Glycidyl Methacrylate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Coatings, Adhesives, Electrical Laminates, Plastics, Ion Exchange Resins) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It is a combustible liquid and vapor and is readily miscible with most of the organic solvents. Glycidyl methacrylate is an ester of methacrylic acid & glycidol and is used for the production of automotive coatings, adhesives, electrical laminates, multifunctional acrylates, and hydrogenated liquid epoxy resin (LER). Glycidyl methacrylate has a variety of uses in metal coatings due to its protection properties such as corrosion resistance, weather ability, and chemical resistance.

The key market driver for the global glycidyl methacrylate market is the increasing use of adhesives & sealants and plastics for packaging. Rising demand for protective, chemical resistive, and heat resistive packaging for foods & beverages, electronics, and consumer goods is expected to raise the demand for plastics, hence acting as a market driver for glycidyl methacrylate market.

Key market restraint for the global glycidyl methacrylate market is the regulations imposed by the governments on the use of glycidyl methacrylate due to its hazardous nature. Contact with glycidyl methacrylate has been known to cause skin burns, tissue damage, corneal damage, and allergic skin reaction. Long exposure might result in ulceration, gastrointestinal irritation, and irritation in the respiratory tract. The above factor will act as market restraint for the global glycidyl methacrylate market.
