Global Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 600 million in 2025 to US$ 747 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2026 to 2032.

Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (abbreviated as HEMA), is a Colorless transparent liquid with the molecular formula of C6H10O3 and CAS number 868-77-9. HEMA is the monomer that is mainly employed to fabricate acrylic resin, acrylic coatings, textile agent, adhesive and the additive of decontaminating and lubricant.

The global Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate industry has a rather high concentration. The major manufacturers are concentrated in United States, Europe, China and Japan, such as Mitsubishi Rayon, Evonik, Dow, Geo and Nippon Shokubai. At present, Mitsubishi Rayon is the world leader, holding 22% production market share. The global 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate consumption market is led by United States and United States is the largest region consumption market, accounting for about 29% of global consumption of Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate. Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate downstream is wide and recently Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate has acquired increasing significance in various fields of Coatings, Reactive Resins, Adhesives, and others. Globally, the Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate market is mainly driven by growing demand for Coatings and Reactive Resins. Coatings and Reactive Resins accounts for nearly 67% of total downstream consumption of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate in global. 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate can be mainly divided into 93%≤Purity＜97%, 97%≤Purity＜99% and 99%≤Purity which 97%≤Purity＜99% captures about 49% of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate market.
