7. Conclusion
The stabilization of PVC will continue to evolve strongly in the future, bringing with it a large number of changes and opportunities due to rapidly changing regulatory standards and ever more demanding market demand.
Even if PVC is disappearing from certain applications and countries, it continues to be an essential and irreplaceable polymer in a large number of medical and industrial applications. The evolution of the world of PVC, and therefore of its formulation and additives, will above all revolve around a necessary reduction in its environmental impact, as part of a sustainable development approach.
The use of heavy metals such as cadmium and lead will gradually disappear, and there will be a growing need for purely organic systems. The arrival on the market of bio-sourced PVC produced from renewable materials (sugarcane fermentation)...

...Statistical and economic data
According to figures published by ESPA (European Stabilisers Producers Association) and the European PVC Producers Association (Vinyl 2010), European consumption of thermal stabilisers for PVC in 2010 is estimated at around 160,000 t for some 5.5 million tonnes of PVC, with the breakdown by stabiliser type shown in figure
