Some of the polymer emulsion companies profiled in this report include DIC, Dow Chemical, BASF, Arkema, Celanese, Trinseo, Lubrizol, Wacker Chemie, Synthomer, and Asahi Kasei.
Lucintel forecasts that acrylics will remain the largest type segment over the forecast period, as it has properties, such as low VOC (volatile organic compounds) emission, excellent durability, versatility, and it is used to prepare polymers with rigid, flexible, ionic, nonionic, hydrophobic, or hydrophilic properties. 
Within this market, paints & coatings will remain the largest application segment over the forecast period due to excellent durability & high water resistance of polymer emulsion and increasing demand for architectural paints, deck & trim paints, & elastomeric wall coatings.
Asia Pacific will remain the largest region, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to rapid expansion of building & construction, availability of skilled labor at lower wages, presence of major polymer emulsion manufacturers, and stringent government regulations related to VOC (volatile organic compounds) emission in the region.
