Arcylic Acid Market to reach heights

Acrylic Acids: They make paints weather proof; they make adhesives waterproof; they strengthen plastic so that it can be used for constructing bridges!

Depending on the derivative, acrylic acids have numerous applications in diverse fields. From a baby’s diapers to a battle tank’s gun turret, they tend to be useful in practically every situation.

So what is this super substance?

Acrylic acid is basically a pungent-smelling organic compound, traditionally a by-product of petrochemicals.  Rising awareness about the hazards of fossil fuels and their adverse effects on the natural environment has resulted in the development of  techniques, which produce bio-acrylic acid from eco-friendly and renewable resources such as glycerol and sugar. Thanks to its diverse applications, the demand for acrylic acids is substantial, and the global consumption is projected to hit 8169 kilo tons by 2020. At $11,006.6 million in 2013, the Acrylic Acid market is projected to reach a whopping $18,824.0 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (from 2014 to 2020).
