Acrylic polymers are polymers formed by the free radical polymerization of acrylic acid. Generally, photopolymers of acrylic polymer are formed by polymerization of acrylic acid, whereas co-polymer is formed by polymerization between acrylic acid and maleic acid. Acrylic polymers find application in cleaning products’ formulations. Generally, homo- and co-polymer of acrylic acid are used in the production of laundry detergents, dishwashing products, and other cleaning products. The main function of acrylic polymers is to act as builders and anti-soil re-deposition agents. In detergent formulation, acrylic polymers have replaced traditionally used phosphate builders, which is toxic in nature and harmful to the environment. These polymers offer good dispersion and fabric softening properties, owing to which, they are prevalently used in laundry detergent, dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, and other such products.

Acrylic Polymer Market Industry New Revenue Pockets
The acrylic polymer market for cleaning application is projected to grow from USD 580 Million in 2021 to USD 709 Million by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.1%. The acrylic polymer market for cleaning application is expected to register a 4.1% CAGR between 2021 and 2026. The water-borne accounted for the largest market share of 93.8% in 2020, in terms of value. Laundry & Detergent is estimated to be the largest application of acrylic polymer market for cleaning application during the forecast period, followed by dishwashing in terms of volume. Increasing awareness and emphasis on hygiene and cleaning measures, along with increasing demand for high-performance, sustainable, and eco-friendly cleaning products, are fueling the growth of the acrylic polymers market for cleaning application. The stringent regulations and norms are also supporting the market growth.
Acrylic polymer market for cleaning application can be broadly classified into water-borne, and solvent-borne, based on type. The selection of a type depends on the application area and cost of materials, among others. Due to the alkaline nature of water-borne acrylic polymer, it is majorly used in household cleaning products such as dishwashing soaps, laundry & detergents, fabric softeners, and hard surface cleaners; whereas solvent-borne acrylic polymers are mainly used in sensitization and disinfectant of the surface. It is used to remove hard stains of oil and grease when used in laundry detergents. Across the globe, the market is propelled by the growing awareness of hygiene and cleanliness, coupled with the rising demand for cleaning products in households, institutions, and industrial facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the growth can be attributed to cleanliness standards mandated by authorities and the mounting pressure to sanitize public places.
