Key recent trends on the acrylic acid market in the Benelux countries

…

Acrylic acid is highly dependent on the development of end-use markets such as paints, varnishes, and surface coatings, textiles, adhesives, and plastics, and others. The commodity acrylates are majorly used in the paints and coatings industry in waterborne coatings.

Currently, as the governments are restricting the use of VOCs, solvent-based coatings are being replaced by water borne coatings. This has been driving the demand of the chemicals in the industry. A trend in the industry is the rising demand for superabsorbent polymers.

Accounting for about 33% of the global acrylic acid supply in 2016, they have experienced very strong growth primarily in the personal disposable hygiene products such as baby diapers, adult protective underwear, and sanitary napkins. In terms of demand, any potential growth in the market was expected in line with GDP moves of a few percentage points since demand for these products, and from the construction industry, is closely linked with GDP. Moreover, the demand for coatings is cyclical. It starts declining in the fourth quarter of the year and would continue its decline until it flattens in January and then picks up again in February in advance of the spring coatings season in the region.

Competitive landscape of the market

‌ The main players on the market are large multinational companies, which have the resources to compete for large contracts. However, most of them are quite diversified in terms of product and geographical operations and therefore less reliant on this particular market alone.

The acrylic acid market is characterized by relatively low product differentiation, although products are less commoditized than most base chemicals. The barriers to market entry include capital requirements for establishing manufacturing facilities, and increasingly stringent regulation, which all serve to increase rivalry‌
