Acrylic Acid Market Overview


Acrylic Acid Size was valued at USD 11.30 billion in 2023. The Acrylic Acid industry is projected to grow from USD 11.76 Billion in 2024 to USD 15.96 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.89% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Acrylic acid is an organic liquid that is colorless and has a strong odor. It is commonly used as a monomer in the synthesis of a wide range of polymer compounds. This liquid is extremely reactive, volatile, and flammable. One of the most important derivatives of acrylic acids is acrylic esters. It is used in many industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, adhesives, papermaking, textiles, rubber, plastics, cement, detergents, and water treatment.
Acrylic Acid Market Overview


The global acrylic acid market is being propelled by rising demand for polymers, paints and coatings, and personal care products. The growing demand for superabsorbent polymers in the personal care industry, expansion of the construction industry, and rising demand for water-based adhesives are some of the major factors driving growth in this market. Surging demand for acrylic acid from emerging economies such as India and China is also fueling the global acrylic acid market's expansion.


Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, announced in 2023 that it has reached an agreement with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to acquire the rights to license and market ester grade acrylic acid technology as well as light and heavy acrylates process technology. The expansion broadens Lummus' portfolio of propylene production and derivative products, giving clients more alternatives for upstream and downstream operations.


Nippon Shokubai, a Japanese company, has opened its new acrylic acid (AA) factory in Indonesia and signed an initial agreement with local producer Chandra Asri Petrochemical to investigate green chemical business potential. The new 100,000 tonne/year AA facility in Cilegon, Banten province, operated by its subsidiary Nippon Shokubai Indonesia, increases its overall AA capacity in the southeast Asian country to 240,000 tonnes/year.

COVID-19 Analysis


The current disease outbreak has interrupted the supply chains in critical regions persuaded by the deterioration in demand owing to vagueness in the global capital markets. The acrylic acid industry is reeling from the hard hit by the COVID-19 outbreak on many fronts, such as lower demand and productivity, operational & supply chain disruptions, possibly dwindling credit markets, and their workforce's condition. The companies should expect that widening outbreaks of COVID-19 may affect workers in the market, which may need to be considered before outsourcing some corporate functions. Companies in regions struck severely by the pandemic may face trials in concluding financial statements with processes halted. With the economic disruption showing indeterminate severity, some companies may be realizing the prospect of activating events for long-lived asset damages and escalating concerns over the restructuring actions, recoverability of receivables, and liquidity problems.
