Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Synthetic latex polymers are aqueous dispersion of petroleum polymers which are made in laboratory. These polymers provide flexibility, high-strength and water-resistance properties them suitable and perfect for an extensive range of industrial applications. Synthetic latex polymers are highly similar in properties to natural ones. These polymers are also cheaper in nature. 

Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growth and expansion in building and construction industry

Synthetic latex polymers are highly used in construction products such as adhesives & sealants, paints & coatings, and more to increase elastomer property, binding and preventing cracking. Factors such as robust federal government policies for the residential sector, strong demand for larger commercial spaces and many other factors are aiding the growth of the construction activities. For instance, as per the analysis of United States Census Bureau, the total number of new residential construction projects was 1,379.61 thousand units which started in the USA in 2021 and it was 1,610 thousand units, a surge of 16.7%. Therefore, the growth of construction activities boosts the demand for construction products such as adhesives & sealant, paints & coatings and more. This, in turn, driving the growth of the market.

• The increasing adoption of styrene butadiene in the paper and paperboard industry

The formulations of Styrene-butadiene latex are normally used as a coating in paper products such as flyers, magazines and catalogs to achieve a good printability, high gloss, and oil and water resistance. The factors such as the surging demand from the printing and stationery industry, growth of the paper packaging industry and other factors are bolstering the growth of the paper and paperboard industry. For instance, as per the analysis of Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), the production of paper and paperboard was 21.39 million tons in the year 2019 in Germany, which was 25% of the total European production of paper and paperboard. Hence, the growth of the paper and paperboard market is boosting the demand for styrene-butadiene latex, which, in turn, expected to drive the market growth.

Opportunities

• Surging demand of synthetic latex polymers in paints & coatings industry

The paints and coatings sector covers a significant share in synthetic latex polymers market share during the forecast period, which will be expected to create numerous and new opportunities for the market growth. The significant properties of these polymers such as styrene acrylics, vinyl acetate ethylene and more include their high cohesive strength, strong self-tack, high gel content, high molecular weight and more. These qualities of synthetic latex polymers ensure that coatings are quick to dry and simple to apply, making them perfect for production. The absence of gas emissions during the drying process is specifically advantageous and can considerably affect the expense and duration of the painting process. This factor makes these polymers perfect for paints and coatings applications. Therefore, the growing adoption of synthetic latex polymers in coatings and paints is accelerating the growth of the market.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Volatility in raw material prices

Synthetic latex polymers are derived from crude oil-based butadiene and styrene using chemical catalysts from emulsion polymers. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has extremely impacted crude oil prices. The increase in the price of crude oil impacts the costs of raw materials. As a result, synthetic latex polymer manufacturers are growing their costs. For instance, Zeon Corp. in Tokyo announced expense increases for its synthetic rubber and latex products in June 2022. Thus, the volatility in raw material prices is limiting the growth of the market.
