Povidone Production Cost Reports

Povidone production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Povidone production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Povidone. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Povidone, which is also known as polyvinylpyrrolidone, is a pharmaceutical compound, represented with a chemical formula of (C6H9NO)n, and its molecular weight is 111.11 g/mol. It is a white to pale yellow-colored waxy solid and has no odor or taste. The compound with a wax-like texture has excellent wetting properties. It is a solid with a density of 1.2 g/cm³, measured at a standard temperature of 25 °C.

Its melting and boiling point is measured approximately at 150 °C and 217.6°C, respectively. The compound is slightly flammable in nature but remains stable under normal conditions. It decomposes on heating at an elevated temperature and releases irritating fumes in the air.

Povidone is a soluble solid that can be dissolved in water and various other solvents. It is soluble in chemical solvents, including acids, amines, alcohols (including ethanol and methanol, etc.) as well as nitroalkanes and more. Similarly, it is soluble in other chemical solvents, including chloroform. However, it is insoluble in solvents such as diethyl ether, acetone, and turpentine.

It belongs to the class of synthetic polymers that are used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. The compound is used as an antiseptic medication in the formulation of pharmaceutical products. It possesses excellent wetting and hydrating properties, which is why it is used in the production of eye lubricants.

It serves as a binder in tablets and capsules. Moreover, it acts as an additive with fine film-forming ability and, hence, is used in the formulation of chemical coatings and more. It is used in synthesizing its derivative compounds, including Povidone-iodine, which also serves as a drug component and is used on the skin to decrease the risk of infection for surgical or non-surgical applications.

The market for Povidone, also known as polyvinylpyrrolidone, is majorly driven by its demand as a pharmaceutical compound in the healthcare and chemical industries. Its application in the production of medicines (especially tablets and capsules) and as a wetting agent in lubricants such as eye drops boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Similarly, its usage in synthesizing its derivatives, including Povidone-iodine, increases its demand and strengthens its market growth. Moreover, its usage due to its film-forming ability in coating chemicals fuels its demand in the chemical industry.

The increase in its incorporation in the chemical and healthcare industry impacts its demand in the global market. There are various factors that influence procurement, including demand, governmental policies, production, and market prices, etc. Therefore, variation in its demand as a pharmaceutical component in healthcare and chemical industries, along with the change in its prices and distribution etc., prominently govern its procurement.
