Synopsis
The global market for 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) was estimated to be worth US$ 10.7 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 13.5 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) is a clear water white liquid and acrylic acid ester, for manufacturing polymers and for use as a feedstock for syntheses. It is used for automotive painting. It helps protect against hardness and anit-rust, as well as offers good color, flatness, smoothness, brightness, and gloss. Through the investigation and research team in-depth study of each company's 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, the content is commonly above 95%min. Besides, it is mainly synthesized by 1,4-butanediol and acrylate with catalyst. As for its downstream applications, there is also no obvious gap for its purity. Thus, classification of 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) has been omitted in the report.
Global 4-HBA (4-Hydroxybutyl Acrylate) key players include BASF, Osaka Organic Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical.
In recent years, the demand for 4-HBA has steadily increased due to the growth in high-performance coatings, UV-curable materials, and specialty adhesives. Key application areas include:
UV/EB-curable coatings and inks
High-adhesion pressure-sensitive and structural adhesives
The 4-HBA market is expected to continue its upward trend, driven by:
Stricter environmental regulations, encouraging the use of low-VOC and waterborne coatings with high-reactivity monomers.
Rising adoption of UV-curing technologies, especially in emerging fields like electronics, packaging, and 3D printing.
Despite its growth potential, the 4-HBA industry faces several challenges:
Dependence on petrochemical feedstocks, leading to cost volatility (e.g., acrylic acid and 1,4-butanediol).
High technical barriers, as the product requires high purity and precise control over side reactions.
Safety and logistics concerns, due to its flammability and storage sensitivity.
