Asia
In China, the prices of Butyl Acrylate were ~RMB 7.76/kg in April and ~RMB 7.96/kg in May, showing a ~2.5% increase. The rise was mainly carried by early-quarter cost support from crude and propylene, which lifted producer offers despite weakness in acrylic acid and n-butanol. However, the price strength looked fragile because feedstock pressure faded by May and became clearly bearish in June. Acrylic acid, n-butanol, propylene, and crude all moved lower, reducing the cost floor for butyl acrylate. Downstream demand from adhesives, coatings, and other acrylic ester users stayed cautious, with operating rates near the mid-50% range and buying focused on essential orders.
Europe
Europe’s butyl acrylate market was more policy-supported than demand-supported in Q2 2026. The region faced import-cost risk after the acrylic esters anti-dumping case moved forward and imports of butyl acrylate from several origins became subject to registration from late May. This increased uncertainty for buyers using imported material. However, downstream demand was not strong enough to create a clear bullish cycle. Industrial production rose only slightly in April, while building construction remained weak, limiting consumption from architectural paints, construction adhesives, sealants, and packaging-linked coatings. Trade risk supported sentiment, but weak end-use buying capped stronger movement.
North America
In the United States, the prices of Butyl Acrylate were ~USD 1,224.22/MT in April and ~USD 1,295.03/MT in the following month. The butyl acrylate price curve displayed a ~5.8% increase during the period. The rise was supported by early feedstock strength and export-market uncertainty linked to the European acrylic esters registration process, which reduced flexibility for suppliers targeting Europe. Domestic demand, however, was not strong. Manufacturing output was flat in May after improving in April, and capacity utilization stayed below its long-run average. This kept butyl acrylate demand from coatings, adhesives, sealants, and acrylic polymers steady but not aggressive.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, butyl acrylate prices may face pressure if feedstock weakness continues. Trade-policy risk in Europe could limit downside, but stronger demand is needed for a sustained recovery.

Asia
In Asia, butyl acrylate prices moved upward, supported by higher acrylic acid costs and a firm supply-demand balance during the first quarter of 2026. Rising upstream costs driven by increasing propylene prices strengthened producer pricing power, while limited low-priced availability tightened the market. New capacity additions were absorbed efficiently by downstream demand, particularly from coatings, adhesives, and emulsion applications. In China, steady essential demand and improved cost transmission supported price increases, while in India, supply disruptions linked to Middle East tensions and Strait of Hormuz congestion raised logistics costs and tightened imports. Regional petrochemical supply chains were further impacted, with over forty percent of global polyethylene exports originating from the Middle East facing disruptions, tightening raw material availability across Asia.
Europe
In Europe, butyl acrylate prices followed an upward trajectory due to elevated acrylic acid costs and rising energy and logistics expenses. Supply chain disruptions linked to geopolitical tensions increased freight costs and limited availability, while weak industrial activity in coatings and construction sectors restrained stronger price gains. Producers faced margin pressure as cost increases outpaced demand recovery.
North America
In North America, butyl acrylate prices remained firm, supported by rising feedstock costs and global supply tightening. Strong domestic raw material availability provided relative stability, but global logistics disruptions and cost pressures sustained upward pricing momentum. Demand from coatings, adhesives, and industrial applications remained moderate, preventing excessive price volatility.
Butyl acrylate is a significant acrylic monomer from the acrylic esters group, which is generated from acrylic acid and used to give a wide range of polymers performance qualities.

Via Esterification: In this process, butanol and acrylic acid undergo a reaction in a reactor in the presence of an esterification catalyst. The water produced is entrained via distillation in a column, leaving the desired product, i.e., butyl acrylate.
