Methyl Methacrylate Market, by Application (Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Surface Coating, and Others), by End-use Industry (Building & Construction, Automotive, Electronics, Aerospace, Paints & Coatings, Medical, and Others), and by Region (North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Methyl methacrylate ((MMA)) is an organic compound and a colorless monomer compound. (MMA) is used in the production of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)) and surface coatings. P(MMA) is a transparent thermoplastic used as a shatter-resistant option to glass. P(MMA) is used in the form of sheets to produce mobile phone screens, LCD screens, and monitors, owing to its excellent tensile strength, flexural strength, transparency, polishing, UV tolerance, and scratch resistance properties. Therefore, increasing demand for P(MMA) is expected to boost growth of the methyl methacrylate market over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
Among end-use industry, the building & construction segment is expected to witness significant market share in the global methyl methacrylate market. In 2018, the segment accounted for 30% share in the global methyl methacrylate market, in terms of revenue. Methyl methacrylate is used in building and construction activities as a binder for concrete admixtures, industrial flooring, liquid water proofing compounds, reactive road marking systems, and concrete repair compounds.
Methyl Methacrylate is used in the production of diverse range of consumer products such as TV and electronic screens, automotive plastics, dental and orthodontic products, signage, windows, household acrylic paints, coatings, and adhesives. Therefore, increasing electronics production is expected to boost growth of the market. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) in February 2022., India appliances & consumer electronics stood at US$ 9.84 billion in 2021 is expected to reach US$ 21.18 billion by 2025.
Among regions, Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global methyl methacrylate market, in terms of revenue share, in 2021. This is owing to increasing production of automobiles and high use of (MMA) in making building & construction interior and exterior parts of vehicles. South America is expected to record fastest growth in the market over the forecast period. This is owing to increasing demand for automotive and growth of the housing sector in Argentina and Brazil.
