Press Release: Unsaturated Polyester Resins Market is Expected to Surpass US$ 20,109.8 Mn by The End of 2028
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Polyester resin is produced by the polycondensation reaction between polyalcohols and polyacids. Unsaturated polyester resins are mostly used in combination with reinforcing materials such as glass fiber. The unsaturated polyester resin is widely used across a wide range of industries such as Marine, construction, electrical, and transport.
The global unsaturated polyester resin market is estimated to be valued at US$ 11,275.6 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.5 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).
Recent Developments:
In August 2021, an European resins manufacturer named Helios Resins has received ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) for manufacturing a wide variety of unsaturated polyester resins.
In December 2020, owing to extraordinary escalation of UPR raw material prices, Polynt Composites increased prices of unsaturated polyester resins to US$346.41/ton.
In July 2021, a German Chemical Industries Association named Schill+Seilacher GmbH developed an bio-based alternative to petrochemical based unsaturated polyester resins.
Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global unsaturated polyester resin market in 2020, accounting for 53.6% share in terms of volume, followed by North America and Europe, respectively.

Key Takeaways of the Graph:
Market Restraints
The fluctuating price of raw materials used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins is expected to restrict the market growth. Styrene, adipic acid, phthalic anhydride, ethylene glycol, and maleic anhydride are some of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins. Recently there was an upward trend in raw material prices.
Another factor like low recycling property of unsaturated polyester resins is projected to limit the use of these polymers. This is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
Competitive Section:
Company Names
Unsaturated polyester resin means that the polymer compound has no one particular monomer. Unsaturated polyester resin is an extremely versatile material used for a wide variety of products in all industries across the world. One of the most popular uses for unsaturated polyester resin is in the foam and mattress pad market as it has the property to stand up to extreme temperatures (hot and cold) without being damaged.
Market Dynamics:
Rapid growth in the building &construction industry is propelling growth of the unsaturated polyester resin market. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, India is expected to become the third-largest construction market globally by 2022. India plans to spend US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure projects through the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), from 2019 to 2023, to ensure sustainable development in the country.
On the other hand, fluctuating price raw material is expected to restrict growth of the market.
