Global Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) accounted for a market revenue of USD 6 billion in the year 2019 and is projected to further grow at a CAGR of more than 6% over the forecast period. The Methacrylate Polymethyl is a synthetic resin produced by the Methyl Methacrylate polymerisation.
The Polymethyl Methacrylate Market is expected to reach USD 8.6 billion during the forecast period at a 5.75% CAGR.
This is a kind of clear, rigid and translucent plastic widely used to replace shatterproof glass. This material has demonstrated its cost-effectiveness in polycarbonates, where tensile strength, durability, polishing and UV resistance are more critical than impact strength and chemical heat and resistance. It contains no harmful bisphenol A and is the favoured material over poly-carbonate. The moderate properties, the ease of handling & shipping, as well as the low costs of this resin are preferred over others too.
This material is durable, strong and light in weight. It's stronger than both polystyrene and glass. In contrast with other plastics, PMMA has superior environmental resilience. Strong chemical and thermal resistance. Emits low smoke. Furthermore, Great resistance to abrasion and strong resistance and stamina.
