These regulations promote the use of biobased products and phosphate-free detergents, which are less harmful to human health and the environment. The detergent segment and the dish washing segment are major consumers of acrylic polymers, and the trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable products is driving the demand for bio-based and low VOC (volatile organic compounds) acrylic polymers. REACH and CPR regulations are some of the key drivers for the adoption of environmentally sustainable acrylic polymers in Europe. Overall, the market for acrylic polymers is expected to grow steadily as the demand for sustainable and biobased products continues to rise. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The stringent regulations affecting market growth is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. Acrylic polymers, which include paints and coatings, are widely used in various industries such as healthcare, hospitality, and the building and construction sector. However, these products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that pose risks to both human health and environmental health. The release of VOCs during the drying process of solvent-based coatings can lead to health issues like sick building syndrome and contribute to environmental concerns such as acid rain and global warming. Strict regulations, such as the European Union's REACH and the US's Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPR), are being implemented to limit the emission levels of VOCs. Additionally, there is a growing demand for environmentally sustainable and biobased products in the market. Phosphate-based detergents and other eco-friendly alternatives are gaining popularity in the industrial cleaning segment, including the detergent and dish washing segments. The acrylic polymer market faces challenges due to these regulations and the increasing ecological risk associated with VOCs. However, the market is expected to grow as research and development efforts focus on producing acrylic polymers with lower VOC content or alternative solvents. These developments will help the market maintain its growth trajectory while addressing the concerns of human health and environmental sustainability. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
