Summary

Dimethylolpropionic acid is a free-flowing crystalline that is beneficial for the manufacturing and processing of water-soluble resins. It is widely used in the aqueous urethane dispersions for proving high gloss waterborne coatings with excellent flexibility and toughness. It is also used in the powder coatings as a modifier in epoxy polyester for enhancing gloss, flow property, and impact resistance. Furthermore, it is also used in urethane elastomers for improving adhesion to glass, steel, and plastic.

The global dimethylolpropionic acid market is projected to surpass US$ 530.0 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).

Drivers

The growing production of polyurethane dispersion is expected to drive the market growth of dimethylolpropionic acid. This is attributed to the rising demand for polyurethane dispersion from various end-use applications such as leather, adhesives &sealants, fiberglass, furniture, etc. Thus rising demand for polyurethane dispersions is projected to favor the market growth over the forecast period.

Rising demand for electro-deposition coatings across the metal industry is projected to stimulate market growth. Electro-deposition is low-cost coatings that offer high performance and improve functional properties of the materials. It is widely used in appliances such as HVAC system. Thus growing demand for electro-deposition coatings across the various end-use application is expected to augment the market growth of dimethylolbutanoic acid over the forecast period.

Regionally, Asia-pacific dominated the global dimethylolpropionic acid market in 2019, reporting 41% market share in terms of revenue, followed by Europe and North America, respectively.
