Polymer Emulsion Market Scope
The major driving factor for the polymer emulsion is stringent regulations regarding VOC emission. The emulsion is a process of mixing/combination of two solution/liquids with a difference in its densities. Whereas, polymer emulsion is the simple process of emulsion polymerization that has monomer emulsification which is done in the presence of water as well as surfactant such as sodium stearate. Rising awareness and applications of green buildings in the construction industry have been supplementing the overall growth of the market. However, the cost associated with solutions as compared to traditional paints is limiting the market. Moreover, continuously investing in the research and development activities by the key players can create an opportunity for the market in the forecasted year.
According to AMA, the Global Polymer Emulsion market is expected to see growth rate of 7.31% and may see market size of USD45.29 Billion by 2026.
