Glacial Acrylic Acid Market Size is valued at 2.6 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 3.6 million by the year 2034 at a 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period of 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Glacial acrylic acid (GAA) is a crystalline, odorless liquid with a strong smell. It reacts quickly. CH2=CHCO2H is the chemical formula for it. Propene is oxidized catalytically to generate GAA. Creating infant diapers, feminine grooming, and personal care products primarily uses superabsorbent polymers.
The GAA market is therefore growing as a result of the increase in consumption of polypropylene fibers in hygiene products and personal care products. Several factors are driving the expansion of the global glacial acrylic acid market, including a rise in the production of protective coatings, gelling agents, adhesives & sealants, and extensive usage of GAA as a chemical feedstock. This is due to GAA's ability to waste.
Additionally, the dwindling petroleum reserves, fluctuating propylene prices, and the availability of materials are expected to restrain the market. The market is expected to be constrained during the forecast period by the fluctuation of propylene prices and the low level of awareness and acceptability of GAA in emerging countries.
Furthermore, it is estimated that the growing SAP presence in niche markets, including adult incontinence, water treatment additives, and radiation-treated coatings, would be crucial to the expansion of the acrylic acid market over the projected decade. Moreover, the market is also anticipated to benefit from an increase in the manufacturing of adhesives & sealants, surface coatings, and surfactants in various emerging nations.
The glacial acrylic acid market is segmented based on applications. Based on applications, the market is segmented as nappies, adult and feminine hygiene, detergents, adhesives, coatings and sealants, water treatment and others.
The nappies category will hold a significant share of the global glacial acrylic acid market in 2024. Glacial acrylic acid is used in waterproof polymers in biodegradable newborn diapers. Sectionally, polyacrylates are polymeric polymers because they can hold 100 times more liquid than their weight. The usage of polyurethanes (pads, diapers, and hygiene products) is anticipated to increase due to increased hygiene awareness among all population groups, which could increase acrylic acid use throughout the expected period.
The North American glacial acrylic acid market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue shortly. The demand for adult urinary products is anticipated to rise as the senior population increases in the United States and Canada. This will probably lead to an increase in GAA production shortly. A large newborn population and rising disposable income, which result in more spending on hygiene and cleanliness care, are blamed for the country's need for personal hygiene goods. As a result, the acrylic acid market is projected to grow over the projection period. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to proliferate in the global glacial acrylic acid market. The growing demand for baby diapers in developing nations like South Korea and China has boosted the need for superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). Glacial acrylic acid is also widely utilized in various sectors, such as textile chemicals, sealants, coatings, masonry, water treatment, detergents, leatherette solutions, and adhesives.
