Acrylic Acid Market Analysis
The global acrylic acid market size reached US$ 14.3 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 21.6 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.70% during 2023-2032.
- Acrylic acid behaves as a crucial building block in the creation of a wide array of industrial and consumer items. The increasing employment of acrylic acid in the production of acrylic esters and resins, which are important components in coatings and adhesives, is impelling the growth of the market. Coatings and adhesives are widely adopted in the automotive sector to enhance the overall appearance of vehicles. According to International Energy Agency (IEA) electric car market growth exceeded 10 million in 2023 and will continue strongly through 2023.
- The rising integration of acrylic acid for the manufacturing of detergent intermediate is propelling the market growth. With the increasing hygiene consciousness among the masses, the demand for detergents and cleaning solutions is growing. People are becoming aware about the harmful impacts of germs on their health. As a result, they are investing in various effective detergents to clean their fabrics. On the basis of the global liquid detergent market report presented by IMARC Group, the market size is expected to grow US$ 54.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during 2024-2032.
- Moreover, the rising awareness about the beneficial aspect of maintaining proper water treatment processes is driving the demand for effective water treatment chemicals. Acrylic acid polymers like polyacrylic acid are often used to manufacture a wide range of water treatment chemicals as it has an excellent dispersing effect on calcium phosphonate and iron oxide in water bodies. Based on the information provided by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), globally, over 3 billion people are at risk of disease as the water condition of their rivers, lakes, and groundwater is not known due to a lack of data. This is further encouraging governments to deploy effective water treatment methods and provide clean water to the citizens.
