Acrylated Monomers Market Set for 9-Year Expansion, Driven by UV-Curable Coatings Demand
The global acrylated monomers market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% from 2026 to 2035, reaching a market index of 160 by 2035 (2025=100), according to the latest IndexBox report.
This growth is driven by the accelerating adoption of radiation-curable technologies across coatings, adhesives, printing inks, and advanced manufacturing. Acrylated monomers serve as essential building blocks for polymers and oligomers that cure rapidly under ultraviolet or electron beam radiation.
The market is being reinforced by regulatory pressure to reduce volatile organic compound emissions, the shift toward high-performance lightweight materials in automotive and electronics, and the growing use of UV-curable resins in 3D printing and dental applications. Asia-Pacific remains the largest and fastest-growing consumption region, supported by its dense coatings and electronics manufacturing base.
The competitive landscape features integrated chemical majors and specialized formulators, with strategic focus on application engineering and supply chain resilience. Major companies in this segment include AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, and Sherwin-Williams, which are increasingly formulating UV-curable products.
