Polymethyl Methacrylate Market To Grow Enormously with Size Worth $8.16 Billion By 2025 |Grand View Research, Inc.
The global polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) market
size is anticipated to reach USD 8.16
billion by 2025 registering a CAGR
of 8.4%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Escalating
demand for Light-Emitting Diode (LED) flat screens in Asia Pacific is projected
to propel the market growth over the coming years. The market has shifted its
focus toward developing bio-based alternatives to combat raw material price
issues. Eco-friendly PMMA is now being developed with the introduction of
bio-based raw materials, such as MMA from renewable organic feedstock. This, in
turn, is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for new market
entrants.
Extruded sheets are expected to remain the dominant product
segment. These sheets have a better tolerance on thickness, typically +/-10%,
as compared to cast acrylic sheets. The product is also expected to witness
growth on account of its high transparency that makes it ideal for signs and
displays in the advertising sector. North America and Europe are characterized by
the presence of leading resin manufacturers and technological capabilities of
further processing these resins for end uses. Asia Pacific is projected to
register the highest CAGR of 9.1% from 2019 to 2025 on account of increasing
investments in renewable energy infrastructure and commercial projects
undertaken in China, India, and Japan.
Key companies in this
market include Evonik Industries, Mitsubishi Rayon Group, Sumitomo Chemical
Company Ltd., The Dow Chemical Company, Chi Mei Corporation, Kuraray Group,
Asahi Kasei Corporation, LG MMA Corp., Makevale Group, Shanghai Jing-Qi Polymer
Science Co. and, Polycasa N.V. Major participants have developed novel
manufacturing processes to gain a competitive advantage.

The global polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) market size was
valued at USD 4.72 billion in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.4%
from 2019 to 2025. Rapid digitalization has driven the need for attractive
advertising options in the retail industry, leading to increased PMMA demand in
signs and displays, lighting, and similar applications. The product is utilized
across several industries owing to its inherent advantageous characteristics
including high thermal and chemical resistance, durability, low smoke emission,
and excellent abrasion resistance.
Manufacturers are utilizing the product as a shatterproof
alternative to glass in illuminated signs, aircraft canopies and shatterproof
of windows. It is almost 40% lighter than glass and provides better rigidity,
toughness, and transparency. The product also emits negligible amounts of smoke
while processing, conforming to stringent manufacturing and emission standards.
Rapidly increasing demand for
sustainable polymers backed by favorable government regulations has led to the
emergence of bio-based raw materials. It represents an effective alternative to
petroleum derivatives and reduces the energy consumption up to 30% during
industrial work. Increasing investments in the development of such renewable
products is also paving new market avenues.

Release of this report:
Multiple technologies including emulsion polymerization,
suspension polymerization, and bulk polymerization are deployed in
manufacturing. The industry has witnessed several innovative technologies in
recent years and major companies have been engaged in extensive R&D to
develop innovative products that meet ever-changing consumer needs.
Extruded sheets is the
dominant product segment. It occupied over 51.39% of the global volume share in
2018 owing to robust demand for high-performance sheets in various industrial
sectors. Excellent thickness tolerance of these sheets make them ideal for
applications where complex shapes are required. Additionally, extruded sheets
also provide cost-efficiency since they are produced using economical
techniques.
Increasing usage of
acrylic beads as a texturing agent for thermoplastics or coatings is likely to
prove conducive to future growth. The segment is expected to grow at the
fastest CAGR of 9.2% from 2019 to 2025. These beads are also an ideal
ingredient as binders in curable formulations, such as glues, resins, and
composites. Increasing demand for aquariums and other structural panels is
generating lucrative opportunities for pellets and cast acrylics.
