The Rise of Bio-Acrylic Acid: Market Insights, Applications, Production and Growth

Bio-acrylic acid is a renewable and sustainable alternative to acrylic acid derived from petroleum. It is made from bio-based resources such as plant sugars or other biomass sources. Acrylic acid is a significant chemical used in the manufacture of a wide range of products, including coatings, adhesives, diapers, and other personal care items. Bio-acrylic acid is regarded as an environmentally beneficial alternative to conventional acrylic acid since it decreases reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to a lower overall carbon footprint.

The global Bio-acrylic acid Market size was estimated to be USD 0.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 0.9 billion in 2027, at a CAGR of 15.6%.

The main forces behind the growth of the Bio-acrylic acid market are a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional acrylic acid, as it reduces the dependence on non-renewable resources and can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional acrylic acid production.

High production cost is one of the major restraints for the bio-acrylic acid market. The economy of the Asia Pacific countries such as China and India is growing rapidly. South Asian countries such as Indonesia, Taiwan, and South Korea are also witnessing fast growth. The primary driver behind their growth is the increasing population which is the major opportunity in the region. The biggest difficulty or challenge is Traditional acrylic acid, also known as petroleum-based acrylic acid, is a well-established product in the market and is widely used in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, superabsorbent polymers, and plastics. As a result, bio-acrylic acid faces significant competition from traditional acrylic acid.

By Type, the Butyl Acrylate segment accounted for the largest share of the Bio-Acrylic Acid Market in 2022.

The Bio-acrylic acid market is segmented based on type into methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, elastomers, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and superabsorbent polymers. Butyl acrylate is a key monomer used in the production of various polymers, including poly butyl acrylate, which is used in adhesives, coatings, and textiles. The use of bio-based feedstocks, such as sugars, glycerol, or lignocellulosic biomass, to produce bio-acrylic acid and butyl acrylate offers several advantages over traditional, petroleum-based chemicals.

By Application, the sanitary products segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The Bio-acrylic acid market is segmented based on application into Paints and coatings, surfactants, adhesives and sealants, textiles, sanitary products, and other applications. The use of bio-acrylic acid in the production of sanitary products aligns with the growing trend towards sustainability and eco-friendliness in the market. By utilizing bio-based raw materials, manufacturers can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more circular and sustainable economy. The use of bio-based SAPs also helps to meet the increasing demand from consumers for eco-friendly and sustainable hygiene products.
