Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Segment Analysis – by Application
The paints & coatings segment held the significant Synthetic Latex Polymers Market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The crucial properties of synthetic latex polymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene, styrene acrylics, and more include their high gel content, high molecular weight, high cohesive strength, strong self-tack and more. These qualities ensure that coatings are simple to apply and quick to dry, making them perfect for a production process. The absence of gas emissions during the drying process is especially advantageous and can significantly affect the duration and expense of the painting process. This factor makes synthetic latex polymers ideal for paints and coatings applications. Thus, the surging adoption of synthetic latex polymers in paints and coatings is accelerating market growth.
Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry
The automotive segment held the largest Synthetic Latex Polymers Market share in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Synthetic latex polymers are employed in the automotive industry for the treatment of cord and fabric in high-performance belts. The increasing purchasing power of people, growth of the logistics industry and others are the crucial determinants driving the growth of the automotive industry. For instance, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), in 2021, 2.1 million commercial vehicles were produced in the European Union region, an increase of 1.0% over 2020. Hence, the bolstering automotive industry is fueling the demand for belts, O-rings and other automotive parts. This factor is propelling market growth.
Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Segment Analysis – by Geography
Asia-Pacific is the dominating region as it held the largest Synthetic Latex Polymers Market share in 2021 up to 48.1%. The surge in the sectoral growth of the Asia-Pacific countries is due to the expansion of the various industries, including automotive, building & construction and more. The key variables such as the rapid phase of industrialization, increasing consumer income, and others are the vital factors driving the automotive industry growth in Asia-Pacific. For instance, according to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), in 2020, the production of light commercial vehicles in Asia-Pacific was 4,668,333 units and in 2021 it was 5,099,264 units, an increase of 9%. Therefore, the surge in the production of automobiles in Asia-Pacific is fueling the demand for automotive parts. As a result, it is expected the demand for synthetic latex polymers will surge. This, in turn, will propel the synthetic latex polymers market size growth during the projected forecast period.
Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Drivers
The Surging Adoption of Styrene Butadiene in the Paper and Paperboard Industry
Styrene-butadiene latex formulations are frequently used as a coating in paper products such as magazines, flyers and catalogs to achieve a high gloss, good printability and oil and water resistance. The factors such as the growth of the paper packaging industry, surging demand from the printing and stationery industry and other factors are accelerating the paper and paperboard industry growth. For instance, according to the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), in the year 2019, the production of paper and paperboard in Germany was 21.39 million tons, which was 25% of the total European paper and paperboard production. Hence, the growth of the paper and paperboard industry is fueling the demand for styrene-butadiene latex, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth.
Bolstering Construction Industry
Synthetic Latex Polymers are employed in the construction products such as paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants and more to enhance the elastomer property, binding and prevent cracking. Factors such as robust demand for larger commercial spaces, strong federal government policies for the residential sector and more are aiding the construction activities growth.
