2. Synthetic thickeners Production and Price Overview Historical Growth Rates and Past Performance In 2025, annual synthetic thickeners production reached around 1.25 millionMT, marking a 3.5% rise from 2024. The synthetic thickeners price currently sits at $1,900/MT. Historically, output climbed steadily from 1.0 millionMT in 2021 to 1.25 millionMT in 2025—an average annual gain of 7%. Over the same timeframe, synthetic thickeners price moved from $1,450/MT in 2021 to $1,900/MT now, increasing by about $112/MT per year. Production growth was 4.0% in 2022, 6.8% in 2023, and 3.5% in 2024. Corresponding yearly synthetic thickeners price increases were $130/MT, $90/MT and $160/MT. This alignment indicates strong demand across paints, adhesives, & personal care. The 2025 synthetic thickeners production and synthetic thickeners price snapshot confirms a resilient, upward trend in the industry. 02 Request a sample at - https://datavagyanik.com/reports/global-synthetic-thickeners-market-size-production-sales-average-product-price-market-share- import-vs-export-united-states-europe-apac-latin-america-middle-east-africa/

3. Key Factors Impacting Synthetic thickeners Prices in 2025 In 2025, the synthetic thickeners price has reached $1,900/MT due to specific cost drivers and supply adjustments. Propylene prices increased by 14% compared to 2024, raising the synthetic thickeners price by $175/MT alone. Power and utility bills surged by 10%, adding approximately $60/MT. Supply chain challenges persisted into Q2, especially in Asia and Europe, driving freight surcharges and contributing $40/MT to the synthetic thickeners price.Capacity utilization dropped slightly to 86% after routine shutdowns in March and April 2025, reducing market output by 5%. This constraint added further pricing pressure, reflected in the elevated synthetic thickeners price. Simultaneously, construction sectors grew by 5–6%, tightening availability. Regulatory costs from stricter EU chemical safety laws added roughly $30/MT to the synthetic thickeners price, due to additional labeling, testing, and compliance requirements.As all these quantifiable factors converge, the rise in the synthetic thickeners price during 2025 is a clear result of cost increases and operational constraints across the value chain. demand in adhesives and 03

4. MARKET SEGMENTATION Segmentation by Geography The 2025 synthetic thickeners market is clearly divided by formulation type, industry use, and region. In terms of formulation, associative thickeners represent 48% of market volume, urethane-based types cover 28%, and acrylic variants make up the remaining 24%. Industry-wise, major consumers include architectural and industrial coatings (40%), adhesives and sealants (25%), personal care (15%), textiles and others (20%). Associative grades are preferred in paints due to their viscosity control and easy formulation. Urethane-based options excel in demanding environments like adhesives and oilfield services. Acrylic thickeners are widely used in personal care products due to their low cost and mild rheology. By region, Asia-Pacific dominates the landscape with 55% of global demand, equating to about 687,500 MT. North America contributes 22% (275,000 MT), followed by Europe at 18% (225,000 MT), and Latin America and MEA at 5% combined. Total synthetic thickeners consumption across all sectors is estimated at 1.25 million MT in 2025. Coatings use 500,000 MT, adhesives and sealants 312,500MT, personal care 187,500MT, and other industries account for the balance. 04 This breakdown highlights the diverse utility of synthetic thickeners and how market demand varies by function, formulation, and geography. Industry players adapt their portfolios accordingly to maintain supply efficiency and competitive positioning across regional markets.
