World Emulsion Polymers

Gains in demand will be driven by accelerating construction and industrial activity, and by the ongoing displacement of solventborne coatings and adhesives with water-based types.

World demand to rise 4.6% annually through 2018

Global demand for emulsion polymers is forecast to advance 4.6 percent per year to 12.6 million metric tons in 2018, driven by accelerating growth in construction spending, manufacturing output, and paper and paperboard production. In particular, rebounding construction activity in North America and Western Europe -- both intensive regional consumers of emulsions -- will propel market advances. In addition, the ongoing displacement of solventborne coatings and adhesives with water-based types -- which are manufactured using emulsion polymers -- is expected to continue in virtually all parts of the world.

Asia/Pacific region to remain largest market

The Asia/Pacific region will remain the largest regional consumer of emulsion polymers, bolstered by growth in the massive Chinese market. Meanwhile, India and Malaysia are forecast to see the fastest annual gains of any major market through 2018. In India, double-digit annual growth in the paint and coatings market will underpin advances, spurred by expanding use of water-based packaging and industrial coatings, as well as the increasing penetration of latex paint in rural markets as per capita incomes rise. Demand in Malaysia will be boosted by robust growth in the country’s huge export-oriented latex gloves industry, as well as by the increased substitution of nitrile gloves for natural latex types worldwide.

Paint and coatings to be fastest growing market

Of the major markets for emulsions, the paint and coatings segment is projected to achieve the most rapid annual growth through 2018, climbing 5.8 percent per year. Ongoing concerns about the health and environmental hazards posed by solvent-based coatings will continue to drive the use of waterborne technologies. In addition, improvements in the performance characteristics of latex paint are expected to increase its use in industrial and maintenance coating applications.

The general purpose adhesives market is expected to grow at an average pace, rising 4.5 percent per year through 2018. Expanding packaging industries and construction spending -- particularly in the Asia/Pacific and Africa/Mideast regions -- coupled with the growing adoption of waterborne technologies will boost consumption growth. However, suppliers of emulsion polymers will continue to face competition from producers of other low VOC adhesive technologies such as hot melts. Below average annual advances are projected for the global paper and paperboard coatings market for emulsion polymers, largely due to highly mature coated paper industries in North America and Western Europe.

Study coverage
