According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Acrylic Acid Catalyst market size was valued at US$ 1485 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2793 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.0% during review period.
In 2025, global output of acrylic acid catalysts reaches 78 thousand tons, with an average selling price of USD 18,500 per ton, total production capacity of 95 thousand tons, and a gross margin of 34%.
Acrylic acid catalysts are key functional materials used in the gas-phase oxidation of propylene (or propane), enabling the conversion of feedstock into acrolein and further into acrylic acid. These catalysts are typically composed of multi-component metal oxide systems (such as Mo-Bi and Mo-V systems), featuring high selectivity, high activity, and excellent thermal stability. They are essential consumable materials in industrial acrylic acid production units.
The acrylic acid catalyst market is closely tied to downstream demand for acrylic acid and its derivatives (such as butyl acrylate and superabsorbent polymers), showing steady growth overall. Global capacity is mainly concentrated in large chemical companies (e.g., BASF, Arkema, Nippon Shokubai) and a limited number of specialized catalyst suppliers, with high technical barriers. With stricter environmental regulations and the trend toward large-scale production units, high-performance, long-lifetime, and low by-product catalysts are becoming key development directions, while catalysts for propane-based routes are also gaining increasing attention.
