The Specialty Methacrylate Market Size is valued at USD 210.50 Mn in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 314.67 Mn by the year 2031 at a 4.7% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Increased urbanization and affluent lifestyles have helped the rise of the worldwide automotive sector, where methacrylate monomer-based acrylic sheets are widely utilized in electronic consoles, tail-lights, and other applications. Specialty methacrylates are a group of chemical compounds that are derivatives of methacrylic acid. These compounds are commonly used in various industrial applications due to their unique properties. Specialty methacrylates are characterized by the presence of the methacrylate functional group, which consists of a double bond among two carbon atoms and a carbonyl group.
Furthermore, rapid urbanization and population growth have fueled the growth of the architecture and construction sectors in both developed and developing economies, such as the United States, China, and India, where methacrylate monomers are widely used as a binder for concrete admixtures, reactive road making, industrial flooring, and liquid waterproofing applications. This is projected to increase demand for methacrylate monomers in the expanding building and construction sector. However, the health risks connected with using methacrylate monomers could stymie market expansion throughout the projection period.
