India Butyl Acrylate Market is flourishing due to the growing demand for paints & coatings and adhesives & sealants from thriving construction industry driven rising disposable income.
Report Ocean, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the India Butyl Acrylate Market size by value at USD 432.99 million in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the India Butyl Acrylate Market size to expand at a CAGR of 7.85% reaching a value of USD 534.03 million by 2030. The Butyl Acrylate market in India is propelled by the increasing application as a solvent in the paints and coatings, as well as adhesive and sealants sectors, predominantly within the expanding construction and automotive industries. India has witnessed a rising trend in residential and commercial development in recent years, driven by increasing investments and evolving lifestyles. Also, butyl acrylate plays a crucial role as an ingredient in pressure-sensitive adhesives, widely employed by the textile and construction sectors. Its presence in PVC modifiers and molding or extrusion additives further enhances its application in the plastics sector. With the upswing in construction activities and infrastructure development, there is an anticipated surge in demand for commodities like paints & coatings and plastics, consequently boosting the overall demand for butyl acrylate over the forecast period.
By volume, Report Ocean estimated the India Butyl Acrylate Market size at 261.66 thousand tons in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the India Butyl Acrylate Market size by volume is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.01% reaching the volume of 301.09 thousand tons by 2030. The increasing use of butyl acrylate in the production of thermoplastic ethylene acrylate copolymers (EAC), containing up to 35% butyl acrylate, stands out as pivotal factor contributing to market expansion. The combination of butyl acrylate with other monomers, such as vinyl acetate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, styrene, and other acrylate ester monomers, opens up possibilities for diverse copolymer compositions.
Opportunity - Expanding automotive industry
The expanding automotive industry in India is anticipated to drive the need for butyl acrylate. The compound plays a crucial role in polymer manufacturing, specifically contributing to the production of car dashboards and leather seats. Additionally, butyl acrylate serves as a key component in the production of sealants, utilized in various automotive applications such as within the trunk, hood, doors, front dash, and on both the interior and exterior metal joints of vehicles. The global surge in motor vehicle production stands as a significant factor contributing to the anticipated growth of the butyl acrylate market in the coming years.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on India Butyl Acrylate Market
Increasing geopolitical tensions can have a multifaceted impact on the India Butyl Acrylate Market. The surge in upstream values, particularly crude oil, is exerting pressure on downstream derivatives, thereby elevating inflationary concerns for consumers. Butyl acrylate prices in the domestic market have responded with buoyancy, driven by multiple elements contributing to these fluctuations. A substantial driver for this upward trajectory is the notable increase in crude oil values, impacting critical feedstocks like n-Butanol and Acrylic Acid. The exponential rise in crude oil prices is a consequence of global uncertainties, with low inventories in the USA driving up spot prices of Brent. Simultaneously, geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine have further heightened global contract purchases. Additionally, increased consumption in China, post-easing of the dual energy policy and winter Olympics-related restrictions, has influenced the overall pricing dynamics for crude oil globally. Also, heightened demand fundamentals for Butyl Acrylate in the downstream derivative segment contribute to the overall upward price trend in the Indian market.
