Increased the demand for water-based paints & coatings drive the growth of polymer emulsions


The global polymer emulsion market size is projected to grow from an estimated value of USD 25.2 billion in 2020 to USD 38.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. The growth of the market is driven mainly by the increasing demand from growing end-use industries in emerging markets and stringent regulations regarding VOC emission.



The paints & coatings segment is the largest consumer of polymer emulsion. The growth of the market is attributed to the high demand in industries, such as construction and automotive. Polymer emulsion is used widely in paints & coatings as its manufacturing process has a lower carbon footprint. The high VOC content of solvent-based products and the implementation of government regulations regarding air pollution control has stimulated the development of low VOC paints & coatings. This increased the demand for water-based paints & coatings, which in turn, drive the growth of polymer emulsions in the paints & coatings segment.


There is an increasing demand for polymer emulsion from various end-use industries such as paper, construction, textile, transportation, consumer durables, and others due to factors such as rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, and growing disposable income. The use of polymer emulsion is rapidly increasing in these end-use industries for applications such as paints & coatings, 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 are 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.


Key Market Players


DIC Corporation (Japan), Dow Chemical Company (US), BASF SE (Germany), Arkema Group (France), Celanese Corporation (US), Trinseo (US), The Lubrizol Corporation (US), Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), Synthomer Plc (UK), and Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan) are the major players in the polymer emulsion market.


These companies have adopted several growth strategies to strengthen their position in the market. Expansion, new product development, merger & acquisition, and collaboration are the key growth strategies adopted by these players to enhance their product offering & regional presence to meet the growing demand for the polymer emulsion market from emerging economies.
