Acrylic acid is a moderately strong carboxylic acid, primarily used in the production of emulsion and solution polymers. On a commercial scale, acrylic acid is mainly produced from the oxidation of propylene or propane derived from petroleum or natural gas — both nonrenewable fossil carbon-based starting materials. In recent years, significant research and development efforts have been made toward manufacturing acrylic acid from natural renewable starting materials, such as glucose or molasses originating from biomass, or from glycerol, a byproduct from biofuels production.
Global biobased acrylic acid production: Not commercial production. The current projects are still at early stages and are expected to take some years before commercialization.
According to our latest research, the global Bio-Acrylic Acid market size will reach USD million in 2028, growing at a CAGR of % over the forecast period 2022-2028.
