The global polymethyl methacrylate market size reached US$ 5.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 8.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2023-2032. The growing adoption in the automotive industry for manufacturing automotive parts, rising utilization for treating acne, facial lines, and wrinkles, and increasing demand in electronic devices represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic glass, is a synthetic resin that is manufactured from the free radical polymerization of monomer methyl methacrylate. It is processed by various methods, such as injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion or casting. It is cost-effective, transparent, rigid, durable, and highly resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light and weathering. It has low moisture and water-absorbing capacity that aids in offering dimensional stability. It provides enhanced light transmission and unlimited coloring options as compared to other transparent polymers. It assists in providing improved optical clarity, versatility, and tensile strength. Besides this, it does not contain any toxic materials or heavy metals that can cause environmental pollution. As a result, PMMA is widely employed in the automotive, construction, electrical and electronics, marine, healthcare, and agriculture industries across the globe.
