Market Overview
The global ethyl acrylate market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 6.41% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Ethyl acrylate is a significant commercial substance whose characteristics have been thoroughly studied. To reduce exposure to workers and the atmosphere, it is used in closed networks in industrial processes. When the atmosphere is typical, ethyl acrylate is a volatile substance. When the environment is in balance, ethyl acrylate will partition mainly to air (94%), with smaller quantities going to water (5.6%), soil (1%) and sediment (0.1%). One of the main factors driving ethyl acrylate demand is its application in emulsion-based polymers.
Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for ethyl acrylate in surface coating
One of the major application for ethyl acrylate in the world is surface coatings. In order to create different surface coatings, such as acrylic and alkyd resins, which are used to make paints, varnishes and other coatings, ethyl acrylate is utilized as a monomer. Ethyl acrylate is a major component in the creation of these coatings. As a result, there is an increasing demand for them across various end-use industries, including construction, automotive and others. The market for ethyl acrylate in the surface coatings industry is also anticipated to be driven by the growing emphasis on developing eco-friendly and low-VOC coatings.
Health issues associated with ethyl acrylate
The adoption of ethyl acrylate has borne the brunt of controversies regarding health issues associated with its exposure, including headache, convulsions, drowsiness, lethargy, respiratory irritation and gastrointestinal. The risk of cancer is associated with workers’ exposure to ethyl acrylate among workers who are occupationally prone to the chemicals. However, some studies are evolving concerning the essentiality of ethyl acrylate and some positive effects it induces in the target applications. The adoption rate of ethyl acrylate is increasing yet at a steady rate.

Segment Analysis
The global ethyl acrylate market is segmented based on application, end-user and region.
Paints and coating end-user segment dominate the market due to its excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation and chemicals and growing applications
Ethyl acrylate is used as a raw material in producing acrylic resins, which are widely used in paint and coating applications. Acrylic resins are known for their excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation and chemicals. They also have good adhesion, flexibility and durability. The properties make them ideal for various paints and coatings, including water-based, solvent-based and powder coatings. The increasing demand for low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints and coatings drives the ethyl acrylate market. Ethyl acrylate is a key raw material in producing low-VOC paints and coatings, as it is a low-VOC monomer.
Geographical Analysis
The strong presence of major players and consumers in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is also the largest consumer of ethyl acrylate-based products, such as adhesives, sealants and surface coatings. The growing construction, automotive and packaging industries in the region are driving the demand for these products, which in turn is driving the demand for ethyl acrylate. Further, the countries have many manufacturers of ethyl acrylate due to the availability of low-cost raw materials, skilled labor and government support. It has led to a large number of manufacturers in the region, which contributes to the dominance of the Asia-Pacific in the global ethyl acrylate market.
Competitive Landscape
The major global players in the market include BASF SE, DOW Chemical Company, Evonik Industries, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Merck Millipore, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd Polysciences, Inc, Saudi Acrylic Monomer Company Limited and Synthomer.
