Global bio PMMA market size worth $2.76 billion by 2022

Global Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Market size is likely to be valued at USD 11.65 billion by 2022; as per a new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Increasing spending on advertising & marketing for building strong brand equity and product recall is likely to favor demand. Growing demand for light-weight & low emission vehicles coupled with increased fuel efficiency requirement is anticipated to support growth. Bio PMMA market size was estimated at USD 188.4 million in 2014, with growth estimates of 18% up to 2022.

Growing demand for LED flat panel display TVs particularly in Asia Pacific is anticipated to drive PMMA market. Increasing application scope in healthcare sectors for manufacturing cuvettes, bone cements, dentures and syringes are likely to positively influence demand. Fluctuating prices of raw materials such as acetone, ammonia and methanol are likely to affect PMMA market prices, thereby affecting industry profitability.

Extruded sheets were largely consumed products accounting for over 55% of the total volume in 2014. Increase in LED screens popularity coupled with growth in signs & display segment is likely to drive extruded sheets demand. Cell cast sheet & blocks are likely to be fastest growing product segment with an estimated CAGR of 6.9% from 2015 to 2022.
