Due of its distinctive qualities, like its regular drying time, flexibility, and durability among others, acrylic paint is much appreciated over other types of paint, such as oil paints. Acrylic paints are more in demand than their competitors due to these properties. Student acrylics and professional (or artist) acrylics are the two categories under which acrylic paints fall. Both grades share many of the same traits, however artist acrylics have higher pigment concentrations and student acrylics have lower pigment counts, a smaller range of colours, and relatively less expensive formulae. Additionally, a variety of acrylic paints are available, including external acrylics, open acrylics, and acrylics with a heavy body. However, due to characteristics like quicker drying, a wide range of colours, and superior coverage, heavy-body acrylics are in high demand. Furthermore, over the coming few years, the demand for acrylic paints is anticipated to increase due to the expansion of the building industry. Affordability and customer demand are two more significant factors anticipated to increase demand for acrylic paints.
According to the Coherent Market Insights, The market for Acrylic Paints is anticipated to reach more than US$ 230 million by 2027, growing at a 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2019–2027).
