Acrylic acid and its derivatives is a broad category of chemicals that finds extensive applications in the manufacture of a wide range of compounds that are used in surface coatings and adhesives and sealants, construction, automotive, personal care products and cosmetics, and many other industries.Acrylic ester is the most widely consumed derivative of acrylic acid, accounting for 51.98% of the market in 2015. This compound is used as a water-based coating and finds extensive applications in most end-user industries.Asia-Pacific (APAC) was the largest market for acrylic acid and its derivatives in 2015, accounting for 33.02% of the market. The market in the region will grow considerably over the forecast period to reach 36.37% in 2020. The growth can be attributed to factors such as industrialization, rising disposable incomes, and population growth.Acrylic hybrids, such as alkyd-acrylic hybrid and epoxy-acrylic hybrid, have been gaining prominence in recent years as they offer superior characteristics over conventional acrylates.
