Report Detail

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Copolymer of Maleic and Acylic Acid market size was valued at US$ 161 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 211 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.0% during review period.
Maleic Acid-Acrylic Acid Copolymer (MA/AA) is a low-molecular-weight polyelectrolyte produced through the copolymerization of maleic acid and acrylic acid. It is primarily utilized in industrial water treatment as a scale inhibitor and dispersant; it exhibits strong dispersing capabilities against carbonate scale and possesses high thermal stability (withstanding temperatures up to 300°C). Typically, it is employed in combination with other water treatment agents.
The key upstream raw materials are maleic anhydride and acrylic acid. Maleic anhydride is primarily derived from the oxidation of benzene or n-butane, whereas acrylic acid relies heavily on the supply of propylene—a downstream product of crude oil refining. Midstream manufacturers copolymerize these two monomers using aqueous solution polymerization techniques. The critical aspects of this process involve adjusting the monomer ratio and controlling the molecular weight.
In 2025, global sales volume is projected to reach approximately 120,000 tons, with an average selling price of around $1,300 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin typically hovers in the range of 20% to 30%.
The development of the maleic acid-acrylic acid copolymer industry is primarily driven by the dual forces of tightening global environmental regulations and technological innovation in downstream industries. First, the continued global implementation of policies banning or restricting phosphorus use has compelled a large-scale shift in detergent formulations toward organic polymeric carboxylates—exemplified by MA/AA—thereby establishing a solid foundational market for the industry. Second, the trend toward operating industrial circulating water systems at higher concentration ratios has significantly boosted the demand for high-performance scale inhibitors and dispersants per unit volume. Furthermore, the textile printing and dyeing industry's demand for increasingly sophisticated processing aids, coupled with the robust growth in demand for heat-resistant scale inhibitors in shale oil and gas extraction, collectively serve as key drivers for the industry's upward trajectory. In the future, the industry's core competitiveness will no longer depend solely on production capacity; rather, it will hinge on the precise control of molecular weight distribution and the stability of performance under extreme operating conditions—such as ultra-high temperatures and high water hardness.
