Unsaturated Polyester Resins Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product, Form (Liquid Form and Powder Form), End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2

The global unsaturated polyester resins market size is expected to reach USD 12.34 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Unsaturated Polyester Resins Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product, Form (Liquid Form and Powder Form), End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The growing demand for unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) in the building and construction sector is driven by the expansion of infrastructure projects, especially in emerging markets. UPR is used extensively in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility. As construction activities grow in regions like Asia Pacific, UPR’s role in enhancing material performance in harsh environments is gaining prominence. This trend is further supported by the increasing focus on sustainable building practices and the need for cost-effective, high-performance materials.

UPR is increasingly being adopted in the automotive and transportation industries, particularly for lightweight composite materials used in vehicle components. This shift is driven by the need for improved fuel efficiency and the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), which prioritize lightweight materials for better performance. UPR’s strength-to-weight ratio and durability make it ideal for automotive parts such as body panels, bumpers, and interior components. As manufacturers focus on reducing vehicle weight to enhance energy efficiency, UPR-based composites offer a sustainable solution.
