Acrylic monomer prices (methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid) have seen moderate volatility in early 2025 due to fluctuations in propylene and benzene feedstocks tied to oil/gas markets. However, improved downstream efficiency and scale have moderated resin-level price moves. High-performance transparent grades command 20–40% premiums over standard acrylics, reflecting specialized applications. Highly transparent acrylic resins—used in optical coatings, high-clarity adhesives, automotive clearcoats, specialty inks—are primarily produced via emulsion or solution polymerization. Demand has grown alongside rising applications in electronics/screens, daylight-glazing, and UV-curable surfaces. Production has shifted toward low-VOC, water-reducible acrylics, and UV-curable hybrid systems, offering faster curing and lower environmental,
