Global Emulsion Polymers Market By Application (Paints and Coatings, Paper & Paperboard Coatings, Adhesives and Other Applications) By Product (Acrylics, Styrene-Butadiene Latex, Vinyl Acetate Polymers and Other Products) By Region, Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2019 - 2025

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Emulsion Polymers Market size is expected to reach $53.7 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 5.7% CAGR during the forecast period. Emulsion polymerization is a kind of radical polymerization that generally initiates with an emulsion including monomer, water and surfactant. The most familiar kind of emulsion polymerization is an oil-in-water emulsion, with emulsified monomer droplets. The method is used to produce polymers with high molecular weight and little viscosity.

Global Emulsion Polymers Market Size

With the growth in automotive market, the demand for automotive paints and coatings is also expected to rise. Hence, the growing use of automotive coatings and paints would contribute the market significantly. Rising concern for the environment and its safety, the government bodies such as across regions including Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are focusing to make the industries more reliant on green products thereby minimizing hazardous influence on environment and surroundings. In order to control the emissions of hazardous chemicals such as styrene, methyl chloride, toluene and acrylonitrile, the regulatory authorities have started the Clean Air Act thereby giving opportunity to water-based emulsion polymer.

Global Emulsion Polymers Market Share

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Paints and Coatings, Paper & Paperboard Coatings, Adhesives and Other Applications. Based on Product, the market is segmented into Acrylics, Styrene-Butadiene Latex, Vinyl Acetate Polymers and Other Products. Among the various product types, Acrylics is predicted to be the segment exhibiting high growth in the coming years and can be attributed to rising demand for the product especially for application in adhesives, super absorbent polymers and sealants market segments. Upsurge in construction projects in emerging regions is expected to fuel the demand further. Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
