Waterborne Acrylic Coatings Market Overview

Waterborne Acrylic Coatings Market is expected to cross USD 61.31 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of approximately 5.77%.

Waterborne Acrylic coatings are environmentally friendly coatings that are used to treat surfaces of different materials whose basic medium of solvent is water. Water-soluble resins are used in the development and application of these coatings. The common water-soluble resins used are alkyds, acrylics, styrene-butadiene copolymers, and others. Due to the release of low-level Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) when water-based resins are used, waterborne coatings are preferred over solvent-borne coatings as they have a comparatively negligible amount of environmental impact. 

Other properties of waterborne acrylic coatings that give them the edge over other coatings are resistance towards abrasion, resistance towards heat, excellent adhesion, low flammability, ability to cover bigger surfaces using less amount solution.Industries like automotive, building, woodworking, construction, and packaging are using a waterborne acrylic coating to a great extent.

The major raw materials involved in the extraction and manufacturing of waterborne coatings are pigments, additives, surfactants, and Synthetic resins. The global waterborne acrylic coatings market research shares detailed analysis of the overall consumption of water-based soluble

acrylic resins

. Rising government initiatives to make use of water-based solvent due to high performance is marketing the growth of the Waterborne Coatings industry.

COVID-19 Analysis

With the ongoing global pandemic, many industries have seen a downward graph owing to the precautionary measures that need to be taken to contain the spread of the virus. With the medicine and threat, unknown people around the world are scared of the COVID-19 virus.
