Market Growth Factors
Improving the availability and use of bio-based polymers is creating opportunities for the bio-acrylic acid market in Brazil as companies work to reduce their dependency on polluting and climate-changing fossil-derived materials․ Braskem’s investment of USD 87 Million to increase the capacity of the bio-based ethylene plant by 30% in 2023 is part of its goal to increase bio-based production to reach one million ton of biopolymers by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050, considerably meeting the demand for bio-based acrylic acid in the country․
Another key advantage is the ease of supply of bio-based feedstocks․ Brazil has a well-developed agricultural sector, particularly with the supply of sugarcane for the production of bio-acrylic acid․ Sugarcane is the main crop, with 705 Million Metric tons expected for the April 2023 to March 2024 marketing year․ This results in excess feedstock, reducing the price of raw material and easing mass production․ Brazil’s biorefineries and investments in biotechnologies also make the country a competitor in the production of bio-based chemical products․
The increased demand for bio-acrylic acid in adhesives, coatings, and other applications is going to drive the market․ In Brazil, increasing sustainability policies and consumer demand for sustainable products are going to drive the market․ In 2023, 81% of respondents in the country said they had sustainability concerns and 16% were willing to pay extra for sustainability․ Bio-acrylic acid can be used in the manufacturing of a variety of products in place of petrochemical derivatives, like car paints and adhesives, inks, coatings and films, and is expected to see further growth as product manufacturers seek more sustainable alternatives․
