Global Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Market Size,
Share, Application Analysis, Growth, Trends, Competitive
Scenario And Forecasts, 2012 To 2020
Industry Insights
Global PMMA market is expected to witness significant growth over the next six years owing to
increasing demand in electronics, automotive and signs & display applications. PMMA is widely used in
LED and flat panel televisions as a light guide for the backlights of television. Its superior light
transmittance compared to other polymers makes it an ideal compound in televisions which is expected
to fuel its demand in electronics applications.
Increasing penetration of PMMA in medical devices market as an alternative to other medical polymers
such as PVC and polypropylene owing to health hazards and low biocompatibility is expected to fuel the
market growth over the next six years. Growing concerns regarding the presence of phthalate
plasticizers in PVC has been a major factor for the growing importance for PMMA in medical devices.

PMMA is widely used as an alternative to glass in construction and automotive segments. Increasing
construction spending coupled with growing automotive industry in emerging markets such as Brazil,
China and India are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Volatile prices of acetone have impacted the pricing of methyl methacrylate which consequently
faltered the prices of the profitability of manufacturers in PMMA market. Increasing R&D to develop
bio-based alternatives is anticipated to reduce the dependability of manufacturers on petrochemicals as
raw material source. This is anticipated to provide market participants opportunities in terms of product
innovation.
Product Insights
Extruded sheets emerged the leading product segment in the PMMA market and accounted for more
than 55% of the market share in 2012. Extruded sheets are mainly used for LED screens, building
facades, solar panels and signs & displays. High electronics production and consumption in China and
India on account of growing manufacturing sector and income levels respectively is expected to fuel the
demand for extruded sheets over the forecast period.
PMMA pellets are molded according to their use in various applications such as signs & displays,
automotive, medical devices and clothing. Demand from these applications can be credited to the
demand for PMMA pellets in the market. Increasing usage of PMMA in the lenses of automotive exterior
lights is expected to complement the market growth.

Application Insights
Signs and displays emerged as the largest application segment and accounted for over 37% of the
market share in 2013. Increasing expenditure on advertisements on account of increasing consumerism
in emerging markets around the globe has been a major driving factor for high demand of PMMA in
signs and displays. Electronics is expected to emerge as the largest application segment for the market
by 2020.
Growing electronics industry in China, Taiwan and South Korea coupled with increasing demand for
electronics in Asia, particularly television sets, is expected to drive the market growth in electronics
applications. The market growth is further expected to be complemented by increasing application in
automotive, construction and medical devices.

Regional Insights
Asia Pacific was the largest regional PMMA market and accounted for about 69% of the market volume
in 2013. Presence of LED flat screen and TV manufacturers in the region particularly China, Taiwan and
South Korea coupled with increasing demand for electronics owing to increasing income levels has been
driving the market growth in the region. Low manufacturing costs and availability of high skilled labor
has been a favorable to the increasing electronics production in the region.
This trend is also expected to complement the market growth to make the fastest growing region over
the next six years. North America is expected to register considerable growth on account of high
demand for PMMA in electronics and sign & display applications. Slump in construction and automotive
industries on account of gloomy economic scenario may challenge the market growth in the region.
Europe accounted for 16% of the market volume in 2013. The market is expected to grow on account of
increasing demand for PMMA in signs & displays and automotive applications. The market witnessed
drop in demand in the recent past due to the recent Euro crisis. However, recovery of economy in the
region is expected to favorably impact the market over the next six years.
