Analysts’ Viewpoint on Epoxy Resins Market Scenario

Manufacturers are enabling a balanced relationship with suppliers and ecosystem partners to tide over uncertainties during the COVID-19 crisis. The burgeoning growth of the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is translating into value-grab opportunities for stakeholders in the epoxy resins market. Innovative epoxy resin formulations have many advantages as compared to traditional cement. However, few limitations such as temperature sensitivity affect the speed of the reaction of the epoxy resin with other curing agents. Hence, companies should design polymer resins as per specific downhole conditions. Companies should increase the production of epoxy resins that are used in the paint industry due to its advantages of providing a tough protective layer on substrates and helping paints to dry-off quickly.

Sustainable Coating Resins Becoming Differentiating Factor to Rise Above Competition

Since paints, coatings, adhesives, and other epoxy resin-integrated products are virtually present in all end-use industries such as wind energy, electronics, and consumer products, manufacturers are bullish on making profits. However, the highly competitive nature of the epoxy resins market is compelling manufacturers to seek a differentiating factor to rise above their competitors. Hence, companies are entering into mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and unlocking growth opportunities in sustainable coating resins to boost their credibility credentials.

Manufacturers are concentrating on broadening their product portfolio to tap value-grab opportunities in applications, including metal protection, plastic tooling, and lightweight composites for the automotive industry. They are investing in R&D to develop highly versatile epoxy resins that are a useful group of chemicals employed in various industrial applications. Epoxy resins are being publicized in the construction of aircraft, watercraft, and automobiles.

Bio-based Epoxy Resins V/S Conventional Resins: Which is Better?

The epoxy resins market is positioned to grow at a favorable CAGR throughout the assessment tenure. However, a major factor that can work against the class of bio-based epoxy resins is that they have less tensile strength and malleability than their fossil fuel-derived counterparts. Hence, the usage of these products might not find an increased acceptance in a world which is ready to accept sustainable materials at the cost of efficiency and productiveness. Yet, research is on for high tensile-strength in bio-based epoxy resins and this would help to counteract the current restraints.

Bio-based epoxy resins hold promising potentials to establish a circular economy.
