The global Acrylic Cast Sheet market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2381 million in 2025 to US$ 3364 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Acrylic sheet, chemically known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a polymer material polymerized from acrylic monomers. It is transparent in appearance, hard in texture and has excellent weather resistance, so it is often called "organic glass". Compared with traditional glass, the density of acrylic sheet is only half of that of glass, but its impact resistance is several times higher, and it can be processed into complex shapes through thermoforming. In addition, acrylic sheet has excellent optical properties (up to 92% transmittance), UV resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, making it an ideal substitute for glass in many fields.
From the production process point of view, acrylic sheet is mainly divided into two types: cast sheet (Cast Acrylic) and extruded sheet (Extruded Acrylic). Cast sheet is made by injecting liquid monomer into the mold and polymerizing it at high temperature. It has a higher molecular weight and stronger surface hardness, which is suitable for scenes requiring high-precision processing (such as engraving, laser cutting); while extruded sheet adopts continuous extrusion molding process, which has higher production efficiency, but the molecular chain is shorter, which is more suitable for large-scale standardized production (such as advertising light boxes, signs).
In terms of application areas, acrylic casting sheets cover multiple industries such as construction, transportation, home, and medical. For example, in the construction field, they are used for lighting ceilings and sound insulation barriers; in transportation, they are used for aircraft cabin windows and car taillight covers; in home design, they are used for bathtubs and furniture panels. Its customizable characteristics (such as color, thickness, and surface texture) further broaden the application scenarios and meet the personalized needs of different customers.
The global cast acrylic sheet market is witnessing steady growth, which is attributed to the increasing adoption of acrylic sheets in the fields of architecture, automotive, and more. The rise of urbanization and infrastructure development has particularly driven the demand for cast acrylic sheets for building facades, skylights, partitions, and decorative panels. As an alternative to glass, acrylic offers improved safety and energy efficiency, making it a popular choice for modern buildings.
In the automotive industry, cast acrylic sheets are used for interior panels, light diffusers, and visors due to their lightweight and impact-resistant properties. The quest for fuel efficiency and sustainable materials has further driven the use of acrylic in vehicle design, replacing heavier components without compromising on performance and durability.
The cast acrylic sheet industry has witnessed significant growth with the rise of advanced manufacturing technologies. Precision machining, laser cutting, and improved molding processes have enabled manufacturers to create complex designs with high precision. Moreover, innovations in the field of polymer chemistry have driven the development of scratch-resistant and anti-reflective cast acrylic sheets, expanding their application scope.
One of the most important technological breakthroughs in the acrylic industry is the production of recycled acrylic sheets. With increasing environmental awareness, manufacturers are working on sustainable alternatives to recycle post-consumer and post-industrial acrylic waste into high-quality sheets. This development not only reduces the environmental impact but also improves production cost efficiency.
The major global players in acrylic cast sheets include Polyventis, Mitsubishi Chemical, Trinseo, Verzatec, Plaskolite, etc. The top five players have a share of more than 45%. Asia Pacific is the largest market with a share of about 40%.
