Existing acrylate emulsions are primarily derived from petroleum-based raw materials，while bio-based acrylate emulsions prepared from renewable resources have gained rapid development based on the dual carbon national goals and the need for sustainable development. This article mainly describes on the preparation methods of cellulose，lignin，vegetable oil，rosin，and other bio-based acrylate emulsions，summarizes the latest application research progress of bio-based acrylate emulsions in coatings，adhesives，and other fields，and demonstrates the significant advantages of bio-based acrylate emulsions in enhancing the product environmental friendliness and reducing carbon footprints. It points out the main 
issues faced by bio-based acrylate latexes，including high raw material costs，immature production technology，and poor product performance. Finally，it looks forward to the development prospects of bio-based acrylate emulsions in products that are high bio-based content，high-performing，and multifunctional.
