Epoxy Resin Market by Physical Form (Liquids, Solids, Solutions), Raw Materials (Badge, Bfdge, Novolac, Aliphatic, Glycidyl Amine), Application (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants, Composites), End-Use Industry, and Region - Global Forecast to 2028

The Epoxy resin market is projected to reach USD 17.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.5% from USD 12.9 billion in 2023. The combination of growing market trends, increasing application, consumer demand from emerging economies, and advancements in epoxy resins technology are driving the adoption and use of epoxy resins.

“Consumer goods industry accounted for the fastest growth during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

Epoxy resin finds several applications in the consumer goods industry due to its versatile properties, including adhesion, durability, and aesthetics. Epoxy resin is widely used as an adhesive in the consumer goods industry. It provides strong bonding capabilities, allowing it to join different materials, such as plastics, metals, ceramics, and composites. Epoxy adhesives are commonly used in the assembly of various consumer goods, including electronics, appliances, toys, and DIY products.

“DGBEA is expected to be the largest raw material type during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

DGBEA (Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) is a specific type of epoxy resin characterized by its high reactivity, excellent mechanical properties, and thermal stability. It is widely utilized in industries such as electronics, aerospace, automotive, coatings, adhesives, and composites. It is derived from the reaction of bisphenol A (BPA) with epichlorohydrin, resulting in a glycidyl ether structure. Manufacturers typically provide specific instructions regarding the mixing ratios, curing conditions, and safety precautions for using DGBEA epoxy resin to achieve the desired properties and performance in the final product.
