Acrylic Acid Market, By Derivatives (Methyl Acrylate, Butyl Acrylate, Ethyl Acrylate, 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate, Glacial Acrylic Acid, Super Absorbent Polymers, and Others), By Applications (Paints and Coatings, Adhesives and Sealants, Surfactants, Sanitary P

The global acrylic acid market is estimated to be valued at USD 12.10 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% from 2025 to 2032. Acrylic acid is an organic compound that is widely used in the production of polymers and acrylate esters that have high commercial value. The increasing demand for water-based paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, and personal care products has been driving the demand for acrylic acid in recent years. Additionally, the growing use of superabsorbent polymers in baby diapers and adult incontinence products is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period

Market Dynamics:

The global acrylic acid market is being driven by rising demand from the water-based paints and coatings industry. Acrylic acid is used in the production of polymers that are employed as binders in water-based paints and coatings. These coatings offer benefits, such as zero volatile organic compound emissions, low odor, and rapid drying, which has resulted in their growing preference over solvent-based paints. However, fluctuating crude oil prices remain a key challenge for market players as acrylic acid is derived from propylene, which is obtained from petroleum refining. Opportunities lie in the expanding construction and automotive industries in developing nations. Rapid urbanization and growing investments in infrastructure development are fueling the demand for paints and coatings used in construction activities.
