Glycidyl Methacrylate Market Seen Soaring ~7.5% Growth to Reach USD Million by 2033, Projects UnivDatos

Key Highlights of the Report:

• Expansion of Coating and Adhesive Industries: The rapid rise of the world coating and adhesives ecosystem has almost inevitably become one of the prime GMA market drivers. Since industries need to ensure that their products have properties imparted by high-performance materials, including durability, chemical resistance, and superior bonding capability, GMA has increasingly hit the spotlight due to the epoxide and methacrylate reactive functionalities. These functionalities allow it to be used in high-performance coatings and adhesive systems across automotive, construction, electronics, and marine applications. Also, higher demand for lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials for transportation and infrastructure projects has pushed further the application of formulations based on GMA. Allied to this, manufacturers go for GMA in creating low-VOC and waterborne coatings that provide very good adhesion and finish, complying with environmental regulations. On a steady growth path for lead coating industries, the demand for functional monomers such as GMA is expected to grow.

• Increased Usage in Biomedical Applications: There is a significant increase in the application of Glycidyl Methacrylate, which is expected to drive the growth of this market. In general, it finds higher adoption in hydrogels, drug delivery systems, and bio-compatible coatings due to high reactivity, biocompatibility, and property control through copolymerization. In general, it is employed to produce more advanced medical devices, implants, and scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As more personalized and precise treatment modalities build up within the healthcare sector, the functionality of materials that can safely interact with biological systems will be in demand.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Glycidyl Methacrylate Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). One of the major factors for the growing demand for Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) worldwide is the expansion in applications across automotive, electronics, coatings, and adhesive industries. Consequently, the worldwide GMA market is witnessing brisk growth. Polyester resins and epoxies are called high-performance polymers because they offer enhanced mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability; growing demand for such polymers is further enabling the growth of the product. GMA is used as a functional monomer in the formation of polymers to enhance adhesion, crosslinking, and compatibility with different substrates. In automotive and industrial coatings, GMA is used to make the coatings resistant and to give a finishing surface of quality. The rising trend of lightweight materials in the automotive sector, coupled with investments flowing toward infrastructure and electronics manufacturing, especially with the emergence of developing markets like China, India, and Southeast Asia, has helped GMA gain through its respective end-use sectors.

Sales within the automotive industry have displayed growth, and GMA usage benefits from such tailwinds. According to OICA, sales of passenger cars have boomed from 47.91 million in 2021 to 56.88 million in 2024, led by the Asia-Pacific and Europe. Due to the development of automotive sales in global dimensions and infrastructure projects, and a consumer demand for high-performance materials, the GMA market enjoys a positive outlook. Every company is currently targeting the emerging high-growth markets to take early footholds. This contention-and-the-shift-towards-quality-based-added-service will characteristically define the global Glycidyl Methacrylate market between 2025 and 2033.

Segments that transform the industry

• Based on application, the global glycidyl methacrylate market is segmented into adhesive, coating, plastics, printing ink, ion exchange resin, fiber treatment agent, antistatic additive, electrical laminates, and other. The adhesives segment has held a sizeable market share. The adhesives segment has occupied a substantial market share, due to GMA exhibiting superior bonding quality and chemical resistance. Its reactive epoxy and methacrylate groups render it perfect in augmenting bond strength in structural and industrial adhesives applied in automotive, construction, and electronics industries. This segment has been further stimulated by an increased requirement for lightweight and durable materials for bonding in modern engineering and manufacturing. The transition to green adhesives prompts the use of GMA mainly in packaging and consumer electronics.

According to the report, the Growing Demand for High-Performance Polymers & Automotive Applications has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

The growing demand for high-performance polymers is one of the key drivers that has promoted the market growth of the Glycidyl Methacrylate market. With the adoption of high-performance polymers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, construction, etc., the glycidyl methacrylate demand has rapidly surged. Additionally, the offered high-performance materials provide high resistance against temperature, mechanical stress, and chemical stress, which makes them crucial for the application in various industries. 

Many of the companies, such as ULTURS, DIC Corporation, and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, are offering acrylic-based paints and automotive top coating with the usage of Glycidyl Methacrylate.
