Driver

Rising demand for paints and coatings

One of the main factors driving the global epoxy resin market is the rising demand for paints and coatings. Products made from epoxy resin dry quickly and provide the building sector superior finishes. Concrete floor paint, floor paint, and epoxy primers employ paints to increase the adherence of automotive and marine components, these coatings are included into primers. Therefore, it is anticipated that the rising demand for paints and coatings would support the expansion of the global epoxy resin market.

Market Opportunities

The rising demand for bio-based components

Entropy Resins, Greenpoxy, and Resin Studies Bio Epoxy have commercially manufactured bio-based resins that include 20- 50bio-based factors, according on the epoxy resin system. Because of the rising need for continuity in epoxy resin end- use sectors, the occasion for bio-based products can help to grow over the cast period .Epoxy resin manufacturers are increasing their output capacity to grow and capitalize on the revenue prospects in the aviation and construction industries. To fulfil the demands of clients and consumers in the aviation and construction sectors. This is obvious since epoxy resins improve the durability of coating and paint compositions.

Market Restraints

Raw Material Pricing Volatility to Restrict the Market Growth

Epoxies are manufactured from petroleum-based raw materials, such as BPA & ECH. Thus, fluctuation in crude oil prices significantly affects the prices of these raw materials and further the costs of epoxy resins. The fluctuating prices affect the profit margin and it negatively impacts the small scaled manufacturers. Moreover, the stringent regulations on volatile organic compounds led manufacturers to keep product quality up to a certain level. This, in turn, additionally costs the manufacturers in terms of skilled manpower & updated technologies. During COVID-19, the changed supply-demand scenario followed by lesser production has led to increased raw material prices in 2025. As a result, leading manufacturers announced a significant increase in epoxy prices in 2025.
