Global Epoxy Resin Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Form (Liquid, and Solid), By Application (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants, Composites, Electronic Encapsulation, and Others), By Type, By End-use, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Epoxy Resin Market size is expected to reach $15.9 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 2,804.31 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 5.5% (2019-2022).

Epoxy resin-based composites offer excellent thermal insulation and fire resistance properties, making them suitable for aerospace applications where thermal management and fire safety are critical. Therefore, the Aerospace segment acquired $1,138.2 million revenue in 2022. Also, the US market would utilize 71.01 kilo tonnes of Epoxy resin in the Aerospace segment by 2030. Epoxy composites provide thermal stability, heat resistance, and fire retardancy, protecting aircraft structures and components from high temperatures, flame propagation, and smoke generation.

Epoxy resin-based materials are used in dentistry to fabricate dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Epoxy resins are used as dental composites, adhesives, and cement to bond restorative materials to tooth structures and repair dental cavities. Therefore, the epoxy resin market is expanding significantly due to the growing adoption in healthcare and medical applications.

Additionally, epoxy resin-based composites are also used to construct nacelles and rotor hubs for wind turbines. Nacelles house critical components such as the gearbox, generator, and control systems, while rotor hubs connect the blades to the main shaft. Hence, increasing adoption of renewable energy has been a pivotal factor in driving the growth of the market.

However, Regulatory compliance involves complex administrative processes, reporting obligations, and documentation requirements that can be time-consuming and resource intensive. Epoxy resin companies must navigate regulatory frameworks, interpret legal requirements, and maintain accurate records to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations, standards, and permits. Thus, regulatory compliance can slow down the growth of the market.
