Epoxy Resin Industry Overview

The global epoxy resin market size was estimated at USD 11.25 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030.

Increasing demand for paints and coatings is anticipated to drive market growth significantly during the forecast period. Increasing demand for epoxy resins is attributed to growing spending on construction, particularly residential construction, especially in North America and Western Europe. The rapid growth in global manufacturing activities is expected to fuel the demand for paints coatings used in the production of motor vehicles and other durable goods, as well as industrial maintenance applications. This is expected to boost the demand for epoxy resins globally.

Asia Pacific has been the leading consumer of epoxy resins, fueled by increasing demand from China and India. Infrastructure development, along with increasing automotive production, has fueled paints coatings demand in the region. Increasing disposable income and willingness to spend are expected to drive the market over the coming years.

In the recent past, global automotive production increased rapidly due to growing demand from middle-class families and rising disposable income across emerging nations such as China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, and others. The rise in automotive demand propelled the consumption of paints coatings across the automotive industry, thereby fueling the demand for epoxy resins. However, volatile raw material price of epoxy resin is expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.

In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the demand for epoxy resin in various applications, including paints coatings, adhesives, wind turbines, and others, owing to the stalled manufacturing activities, restrictions in supply and transportation, and economic slowdown across the globe in 2020. Moreover, the recommencing industrial operation is projected to positively influence the market demand in the coming years.

Market Concentration Characteristics

The market space is moderately consolidated with the presence of key companies, such as 3M, Aditya Birla Management Corp. Pvt. Ltd, BASF SE, and Sika AG. These companies adopt various strategic initiatives, such as new product launches, partnerships, capacity expansions, and collaborations, to expand their presence in the market. For instance, in March 2024, Safic-Alcan announced its expansion by collaborating with BB Resins Srl. BB Resins Srl is a manufacturer of epoxy resin hardeners, which boasts an extensive range of products specifically designed for the coatings, construction, and adhesives sectors. With this collaboration, Safic-Alcan aims to expand its business across Poland.

The industry is characterized by a high degree of innovation. Technological advancement, upgradation of electronic products, and circuit assembly have propelled PCB fabrication technology toward micro via, fine-trace, high-density tracing, and multi-layers. The usage of epoxy resins enhances thermal dissipation, dimensional stability, and dielectric loss, therefore, propelling the demand for epoxy resins in the manufacture of CCL. In recent years, the electronic industry has grown rapidly, thereby increasing the demand for PCBs across the globe.

In addition, stringent regulations shape the market’s demand and supply dynamics. Stricter regulations on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous substances can limit the use of certain raw materials and formulations. This can lead to a shift in market preferences towards eco-friendly and compliant products. For instance, the European Union’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation requires comprehensive data on the safety of chemical substances, pushing manufacturers to innovate and produce safer epoxy resin formulations
