A method for continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid, comprising the steps of: contacting a mixed gas comprising (meth)acrylic acid, organic by-products, and water vapor, produced by a synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid with water in a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a low concentration discharged at any one point corresponding to 30 to 70 % from the highest part of the absorption tower, and a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a high concentration discharged to the lowest stage of the absorption tower; contacting the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution with an extraction solvent comprising a hydrophobic organic solvent in a (meth)acrylic acid extraction tower to extract (meth)acrylic acid; heating the obtained (meth)acrylic acid extract in a solvent recovery tower to recover the solvent; and distilling the feed excluding the solvent recovered from the (meth)acrylic acid extract and the high concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution in a water separation tower to obtain (meth)acrylic acid, wherein a weight ratio of the extraction solvent to water in the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution fed to the step of extracting (meth)acrylic acid is 2.7 or more, the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution has 50 wt% or less of (meth)acrylic acid, the high concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution has 50 wt% or more of (meth)acrylic acid, and the extraction solvent includes one or more hydrophobic organic solvents selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, xylene, n-heptane, cycloheptane, cycloheptene, 1-heptene, ethyl-benzene, methyl-cyclohexane, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, isobutyl acrylate, n-propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-methyl-1-heptene, 6-methyl-1-heptene, 4-methyl-1-heptene, 2-ethyl-1-hexene, ethylcyclopentane, 2-methyl-1-hexene, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 5-methyl-1-hexene, and isopropyl-butyl-ether. contacting a mixed gas comprising (meth)acrylic acid, organic by-products, and water vapor, produced by a synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid with water in a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a low concentration discharged at any one point corresponding to 30 to 70 % from the highest part of the absorption tower, and a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution of a high concentration discharged to the lowest stage of the absorption tower; contacting the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution with an extraction solvent comprising a hydrophobic organic solvent in a (meth)acrylic acid extraction tower to extract (meth)acrylic acid; heating the obtained (meth)acrylic acid extract in a solvent recovery tower to recover the solvent; and distilling the feed excluding the solvent recovered from the (meth)acrylic acid extract and the high concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution in a water separation tower to obtain (meth)acrylic acid, wherein a weight ratio of the extraction solvent to water in the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution fed to the step of extracting (meth)acrylic acid is 2.7 or more, the low concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution has 50 wt% or less of (meth)acrylic acid, the high concentration (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution has 50 wt% or more of (meth)acrylic acid, and the extraction solvent includes one or more hydrophobic organic solvents selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, xylene, n-heptane, cycloheptane, cycloheptene, 1-heptene, ethyl-benzene, methyl-cyclohexane, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, isobutyl acrylate, n-propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-methyl-1-heptene, 6-methyl-1-heptene, 4-methyl-1-heptene, 2-ethyl-1-hexene, ethylcyclopentane, 2-methyl-1-hexene, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 5-methyl-1-hexene, and isopropyl-butyl-ether. <EOS>
