Based on chemistry, the acrylates segment is estimated to lead the overall acrylic resins market in 2020.
Acrylates are the largest chemistry type which is used in the production of acrylic resins. These chemicals are bifunctional in nature i.e. can be polymerized and used for various other applications. The growing demand for acrylic resins and easy availability of acrylate chemistry are driving the market growth.
Based on solvency, water-based is estimated to be the largest market in the overall acrylic resin market in 2020.
Water-based acrylic resins are effective as their solvent-based but also have a low environmental impact. These resins are used increasingly in the current period owing to its sustainable nature and easy formulation processes, their excellent durability, quick-drying times and emission of low odor. Using solvent-based acrylic resins in confined spaces can be unpleasant or hazardous to the workers due to the evaporation of solvents, this drive use of water-based resins.
Based on applications, paints & coatings segment is estimated to lead the market in 2020.
Acrylics are utilized in a broad range of applications in paints & coatings industry, right from architectural coatings to the industrial coatings. Acrylic resins show good chemical and photochemical resistance. Acrylics have good colors and gloss retention properties and are easy to handle, moderately priced, and exhibit superior performance in a wide variety of applications such as roof coating, wall coating, and others.
