Acrylic Acid Derivatives Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Acrylic Ester and Acrylic Polymer), By Application (Surface Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants, Plastic Additives, Detergents, Textiles and Other) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Acrylic acid is a colorless, organic compound with acrid odor. It is a type of unsaturated carboxylic acid with a vinyl group attached. Compounds derived from acrylic acid are known as derivatives of acrylic acid which mainly include acrylates, methacrylate, acrylic esters, acrylic polymer, and others. these derivatives are significant feedstock compounds for manufacturing of industrial and consumer products. Increasing research in sustainable production method of acrylic acid & derivatives from ethylene and CO₂ shall serve as an opportunity for market growth.

Increasing demand for water-resistant and water-borne coatings and adhesives is expected to drive the market demand. Additionally, increasing use of acrylic monomers in plastic manufacturing as plastic additives as well as monomers shall boost the market growth. Increasing demand for superabsorbent polymers shall positively impact market.

However, acrylic acid, the main parent chemical of derivatives is a highly corrosive compound that can potentially damage eyes and respiratory tract. This is expected to hinder the market growth.
