I'm afraid proofreading is off topic, as explained in the faq. – Matt Эллен Nov 7 '12 at 10:27

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Yes, it's grammatical. If it's your sentence, you can rewrite it as An understanding is seen as vital because of the increasing pace of the integration of the world's markets. This seems to me to be a bit smoother and less stilted.
