The United States polymer emulsion market size reached approximately USD 5.88 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 10.72 billion by 2032.
Polymer emulsions refer to the dispersion of tiny polymeric particles of size 100-1000 nanometres in an aqueous solution. They are obtained from the process of free radical polymerisation, where organic monomers are emulsified into the universal solvent (water) with the help of stabilisers and radical forming initiators. Their increasing demand is attributed to their emission control abilities and their diverse qualities.
The market is being driven by the growth in demand for polymer emulsion from end-use industries like building and construction, textiles and coatings, and chemicals, among others. With the expansion of new housing projects, the need for adhesives and sealants derived from polymer emulsions is rising significantly, fuelling the United States polymer emulsion market growth.
Green energy transition; increasing AI adoption; development of circular economy; and focus on building brand transparency are the major trends impacting the United States polymer emulsion market growth.

Trends | Description |
Rising use of polymer emulsions in li-ion batteries | The product can be used to facilitate improvements in the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries that are used in electric vehicles |
Adoption of AI to develop sustainable chemicals | Chemical companies are utilising AI tools to research sustainable products, predict the consequences of upscaling production, and gain critical insights by tracking data |
Development of circular supply chains | The chemical industry is focusing on minimising waste and reducing emissions, which is expected to lead to the United States polymer emulsion market development in the coming years |
Focus on building brand transparency | Many chemical companies are focusing on manufacturing clean and safe products which have no negative health/ environmental impacts |
As the United States shifts towards the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, researchers are designing chemical coatings that make lithium-ion batteries more powerful and long-lasting. For example, in February 2024, researchers at the Berkeley Lab created HOS-PFM, a conductive polymer covering that ensures battery stability and enhances its lifespan by 5 years.
The adoption of AI by chemical companies is expected to accelerate innovation, boost productivity, enhance decision-making, and lead to better customer relations. AI tools can lead to optimisation of operations, boost the discovery of new production methods, and reduce the distance between factory and market. Thus, technological advancements and innovations are expected to lead to United States polymer emulsion market growth in the forecast period.
“United States Polymer Emulsion Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup | Categories |
Product | Acrylics, Styrene-Butadiene Latex, Vinyl Acetate Polymers, Others |
Application | Adhesives and Sealants, Paper and Paperboard, Paints and Coatings, Others |
End Use | Chemicals, Textile and Coatings, Building and Construction, Automotive, Others |
Region | New England, Mideast, Great Lakes, Plains, Southeast, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, Far West |
Vinyl acetate polymers are expected to constitute a major part in the United States polymer emulsion market share in the forecast period
Polymers like vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsions have good adhesion properties and they meet the regulatory requirements for non-migration of bonds, which makes them a popular choice for glueing corrugated boxes and paper bags. Their low VOC content and positive environmental profile make them the ideal choice for the packaging industry, which is expected to lead to the United States polymer emulsion market expansion in the coming years.
The increasing focus on sustainability is also prompting companies to manufacture polymer emulsions for wastewater treatment. This, along with the growth in demand for other emulsion polymers like acrylics and styrene-butadiene latex, among others, is aiding the market growth.
Paints and coatings sector represent a significant share of the United States polymer emulsion market
Polymer emulsions impart colour to buildings and protect them against dirt and moisture. They constitute 5-50% of the total mass of paint in the mixture and are formulated with other chemicals like thickeners, wetting agents, inorganic pigments, and biocides.
Pure acrylate-based emulsion polymers are extremely popular for applications related to interior coating homes, due to their glossy look and shine. For exterior architectural coatings, pure acrylate-based polymers are mixed with hydrophobic co-monomers, including styrene and vinyl acetate to withstand microbiological attacks and extreme weather conditions. This is expected to lead to the United States polymer emulsion market growth in the coming years.
The demand for polymer emulsions for application in adhesives and coatings is also expected to increase in the forecast period due to their excellent rheological profile and their low VOC content, which makes them environmentally friendly.
Major market players are designing innovative strategies to boost research and development of polymer emulsions, which is expected to drive the market
