ACRYLATE COPOLYMER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global acrylate copolymer market size was USD 0.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.26 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 3.70% during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific is dominating the acrylate copolymer market share in 2025.

Acrylate polymer, also known as acrylic elastomers or polyacrylate, is an acrylonitrile-derived polymer, which is an unsaturated nitrile. It contains a minimum of one monomer, which helps form the copolymer. It is a common term used for the copolymers of two or more monomers. These monomers consist of methacrylic acid, simple esters, or acrylic acid. Some copolymers of acrylic acid and other monomers are copolymers of Ammonium VA/Acrylates, copolymers of Sodium Acrylates, copolymers of Ethylene/Calcium Acrylate, and others. It is used in the cosmetic and personal care industry due to its various features. 

Acrylate copolymer is a copolymer of the carboxylate acrylic group, which has a high molecular weight. It is anionic, and thus, its compatibility is evaluated when formulated with any cationic ingredients. Moreover, the acrylate copolymer has various benefits associated with it, such as increased resistance to water, is excellent if forming a film, and adding water resistance to creams such as mascara, sunscreen, and others. The acrylate copolymer is also used in the cosmetic industry in nail extensions for building artificial nails, fixing hair, forming films, and others. It is used in cosmetic products due to its Inherent moisture property. 

COVID-19 IMPACT

Value Chain Disruption Hampered Market Growth

Pandemic had a significant impact on every industry. The acrylate copolymer market situation significantly changed, and the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic has hurt its expansion.
