LONDON – In 2010 European Union demand for acrylic acid increased 33% and exceeded the 2007 pre-crisis level. In 2010 EU market size achieved 840,000 tons. The demand is forecasted to grow 4.5% annually. The main growth driver is the expanding use in superabsorbent polymers production. Currently production of SAPs totals 32% in bulk acrylic acid consumption.

EU is self-sufficient in acrylic acid. The import supplies cover a tiny 1.5% share. The product is delivered from Indonesia, Japan and China.

Germany is ranked 1st in Europe and 3rd globally (after US and China) by acrylic acid capacity. Germany obtains 615,000 tons/y and produces 60% of European acrylic acid. The country represents the biggest consumer market for acrylic acid within EU, as well.
