/EIN News/ -- NEWARK, Del, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global polymer emulsion market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 28,506.7 million in 2025 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2035. Driven by increasing demand in industries such as paints and coatings, adhesives, and textiles, the market is anticipated to reach USD 51,534.9 million by the end of the forecast period. Factors such as the growing preference for water-based emulsions due to environmental concerns, stringent regulations on VOC emissions, and advancements in polymerization technology are fueling market growth.

Polymer emulsion is a type of water-based dispersion where polymer particles are suspended in water. It is produced through emulsion polymerization, where monomers such as acrylics, styrene-butadiene, and vinyl acetate are polymerized in the presence of surfactants and water. Polymer emulsions are widely used in paints, coatings, adhesives, textiles, and construction materials due to their low VOC emissions, eco-friendliness, excellent film-forming properties, and durability. They are increasingly replacing solvent-based polymers in various applications due to strict environmental regulations and the demand for sustainable products.

Market Dynamics

A Rise in the Use of Polymer Emulsion with Bio-Based Supplements

It is projected that emulsions made up of bio-based polymers and water will offer tremendous development prospects. Over the forecast period, rising consumer awareness of green construction is expected to fuel demand globally.

The development of paints and coatings with low VOC content or no VOCs is likely to be supported by the movement in consumer preference toward the use of environmentally friendly paints and coatings and the favourable regulatory environment.

High molecular weight polymers with negligible viscosity are created using the emulsion polymerization process. However, polymers can also be customised based on how they will be used.

Increasing Usage of Polymer Emulsion in the Automotive Industry

According to FMI Analysis automotive industry is expected to boost the demand for polymer emulsions as it is used in LASD coatings and can be tailored for flexibility, adhesion, and filler content. Another excellent feature for manufacturers is that they attach to metal components without difficulty. Utilizing polymer emulsions has additional benefits, such as less expensive application and improved consistency and repeatability of placement.

Styrene-butadiene polymer emulsions are used to formulate these coatings. This is due to its ability to accommodate high filler loadings, compatibility with anti-corrosion pigments, and its range of strength and flexibility to meet the demands of harsh operating environments. With all these above-mentioned facts it is expected that growth in the automotive industry drives the demand for polymer emulsion.
