For the period 2021 to 2028, the global epoxy resin market is predicted to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 percent.
The market for paints and coatings is expected to increase at a rapid pace during the next several years. Due to an increasing need for epoxy resins, mainly in North America and the Western European countries, there has been an increase in demand for epoxy resins. It is projected that the fast expansion of global manufacturing operations would fuel demand for paints and coatings used in the production of automobiles and other durable goods, as well as industrial maintenance. As a result, product demand is predicted to rise around the globe.
The copolymerization of an epoxide with another chemical containing two hydroxyl groups results in epoxy resin, a thermosetting polymer. As a result of qualities including corrosion resistance, high thermal stability and exceptional mechanical strength, these resins are widely used in a wide range of industrial applications. They are also recognised for their outstanding adhesion. In this way the paint and coatings, adhesive, composite, and electronic encapsulating sectors all use epoxy resins to some extent.
