Acrylic Resin Market Analysis

The Acrylic Resin Market size is estimated at 6.60 Million tons in 2024, and is expected to reach 8.25 Million tons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic affected several industries negatively. The lockdown in most regions caused disruptions in industrial as well as construction activities, and restrictions in freight transportation disturbed the supply chain. However, the conditions started recovering in 2021, restoring the market's growth trajectory.

  • Growing construction projects in major economies in Asia-Pacific, and increasing usage in automotive applications are major factors driving the growth of the market studied.
  • However, the environmental and health hazards associated with acrylic are likely to restrain the growth of the studied market.
  • Nevertheless, research and development of bio-based resin will likely create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market.
  • Asia-Pacific represents the largest market over the forecast period due to the increasing number of construction projects and infrastructure development.

Acrylic Resin Industry Segmentation

Acrylic resin is a group of thermoplastic materials derived from acrylic acid. Acrylic resins are made from alkyl acrylates and methacrylates as homo and co-polymers and are sometimes combined with other thermoplastic monomers. Their primary application lies in paints and coatings as primary binders and as adhesives and sealants across major end-user industries like construction, automotive, electrical, and electronics, to name a few.

The Acrylic Resin Market is segmented by product type, application, end-user industry, and geography. By product type, the market is segmented into acrylates, methacrylates, and hybrid. By the application, the market is segmented into adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, and other applications (pigment dispersion and elastomers). By end-user industry, the market is segmented into building and construction, automotive, plastics, textile and fibers, paper and paperboard, electrical and electronics, and other end-user industries (consumer goods and packaging). 

The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the Acrylic Resin Market in 28 countries across five regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts are done on the basis of volume (tons).
