The acrylic acid market is expected to witness a steady growth over the forecast period as economies around world accelerate. The market for acrylates and SAP is rapidly expanding with increasing demand from existing and emerging end-use applications such as diapers and surface coatings, which are the largest applications of acrylic acid.
Growing popularity of SAP and increasing use of commodity acrylates in various applications play a significant role in driving the market. The property of SAP to absorb and retain water makes it a material of choice in baby and adult diapers.
