Polymer Emulsion Market Applications, History by Key Manufacturers and Trends Forecast to 2022

The Global Polymer Emulsion Market volume was estimated to be around 15000 kilo tons in 2015. The automotive coating has led has significantly contributed to the growing demand of adhesives which in turn has resulted in propelling the growth of polymer emulsion. Government regulations have forced manufacturing companies to undertake research and development projects for developing safe products. Synthetic agents are being replaced by water based polymers owing to their superior environment benefits. Regulatory agencies including REACH and EPA guide the manufacturing organizations regarding the best practices. They have also set standards in accordance with the clean air act associated with the emission of harmful chemicals which include styrene, toluene, methyl chloride and acrylonitrile.



Global polymer emulsion market demand is expected to grow at a steady rate mainly on account of strong demand from paints and coating industry. Increasing demand from end use industries is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Paints, coating, paper, paperboards and adhesives are the key products where polymer emulsion is used. Paint and coatings hold the majority share owing to the high demand of acrylics. Paint and coating are vastly used in construction. Recent trends have shown that the consumption of paints and coating in emerging economies such as India and China has increased considerably owing to infrastructure development initiatives.

The major raw material used in the production process are natural gas and crude oil. Therefore, polymer industries are dependent on the oil and gas industry. Any fluctuation in the raw material prices affects the profitability and expenses of manufacturing. The increase in raw material prices fluctuates the demand of final end product. Such volatile raw material price is a major challenge for the polymer emulsion market. Consumers have been shifting towards bio based products in recent years on account of stringent regulations and environmental concerns. Emerging economies including Brazil, China and India are expected to provide great opportunities over the forecast period. New product development through research and innovation programs offer bright prospects for the industry growth in near future.
