of this market segment.

Regional Outlook

The global VCI film market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

Global VCI Film Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

global vci film market growth, by region

Asia-Pacific to exhibit Highest CAGR during the Forecast Period

The growing packaging industry of the region along with the growing manufacturing industry of the region is a key contributor to the high growth of this regional market. According to Invest India, the Indian packaging market is expected to reach $204.8 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 26.7% during the period of 2020-2025. 

According to the Center for Economic Policy Research, China is now the world’s sole manufacturing giant. As its recent success in electric vehicles demonstrates, its wide and deep industrial base can help it gain a competitive edge in virtually all sectors. A robust manufacturing industry in China further creates a high demand for VCI film across the region.
