According to the report, the global methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market was worth around USD 1547.69 Million in 2023 and is predicted to grow to around USD 2,972.26 Million by 2032 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 7.52% between 2024 and 2032.
Zion Market Research has published a new report titled “Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Adhesives Market by Substrate (Metal, Plastic, Composite, and Others) and by End-Use (Automotive & Transportation, Building & Construction, Marine, Wind Energy, General Assembly, and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2024—2032”.
Methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives are fundamental adhesives developed to bond metals, plastics, and composites. MMA adhesives are tough, flexible, and easy to use.
The automotive and transportation is the fastest growing end-user of the methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market. The increased use of methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives in automotives is expected to witness a significant rise over the forecast time period. However, the volatile raw material costs might hamper this market. Nevertheless, the growing popularity of eco-friendly, non-toxic, and sustainable adhesives are likely to create new growth opportunities for the major players operating in the methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market on a global scale.
Based on the substrate, the global methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market is divided into metal, plastic, composite, and others. In 2017, composites dominated the market and held a significant share. Composites are most preferable MMA due to their use in varied connecting composite items, such as bumpers, deflectors, composite tanks, roofs, car seats, blades, instrument panels, and interior body panel structures of cars, trucks, buses, tanks, and rails. Based on end-use, this global market is mainly segmented into automotive and transportation, building and construction, marine, wind energy, general assembly, and others. In 2017, the automotive and transportation industry dominated the MMA market. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives offer excellent performance along with reducing vehicle weight. These adhesives applications have revolutionized the building and design processes in the automotive industry. The rising product demand in automotive and transportation, building and construction, marine, and wind energy, particularly in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations, is projected to drive the methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market in the next few years. The marine sector uses methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives due to their excellent gap filling ability, reduced gel coat cracking, and superior performance for laminated joints.
