Petroleum resins are nonvolatile polymeric compositions derived from petroleum or coal tar raw materials. They are thermosetting hydrocarbon resins that are solid or semi-solid in form. Petroleum resins are mainly used as binders, modifiers, tackifiers and coatings in a variety of applications such as adhesives, inks, road marking paints, and coatings among others. The global petroleum resins market has been growing steadily over the years owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction, paper, packaging and personal hygiene. The market is expected to continue gaining momentum in the coming years supported by rising infrastructure development activities and growing consumption of packaged goods across the globe.
Market Dynamics:
The key drivers propelling the growth of petroleum resins market are rapid urbanization and infrastructure development activities taking place across both developed and developing economies. The growing construction of roads, buildings and other civic amenities is significantly driving the consumption of adhesives, sealants and other petroleum resin containing products. Furthermore, rising disposable incomes have led to higher spending on packaged consumer goods which in turn is boosting the packaging industry and augmenting the demand for petroleum resins used in packaging applications. However, stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions from petroleum resins-based products may hinder the market growth to some extent. On the positive side, growing R&D investments for developing bio-based and environment-friendly petroleum resins provide huge growth opportunities for market players.
