The Global Market for Acrylic Resins is Projected to Reach 23.2 Billion Pounds by 2022
Ubiquitous Use in Paints, Rubber, Plastics &
Adhesives Sustains Growth in the Global Acrylic
Resins Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Acrylic Resins market. The global market for Acrylic Resins is projected to
reach 23.2 billion pounds by 2022,
driven by the industrial and commercial importance of thermosetting polymers in
a wide range of applications covering synthetic rubbers, textiles, paints,
adhesives, plastics, strippable varnishes, among numerous others.
Acrylic resins represent a
set of thermoplastics that are manufactured by the polymerization of acrylates
or methacrylates. Acrylic acid, which is in turn produced from propylene, is
the major raw material for producing acrylic resins. Acrylic resins offer
superlative chemical characteristics, distinct aesthetic properties and impact-
and high-heat-resistance, making it an ideal material for use in variety of
applications. Major end-use application sectors include paints & coatings,
construction and adhesives among others. Given that growth is influenced by the
business climate in downstream applications, the market is poised to benefit
from the growing construction sector; steady automobile production; rising
demand for lightweight plastics; need for impact resistant, high strength,
quick drying adhesives; widespread use of synthetic polymers in textile processing;
among others. The industry is also making considerable strides on the
technology front with the immense success of bio acrylic resins or eco-friendly
resins. Developments in this space are being encouraged by the focus on
sustainability. Though the development of 100% bio-based material is yet to
materialize, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) materials are being blended with bio-based materials
to facilitate a reduction in the carbon footprint of polymers. Green products
will therefore score the highest gains in the market. Also, stringent VOC
regulations and enhancement of green certification criteria are compelling
production of green alternatives. Increased demand for superior performing and
cost-effective products are fueling demand for new generation resins with
improved functional and aesthetic characteristics.
As stated by the new
market research report on Acrylic Resins,
Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide supported by stable
business growth in well-established end-use markets such as paints &
coatings, construction, and automotive. China represents the largest market in
the region led by rapid industrialization and massive manufacturing prowess
built over a period of two decades. The Middle East and Africa together ranks
as the fastest growing market with a combined CAGR of 6% over the analysis
period. As the largest product segment Methyl methacrylate (MMA) finds primary use in construction and automotive
sectors and in the production of PMMA and modified polymers. Signs and display
constitute the largest end-use markets for PMMA, owing to the recent expansion
of novel PMMA applications in the field of signage, display screens and panels,
and TFT-LCDs.
