Demand for acrylic acid is forecast to increase four percent per annum through the year 2005. Acrylate esters such as butyl, ethyl, ethylhexyl and methyl acrylates account for the majority of acrylic acid demand. These products are utilized as the acrylic monomer component in a variety of coatings, adhesives, paper and leather finishes and as co-monomers and property modifiers in plastics production.

Gains will thus be stimulated by growth in demand for these end-use products, in particular industrial and specialty coatings, paper finishes and plastics additives.

Details on these and other findings are available in the new Freedonia study,Acrylic Acid & Derivatives, priced at $3500. It analyzes the two billion pound US market for acrylic acid, providing historical data (1990, 1995 and 2000) as well as forecasts to 2005 and 2010 by type (acrylate esters and acrylic acid polymers) and market (paints and coatings, adhesives, personal care products, detergents, water treatment, plastics modifiers and paper and leather finishes).

The study also examines the US market environment, assesses the industry structure and presents market share data. In addition, company profiles are included of key industry players such as BASF, Dow Chemical, Celanese and Rohm and Haas.
