Methacrylic acid (MAA) is a colorless, corrosive, and pungent organic acid with the chemical formula CH2=C(CH3) COOH. It is a member of the family of acrylic acids and is obtained by the catalytic oxidation of isobutylene, which is a by-product of petroleum refining. MAA is used as a raw material in producing various polymers, such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), employed in manufacturing acrylic plastics and resins. In addition to this, it is used as a crosslinking agent in the manufacture of paints, adhesives, and coatings to improve adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability.

Methacrylic acid (MAA) has a boiling point of 161 °C, a melting point of 16.5 °C, and a density of 1.02 g/cm³. It is soluble in warm water and miscible with most organic solvents.MAA is a highly reactive compound that readily polymerizes to form a range of polymeric materials such as poly (methacrylic acid) and poly (methyl methacrylate), which are widely used in a variety of applications such as medical implants, automotive components, and optical lenses. Apart from this, it is also used in the production of ion exchange resins, which are widely used in water treatment applications to remove impurities from drinking water.

The increasing demand for MAA for manufacturing acrylic plastics and resins, which are employed across the construction, automotive, and electronics industries, is primarily driving the market growth. Besides this, the growing demand for methacrylic esters, latexes, oil additives, coatings, and reactive diluents is creating a favorable outlook for the market. Moreover, the rising demand for clean and safe drinking water is fuelling the need for ion exchange resins used in water treatment applications to remove impurities from drinking water, which is contributing to the market growth. In addition to this, the surging adoption of MAA-based polymers in the production of electronic devices such as touch screens, displays, and optical fibers is providing lucrative opportunities for market growth. In line with this, the expanding use of MAA-based polymers in manufacturing medical implants such as artificial joints, bone cement, and dental materials is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, innovative technological advancements in the production processes, such as the use of bio-based feedstocks to enhance operational efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs, are strengthening the market growth. Other factors, such as the changing lifestyles, the inflating disposable income of individuals, the rising geriatric population, and the prevalence of chronic diseases, are positively impacting the market growth.
