Superabsorbent & Detergent Polymers Production to Drive Acrylic Acid Demand Growth According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd



LONDON – The future projected demand growth on the world acrylic acid market is to be largely driven by two superabsorbent polymers and detergent polymers production – acrylic acid use level has been coming up for more than a decade and today this application contributes for around 30% of the total consumption of the material.

In the wake of the latest crisis period a number of acrylic acid producers faced a decision to put off their production facilities, some of them turned to partial close-down. New projects were postponed in many regions all around the globe. Nevertheless, according to the positive forecasts the global average acrylic acid manufacture expansion will witness relative growth – up to 5% in the years to come.

New market research study “Acrylic Acid (AA): 2011 World Market Outlook And Forecast” delves into a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the global, regional and country markets of acrylic acid.

An in-depth review of the present situation, historical landscape and future projections for the market development is presented in the study. The study unveils factual data on the key market parameters such as acrylic acid production and consumption in the reviewed regions, trade operations, prices dynamics for the material registered recently. Acrylic acid market forecasts through 2016, including market volumes and prices are highlighted.
