Basic methacrylate copolymers are also referred to as basic methacrylic acid copolymers. Methacrylate copolymers are a kind of organic compound with versatile application areas. The basic methacrylate copolymer contains basic methacrylic acid as a key monomer. Mainly Basic methacrylate copolymer is widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient to improve the taste of solid oral drug formulations.
In addition to pharmaceutical applications, the methacrylate copolymer is used as a coating agent for solid food products. Basic methacrylate copolymer is increasingly being used in solid food coatings as it provides better moisture protection and preserves the taste.
In the cosmetic and personal care industries, the basic methacrylate copolymer is used as a thickener to improve the performance of hair and skin care formulations. Some of the widely used methacrylate copolymers are butylated methacrylate copolymer and ethylene methyl methacrylate copolymers.

Over the period of time covered by the study (2017 to 2021), basic methacrylate copolymer is witnessed great interest from researchers and professionals of various disciplines for various high-value applications. The market for basic methacrylate copolymers was recorded to grow at a phenomenal CAGR of 10.4% between 2017 and 2021, mostly due to the rising demand for methacrylate copolymers in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries.
Whereas, as per the latest study conducted by FMI, the Methacrylate Copolymer market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2022 and 2032. The increasing use of methacrylate copolymer as a thickener in cosmetic products to enhance skin care formulation is a key factor driving the growth of the methacrylate copolymer market. Increasing use of butylated methacrylate copolymer in various applications, such as film coating, enteric coating, taste masking of bitter drugs, binder for powders, moisture barrier coating, and the transdermal therapeutic system is a key factor driving the market.
Increasing demand for basic methacrylate copolymer in pharmaceutical formulations, typically in the pharmaceutical industry, is driving the global methacrylate copolymer market. Additionally, rising demand for infant solid nutritional supplements is expected to drive demand for methacrylate copolymer during the forecast period. The high cost of production and shortage of raw materials is estimated to limit the market during the forecast period.
However, the expansion of production capacity for basic methacrylate copolymers is expected to boost methacrylate copolymer sales during the forecast period. For example, in 2018, Evonik Industries announced plans to build an additional line for the production of its ACRYLITE-branded PMMA at its Osceola, Arkansas, USA site. The new production line was likely to go live in the first quarter of 2019 in order to double the company's production capacity for methacrylate copolymers.
The emollient characteristic of personal care and cosmetic products makes them advantageous for agents that improve skin conditions as methacrylate copolymer is present. Methacrylate copolymers are also used in cosmetics owing to their qualities such as good moisture protection and taste attenuation.
In the pharmaceutical and food industries, they are often used as coating excipients for mechanical stabilization, moisture protection, and taste or odor masking. This is a factor expected to proliferate the global methacrylate copolymers market in the coming years. Additionally, methacrylate copolymers are used as fillers and extenders in the manufacture of solid oral medicinal products to improve flavor.
