According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA) market size was valued at US$ 87.98 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 104 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 2.4% during review period.
2-Ethylhexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA), is a main methacrylic ester and polymerizable monomer. 2-EHMA is produced for the use as a building block to make a wide range of polymer based products that we see and use every day from paints and coatings, toners and inks, oil additives to dental and medical products to name but a few. 2-EHMA is of low concern to human health and the environment. It is classified as hazardous (skin irritant and sensitizing) but has been handled safely by industry and professionals for over 60 years. In 2024, global 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA) production reached approximately 21968 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 3774 per MT.
The 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate (2-EHMA) market occupies an important role within the specialty acrylates segment, primarily used as a key monomer in the production of adhesives, coatings, sealants, and plastics. Its long, flexible side chain imparts softness, weather resistance, and excellent adhesion properties to polymers, making it especially valuable in applications requiring durability and flexibility, such as pressure-sensitive adhesives, automotive coatings, and architectural finishes. Demand is closely tied to downstream industries like construction, automotive, and packaging, which rely on advanced acrylic-based formulations to meet performance and regulatory standards. Environmental and performance advantages, such as low volatility and resistance to UV degradation, further support its adoption in high-performance coatings and sealants.
On the supply side, production of 2-EHMA is concentrated among a limited number of global chemical manufacturers with strong integration into methacrylate value chains. Asia-Pacific is the largest consuming region due to rapid industrialization, growing construction activity, and the expansion of automotive and electronics manufacturing, while North America and Europe maintain steady demand with a focus on specialty coatings and sustainable adhesives. Market growth is influenced by regulatory trends emphasizing low-VOC and environmentally friendly materials, driving innovation in waterborne and UV-curable formulations. Looking ahead, steady expansion is expected as demand for high-performance adhesives, coatings, and polymer modifiers rises, particularly in emerging markets and advanced material applications.
