Geographically, the global market is divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW).

Other regional drivers are advanced healthcare infrastructure and implementation of several government initiatives. The active participation of NGOs has also played a vital role in supporting the North America market. The region contributed to more than 42% of overall revenues in 2013.

However, there are a number of OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that seek alternative materials to replace PVC. Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymers generally do not need plasticizers.
