Acrylic Polymer Emulsion Market Size Forecast to Reach $18.1 Billion by 2026

Growing Demand for Water-based Paint Emulsions Along With the Adoption of Environmentally Sustainable Formulations Among End-users Are Positively Impacting the Market Growth During the Forecast Period.

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/14/2021 -- Acrylic Polymer Emulsion market size is forecast to reach US$18.1 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2021-2026. The emulsion polymerization process is opted for developing acrylic polymer emulsions. The acrylic polymer droplets are combined in water and then polymerized to obtain acrylic polymer emulsions. These emulsions are versatile due to the acrylic esters functionality. The acrylic polymer emulsions are used for waterproofing, printing inks, polymer coatings, and other applications. Acrylic Polymer Emulsion finds its application in many end-use industries such as build & construction, automotive, paper & packaging, and textile due to its low volatile emission compound (VOCs) emission and excellent durability properties. The growing consumer awareness regarding water-based paints/waterborne coatings is one of the primary factors expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. The growing packaging industry along with the increasing adoption of acrylic polymer emulsions among packaging companies are also boosting the market growth. However, the fluctuating raw material prices and stringent environmental regulations are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting different industries, one of the few industries that were largely hit to some extent was the coating industry. Due to the Covid-19, the construction and textile industries are impacted very badly that further impacted the acrylic coating industry. The slow down in residential constructions due to lack of raw material supplies, and workforce are impacting the market negatively. The textile industry is also registered low revenue during the pandemic, which in turn drive less demand for printing ink or emulsion paints. According to the data published by the Ministry of Textiles, it is estimated that the Indian textile industry revenues have dropped by 28%-30% during the pandemic period. However, the construction, textile, and packaging companies resumed their operation in 2021, which may positively impact the market.

Acrylic Polymer Emulsion Market Drivers

Growing demand for water-based coatings

The growing demand for eco-friendly coatings and paintings among emerging economies is driving the market growth. Water-based coatings have a low impact on the environment and effective compared to other types. Water-based coatings are the commonly used type among end-users due to their sustainable nature and excellent durability. Water-based emulsion polymers are safe and have less environmental impact compared to solvent-based polymers. Water-based emulsion finds its applications in interior and exterior architectures, adhesives, and textile industries. According to the Paint Quality Institute, water-based paints occupy about 80 percent of household paints sold in the USA. Water-based coatings are processed and manufactured by green technology. Green technology processing is eco-friendly in nature and meets safety regulations proposed by various government bodies.

Growing demand from various end-use industries

Acrylic polymer emulsions find their application in various end-use industries such as construction & buildings, automotive, textile, paper & packaging, and others. Synthetic polymer emulsion releases less VOC emission compared to other emulsions available in the market. They act as a protective waterproof layer in both interior and exterior of buildings. The paper & packaging industry uses different types of synthetic emulsion polymers for papermaking and coating operations. These coatings help to extend shelf life paper and also protect and increase aesthetic value. The rapid change in lifestyle and growing demand for packaged food are positively impacting the market. The increased penetration of smartphone and internet usage is also driving the market for the packaging industry. Acrylic polymers emulsions are also preferred in the textile industry due to their excellent adhesive property. They are used for non-woven fabrics, flannelette blankets, and laminations. According to Euratex, the European textile & clothing sector includes 160,000 small & micro textile companies and generated a turnover of Euro 162 billion during 2019-2020.
