According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VPCI) market size was valued at US$ 628 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 859 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.7% during review period.
Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VPCI) is a corrosion control technology in which inhibitor chemistry volatilizes from a carrier material, moves through the atmosphere inside an enclosed package, and then deposits onto metal surfaces to suppress corrosion reactions. In practice, the protection comes from vapor transport plus surface adsorption or condensation in the pack headspace, allowing even recessed features such as threads, cavities, and crevices to receive protection without direct liquid coating. VPCI is also referred to in industry as VCI and vapor phase inhibitors, reflecting the same mechanism of protection through an enclosed microclimate around the metal.
In logistics workflows, VPCI is implemented through packaging materials rather than through post-processing steps. The most common commercial embodiments are kraft-based papers manufactured with inhibitor chemistry, polyethylene films manufactured with inhibitor chemistry, and converted formats such as bags, liners, and shrouds that create the enclosed space needed for vapor action. Where pack geometries are large or hard to seal tightly, accessory formats such as emitters or dual-function inserts may be used to maintain inhibitor availability within the enclosure. This approach is widely chosen when users want to avoid oiling or greasing parts, reduce cleaning at receiving, and lower corrosion-related rework risk during storage and shipment.
Upstream, VPCI packaging material supply chains look like a hybrid of substrate manufacturing and precision converting. Base papers and polyolefin films are combined with inhibitor delivery systems through impregnation, coating, or polymer integration, then converted into rolls, sheets, bags, and custom formats via slitting, printing, sealing, and lamination. The competitive edge is often built on reliable inhibitor loading, repeatable vapor release behavior, and conversion quality that preserves seal integrity and mechanical robustness while meeting odor, residue, and compatibility requirements for different metals. Buyers tend to treat grade selection as part of packaging engineering, so suppliers that can support validation, documentation, and controlled change management are more likely to be qualified for export lanes and mission-critical spare parts programs.
In the current market, global production is around 101,420 MT, with an average selling price of about 6,016 USD per MT EXW basis. Using the provided market structure, industry concentration is moderate, with Top 5 suppliers controlling approximately 40 percent of global revenue, while a long tail of regional converters competes on turnaround speed, format customization, and proximity to industrial clusters. Demand remains structurally strongest in North America and Europe where corrosion control specifications and export packing practices are mature, and it continues to broaden in China and the wider Asia region as machinery, automotive components, and electronics shipments expand into longer and more complex logistics routes. Over the next six years, momentum is expected to come from greater use of mixed-metal assemblies, stronger preferences for dry and cleaner protection, and continuing development of nitrite free systems and more recyclable substrate choices, alongside more data-driven packaging programs that shorten qualification cycles and reduce repeat corrosion incidents through route- and season-aware pack design.
