The global acrylic acid consumption stood at 6.6 million tons in the year 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% over the estimated period of time. Acrylic acid is a bio-compound and is widely used for the preparation of acylate esters as feedstock. Nonetheless, stringent government environmental and human health legislation may be an obstacle to market growth. The industries develop and market their processes to produce petrochemicals acrylic acid. Some acrylic acid is disposed of into the air or is disposed underground. When evaporated, the chance of air pollution is less because they break down with other chemicals. The pollution caused by groundwater was an important issue and has drawn worldwide attention by environmental agencies. The production of bio-acrylic acid resulted from a growing regulatory pressure on enterprises. Major producers are investing in the production of organic product at rates that are competitive with their conventional counterpart. Acrylic esters are witnessing a huge demand from end-use segments such as diapers, paints & coatings, etc.

A gradual decline in prices was caused by large supply and weak demand. Chinese companies have reduced their exports by negative margins. A producer has faced problems in Taiwan. Supply from different roots continued to be vast and sales competitive, leading to price pressure. Demand was lenient on poor competition and economic fundamentals. Some buyers were subject to contract volumes and had no spot cargo requirement. In India, the customers had to replenish themselves, as they had enough stock. Before the Lunar New Year, China had restricted preparation activities. The fourth quarter of 2019 saw the proliferation of US stocks of acrylic acid. In U.S., Acrylic acid supplies used for water, coating and adhesives processing, as well as super absorbing polymers (SAP) generally exceeded demand for much of the fourth quarter of 2019.
Derivative Segment
On the basis of Derivative segment, the market is categorized into Acrylic esters, Acrylic polymers, and others. Acrylic polymers, dominates the global Acrylic Acid market with a share of over 50% in 2019 and is anticipated to dominate the industry for the forecast period 2020-2025. Typical applications of Acrylic esters include into Diapers, Surface Coatings Industry, Adhesives & Sealants Industry, Water treatment Industry, Textile Industry, Surfactants Industry. Acrylates are used in building coatings. This has led to increased competition on the market for acrylate esters in building.
Application Segment
On the Applications, the market is bifurcated into Diapers, Surface Coatings Industry, Adhesives & Sealants Industry, Water treatment Industry, Textile Industry, Surfactants Industry. Diapers dominated the global Acrylic Acid Application market and is anticipated to show similar trend over the forecast period.
Diapers accounted for a major market revenue share in the year 2019 and is projected to show similar trend over the forecast period. It is also fastest growing segment across the application segment. Personal hygiene amongst babies and female is the key factor driving the demand of superabsorbent polymers which are extensively used in diapers. Surface paints and coatings is another lucrative segment driving the demand of acrylic acid across the globe. Automotive and construction coating are the key applications of surface coating however, construction segment dominated the end use of acrylic acid in terms of surface coating.
