The global synthetic latex polymers market size reached US$ 32.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 43.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% during 2024-2032.
Synthetic latex is a laboratory-made aqueous dispersion of petroleum polymers. It is an artificially synthesized compound with high-strength, flexibility and water-resistance properties. These polymers are derived from styrene and butadiene using chemical catalysts obtained by the process of emulsion polymerization. Synthetic latex polymers are added to other compounds for the alteration of molecular weight and mechanical properties. Currently, they are available in the form of styrene acrylic, vinyl acetate-ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer and are utilized in the production of paints, coatings, textiles, medical equipment, belts and seals, etc.
The growing construction industry is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Along with the increasing number of commercial and residential construction activities, the growing product demand for coatings and paints is also contributing to the market growth. Synthetic latex is used as a bonding and waterproofing agent with cement as it offers immense water impermeability, adhesion to substrates and excellent chemical resistance. It is also suitable for both interior and exterior applications, which is contributing to its widespread adoption across the construction industry. Additionally, synthetic latex is extensively used to produce water-based coating emulsions that are used as a coating to prevent corrosion of metallic substrates. It improves durability and resistance against scratches and scuffs of the metallic surface. Moreover, there is a growing requirement from the healthcare industry to manufacture latex-based surgical gloves, catheters, electrode pads, stethoscopes, elastic bandages and wraps. Other factors, including the introduction of bio-adhesives that are compatible with latex and comply with environmental standards, along with increasing research and development (R&D) activities, are projected to drive the market further.
