The Indian Crude Acrylic Acid market has reached around 185 thousand tonnes in FY2022 and is expected to hike at a significant CAGR of 5.71% during the forecast period until FY2035. In India, BPCL is the sole producer of crude acrylic acid as of FY2022 with an annual capacity of 160 thousand tonnes at Kochi and the plant was inaugurated plant on 14 Feb 2021. Further, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Acrylic Acid plant, which is expected to function in FY2024, holds a capacity of 90 thousand tonnes in Gujarat. IOCL placed a contract worth USD 225 million on Tecnimont to implement a new acrylic acid unit.
Acrylic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Catalytic oxidation of Propylene is one of the primary methods of synthesizing acrylic acid. The raw ingredient for this procedure is a byproduct of naphtha cracking. In the synthesis, two-stage selective oxidation of Propylene occurs to produce acrylic acid. Acrolein works as a fast-acting intermediate in this process. This reaction occurs in a fixed bed reactor along with a catalyst with a reaction temperature range of 310-2500 degrees Celsius. The catalysts used include Tantalum, Arsenic, and Molybdenum. There are various interesting industrial applications of crude acrylic acid and its derivatives, such as paints, adhesives, textiles, special coatings, ink industries, and paper industries. Moreover, it is expected that during the forecast period, there is a potential for acrylic acid for synthesizing the Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP).
One of the primary applications of acrylic acid is the synthesis of acrylic esters. With the scarcity of construction coating and adhesives in the past years, the demand for acrylic esters sharply spiked leading to growth of the Crude Acrylic acid market. Also, by the growing demand for a chemical for water treatment, the acrylic acid consumption will get increase to reach around 381 thousand tonnes by FY2035.
Currently, there is only one producer of acrylic acid in India, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), situated in Kochi, India. The Honorable Prime Minister of India inaugurated this plant on 14th February 2021. This plant has an annual capacity of 160 thousand tones per annum. Before this, the demand for acrylic acid in India was solely dependent on export from other nations. Although, in FY2024, the IOCL acrylic acid plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 90 KTPA in Dumad, Gujarat.
Based on the region-wise consumption, the Acrylic Acid market is segmented into West, South, North, and South. Although during the FY2015-FY2020, west India displayed a higher consumption because most of the factories that consume Acrylic Acid are situated in this region. The states with the highest consumption rates are Gujarat and Maharashtra till FY 2021. Post commissioning of BPCL butyl acrylate plant a sudden jump in capacitive consumption was observed in the southern region. The Acrylic Acid market in the South is anticipated to grow in the forecast period.
Acrylic acid is utilized to manufacture various valuable industrial chemicals like Acrylate Esters. The primary end uses of acrylic acid are acrylate ester, water treatment, detergent, paper, and others. However, India's primary use of acrylic acid is synthesizing acrylate ester. The estimate of Acrylic Acid for preparing acrylic ester accounts is the primary application. Additionally, it is anticipated that acrylic acid may be employed to create the Super Absorbent Polymer in the forecasted period. SAP has excellent absorbing properties and a wide range of uses, from non-hygienic uses like agricultural, construction, and civil engineering to hygiene items like disposable diapers and sanitary items.
