U.S. polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) market is expected to reach
USD 1.02 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research,
Inc. Increasing PMMA consumption in automotive and construction industries is
expected to drive growth over the forecast period. These industries have
reached pre economic crisis levels, which have prompted the domestic demand.
Volatile MMA prices coupled with stringent regulations are expected to impact
profitability of key manufacturers.
Extruded sheets were the largest product segment
and accounted for over 50% of total domestic demand in 2014. Rising application
in LED screens, solar panels, visual marketing communication displays and
interiors is expected to drive product growth. Pellets are expected to witness
the highest growth of 3.6% from 2015 to 2022. Rising demand from intermediate
processors who require product variety and color diversity is expected to drive
product growth.
