Emulsion Polymer Market: Overview

Emulsion Polymers are dispersions made from polymeric particles ranging in size from 100 to 1000 nanometers in an aqueous dispersion medium. They have a wide range of chemistries which can be used in a variety of coating formulations to develop polymers that are lower in costs, produced lower emissions, have longer shelf life, zero VOC, have freeze-thaw durability, and are potentially sustainable. Because of these advantages, emulsion polymers are rapidly being used in paints and coatings to meet rising demands in a variety of industries and applications.

The growing demand for paints and coatings in the building and construction and automotives industries coupled with the growing environmental concerns about the solvent-borne polymers has fueled demand for emulsion polymers. The big players are now adopting the use of technology to innovate in emulsion polymer such as water and bio based polymer emulsions. These advancements provide opportunities of growth in developed regions.

Emulsion Polymer Market: Growth Factors

The growing market for paints and coatings in the building and construction, as well as the automotive industries in developing countries, has increased the need for large-scale emulsion polymers to enhance paint quality. Water-borne polymers made from emulsion polymers have also taken their place as environmental issues about solvent-borne polymers have increased.

Growing environmental concerns, as well as increased rivalry among market participants, have prompted manufacturers to continually make technological advancements and expand their usage of products that are green or bio-based. As a result, demand for products with lower VOC that employ renewable materials as a feedstock is growing, which in turn is driving demand for bio-based emulsion polymers.

Emulsion Polymer Market: Segmentation Preview

This is attributable to the fact that it offers a number of characteristics, including quick drying and water resistance. Acrylic's ability to dry paints quickly while maintaining excellent strength, adherence and consistency has been a driving force driving growth of this segment in the paints and coatings market. Because of its characteristics, that include minimal VOC emissions and good durability, it is utilized in a range of applications.

It is also favored in a range of end-use applications due to its versatility. Flexible, ionic, rigid, nonionic, hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers are all made with acrylics. They are transparent by nature, have a higher resistance to breaking, have better adherence to non-porous surfaces, and have good stability, gloss, and flow.

This is attributable to the increased demand from the construction and automotive industries for better quality paints and coatings. Emulsion polymers are commonly used in paints and coatings since the processing process for polymer emulsion paints and coatings has a lower carbon footprint. The development of low VOC paints and coatings has been aided by the high VOC content in the existing solvent-based materials coupled with the enforcement of government legislation aimed at reducing air pollution. The market for emulsion polymers in paints for building activities has changed due to rising GDPs in developed countries and changing customer lifestyles.
