Water-based accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes water-based, solvent-based, and others. According to the report, water-based represented the largest segment.

Water-based acrylic resin, often referred to simply as water-based acrylic or acrylic emulsion, is a type of acrylic polymer that is dispersed in water. It can be utilized in several applications, including paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, inks, and textiles. It is considered more sustainable than solvent-based acrylic resins because it has lower VOC emissions, which contribute to air pollution. This makes it a preferred choice for environmentally conscious consumers and industries. Water-based acrylics dry quickly, making them suitable for applications where rapid curing or drying is necessary. They offer good resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and chemicals, ensuring the longevity of the finished product. They typically have a lower odor compared to solvent-based alternatives, making them more pleasant to work with in indoor settings.
