Report Code: CMR 1408 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Acrylic Coatings Market Overview

Acrylic coatings market size is forecast to reach US$49.2 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2021-2026. Acrylic coatings are well known as organic coatings that are widely preferred in both architectural and industrial applications. These coatings are manufactured from acrylic and methacrylic polymers. Acrylic coatings find their application in many end-use industries due to their super adhesion to non-porous surfaces. The coatings also offer some excellent properties including anti-corrosion, superior hardness, high finishing, and high alkali resistance. Acrylates have found their application in the manufacturing of copolymers which are used for coatings & paints, sealants, adhesives, and others. The growth in the industrial and manufacturing sector is one of the major factors driving the market growth for acrylic coatings. The growing demand from end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, among others is supporting the market growth throughout the forecast period. The growing adoption of environmentally friendly coatings and organic coatings is propelling the market growth. However, the fluctuating raw material prices and environmental regulations are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting different industries; one of the few industries that were largely hit to some extent was the chemical industry. Due to the Covid-19, the construction and automotive industry are impacted very badly which further impacted the acrylic coating industry. Lack of supply chain, low demand, and lack of workforce are the major factors that negatively impacted the market during a covid-19 pandemic. Delay in construction activities across the globe and economic crises are also challenging the market growth.

Acrylic Coatings Market Segment Analysis - By Technology

Based on the technology, the market is categorized into waterborne, solvent-borne, powder coatings, UV cured coatings, radiation cured coatings, and others. The waterborne segment accounted for more than 30% of the market share in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Waterborne coatings have a low impact on the environment and effective compared to other technologies. Waterborne is one of the commonly used technology among end-users due to its sustainable nature and excellent durability. The composition includes 80% of water and 20% of acrylic solvents. The high water content makes waterborne technology an environmental friend. Waterborne coatings meet the US and European regulations in terms of volatile organic compound emissions (VOC). The solvent-borne technology is expected to be the second dominating segment in the global market. Solvent-borne technology offers high-performance attributes to architectural and industrial applications.

Acrylic Coatings Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry

Based on the end-use industry, the market is segmented into building & construction, general industry, automotive, furniture, marine, aerospace & defense, oil & gas, and others. The building & construction segment accounted for more than 25% of the market share in 2020 and is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period. The rapid growth in construction activities in emerging economies is driving the market growth. Acrylic-based coatings are commonly used in the construction industry due to their high resistance to light, and weather. Generally, acrylic coatings include paints and floor polishes. Growing preference for modern paints & coatings among builders is boosting the market growth. The increasing house renovation activities in both developing and developed nations also positively impacting the market during the forecast period. According to the data published by the U.S. Commerce Department, the U.S. construction spending is increased by 0.9 percent to US$1.4 trillion in 2020. The automotive segment also holds a significant share in the global market owing to increasing production and sales of passenger cars globally.
