The global latex binders market size is projected to grow from USD 6.6 billion in 2021 to USD 9.0 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.5% between 2021 and 2026. . The increasing demand from technical textiles, increase in demand for protective coatings for roofs and floors in industrial and commercial facilities, increasing demand from emerging economies, and rising per capita consumption of paints is driving the market for latex binders. However, volatility in raw material prices is expected to restrain this market. Increased demand for water-based acrylic latex binders in emerging markets, increase in industrial and commercial construction and increase in population and rapid urbanization leading to large number of construction projects are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to manufacturers of latex binders. The major challenges faced by players are the manufacture of low-VOC latex binders and rise in demand for bio-based latex binders in Europe.

In terms of value, the styrene-butadiene segment is projected to account for the largest share of the latex binders market, by type, during the forecast period.

Styrene-butadiene is projected to be the largest type segment in latex binders market. Styrene-butadiene latex is classified into styrene-butadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene copolymer. These binders have good handling property, ease of application, and high bonding strength. Low-cost medium is used to formulate latex, making latex comparatively inexpensive. Latex is widely used in applications such as construction additives, paints & coating, adhesive & sealant, paper & paperboard, textile & carpet, and sports surfaces.

Paints & coating is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Paints & coating is the leading segment of the latex binders market. The latex binder is used to manufacture polymer emulsions for architectural paints. Latex polymer emulsions are majorly used to decorate and protect new constructions as well as to maintain existing structures including residential homes and apartments, public buildings, and plants & factories. When used for the end-use industries mentioned above, they are referred to as architectural or decorative paints & coating. Another use of the latex binder in paints & coating is that of decorating/protecting industrial products and construction spaces. Other miscellaneous end uses include traffic paints, vehicle refinishing, high-performance coatings for industrial plants and equipment, and the protection of marine structures and vessels. The latex binder is used for the manufacture of these emulsions for paints & coating.

The APAC region leads the latex binders market in terms of value.

APAC is the fastest-growing region for latex binders market. The growth in demand for latex binders in the region can be largely attributed to factors such as high population, increasing industrial growth, and stringent environmental norms. Moreover, the rising number of end-use industries in the region is also leading to innovations and developments in the field of latex binders, thereby fueling the growth of the APAC latex binders market.
