The global polymer emulsion market size is estimated at USD 25.2 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 38.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 8.6%, between 2020 and 2025. Monomers dissolved in water are known as polymer emulsions. They are formed by a chain reaction known as emulsion polymerization. They are also known as waterborne polymers due to their water content. Polymer emulsions are used increasingly as substitutes for solvent-based polymers. Polymer emulsions have high molecular weight and are considered eco-friendly as they have low VOCs. The key applications of polymer emulsion are paints & coatings, paper & paperboard, adhesives & sealants, and others.
APAC is the largest and fastest-growing market for polymer emulsion. The region is witnessing growth in the polymer emulsion market because of the rapid expansion of building & construction, consumer durables, and transportation sectors. The manufacturers are attracted to the region as skilled labor required for the operation of manufacturing units is available at lower wages. The presence of major polymer emulsion manufacturers and stringent government regulation related to VOC emission are major factors supporting the growth of polymer emulsion in the region.
