“Despite the considerable number of growth drivers, the PMMA market faces challenges that could impede market growth,” write BCC Research analysts. “One of the major challenges faced by PMMA manufacturing companies is the waning of demand in Europe due to its rising unemployment rate, overleveraged banks and policy spill overs in currency, all of which are discouraging vendors from investing in European markets. Another challenging factor faced by PMMA manufacturing companies is volatility in raw material prices.”

Hope for the PMMA Market

Despite these challenges, trends such as the growing importance of bio-based PMMA, technological innovations, shift in manufacturing facilities from west to east and increasing demand for PMMA dermal fillers are positively aiding the growth of the market.
