Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bjggjm/global_emulsion) has announced the addition of the "Global Emulsion Polymers Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The analysts forecast the Global Emulsion Polymers Market will grow at a CAGR of 6.06% over the period 2014-2019.
Emulsion polymers are produced by the radical polymerization of water and a monomer. These two are emulsified with a surfactant to act as the basic raw material for the process. Emulsion polymers are of various types, including Acrylics, Vinyl Polymers, SB Latex, and ANB, among others. Owing to the minimal content of VOCs in emulsion polymers, they are rapidly replacing traditional solvent-based dispersions. They find use in various commercial and industrial sectors. Their applications include Paints and Coatings, Paper Coatings, Adhesives and Sealants, Non-woven Fabrics, and Carpets and others.
The increased demand for emulsion polymers in the APAC region, because of significant economic and industrial development in China and India, is the major trend being witnessed in the market. Emulsion polymers are increasingly used in the Construction and other industries in this region because of the increased awareness about the harmful effects of VOCs released by solvent-based paints.
According to the report, increased global awareness about the harmful effects of volatile organic compounds on humans and the environment is one of the major drivers of this market. VOCs are released into the atmosphere during the drying of solvent-based paints and coatings, making them hazardous for both human health and the environment.
Further, the report states that the volatility in the price of benzene, the major raw material for the production of emulsion polymers, is the major challenge faced by the vendors in the market. The price of benzene, a petrochemical, is dependent on the ever-fluctuating price of crude oil. This makes it difficult for emulsion polymer manufacturers to maintain their profitability.
