Polymer Binder Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing use of polymer binders in coating formulation is notably driving the polymer binder market growth, although factors such as an increase in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the polymer binder industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Polymer Binder Market Driver
The increasing use of polymer binders in coating formulation is one of the major drivers impacting polymer binder market growth. Polymer binders are used in the formulation of coatings that hold pigments together for adhesion, stability, and chemical resistance. These binders improve the performance and durability of coatings such as waterborne and solvent-borne coatings. The demand for polymer binders by end-user industries, such as the construction and automobile industries, is increasing as these binders are widely used in the formulation of coatings. Architectural paints and coatings possess strong reflectivity, which helps in lowering temperatures inside buildings and reducing the energy consumption of air conditioners. These coatings can be applied on a wide range of roofing substrates, including metal, plastic, and concrete. They can be applied easily by using brushes, sprays, and rollers. China and India are among the key developing countries in APAC that are witnessing rapid growth and infrastructure development. Thus, massive residential and infrastructural development in APAC is expected to drive the consumption of coatings and have a positive impact on the global polymer binder market in the coming years.
Key Polymer Binder Market Trend
An increase in R&D activities is one of the major trends impacting polymer binder market growth. Major vendors, such as Wacker Chemie, BASF, and Trinseo, focus on product development and research to increase their footprint in the global polymer binder market. In March 2019, Wacker Chemie introduced VINNECO, a new bio-based product line to produce polymer binders at the 2019 European Coatings Show at Nuremberg, Germany. This new polymeric binder is based on renewable raw materials such as potato starch and bio-based acetic acid. The new polymer binder dispersions are suitable for the formulation of plasters and interior paints. In May 2019, Trinseo introduced its new latex binder technologies at Techtextil, a famous international trade fair for nonwoven and technical textiles, held in Frankfurt, Germany. The new binder technology is a formaldehyde-free solution and addresses the evolving requirements of the technical textile industry for various applications such as medical and automobile. Product development and innovations in the global polymer binder market are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Polymer Binder Market Challenge
An increase in raw material prices is one of the major challenges influencing polymer binder market growth. Acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, epoxy, and latex are some of the major raw materials used in the production of polymer binders. An increase in the price of the abovementioned raw materials has increased production costs for polymer binder manufacturers. BASF increased the prices of polymer dispersions in MEA to almost $91 per metric ton and acrylic hotmelts by $160 per metric ton. An increase in raw material prices and freight costs drive the cost of dispersions. In October 2021, due to continuously rising energy, raw material, and logistics costs, WACKER intended to adjust its prices for polymer dispersions, dispersible polymer powders, and resins. The price increase of up to 20% will apply to all WACKER POLYMERS products, such as polymer binders shipped as of November 1, 2021. The temporary surcharge for dispersible polymer powders in Europe is also negatively affected and will increase to $600 per metric ton during the forecast period.
