Epoxy Tooling Board Market Report 2025

The epoxy tooling board market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $9.02 billion in 2024 to $9.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to increasing demand in the aerospace sector, rising use in automotive applications, expansion in marine industries, greater adoption in prototyping, and its cost-effectiveness compared to metal alternatives.

The epoxy tooling board market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by increasing automation in manufacturing, rising demand for precision tooling, expansion in the renewable energy sector, stricter industry regulations, and growing investments in research and development. Key trends expected during this period include a shift toward sustainable materials, integration with digital manufacturing, advancements in composite manufacturing, innovations in 3D printing, and the growth of custom tooling solutions.

The growth of the automotive industry is expected to drive the expansion of the epoxy tooling board market in the coming years. The automotive sector includes businesses involved in the creation, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, making it a crucial global revenue-generating industry. The automotive sector is expanding due to rising demand, innovations in electric and autonomous vehicles, government support for green technologies, and higher urban incomes. Epoxy tooling boards are used in the automotive industry to create durable and precise molds, patterns, and prototypes for vehicle components. For example, in October 2022, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts, an Australian government department, reported that by January 31, 2022, there were 20.7 million registered motor vehicles, a 2% increase from January 2021. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for about 40,000 units, a 100% increase from 2021, with 34,200 of them being passenger cars, up by 118% from the previous year. Hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) reached approximately 277,000 in 2022, reflecting a 35% increase from 2021. As a result, the growing automotive industry is driving the demand for epoxy tooling boards.

Key players in the epoxy tooling board market are focusing on advancements in material technology, such as toughened epoxy systems, to enhance durability, improve thermal stability, and provide superior surface finishes. Toughened epoxy systems are epoxy resins that are enhanced with additives such as rubbers, thermoplastics, or nanoparticles to improve toughness, impact resistance, and durability, while maintaining mechanical strength and thermal stability. For example, in September 2024, Base Materials Ltd., a UK-based manufacturing company, introduced BE890, a durable, toughened epoxy tooling board designed for advanced composite master models, direct-to-part applications, short-run productions, and prototypes. Tailored for industries such as automotive and aerospace, BE890 offers superior surface finishes with minimal sealing requirements.

In May 2022, Gurit Holding, a Switzerland-based chemicals company, acquired a 60% stake in Fiberline Composites A/S for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Gurit to expand its capabilities in composite materials for wind turbines and strengthens its position in the market to meet the growing demand for renewable energy. Fiberline Composites A/S, based in Denmark, specializes in the production of composite resins used in epoxy tooling boards.

Epoxy tooling board is a high-density, rigid board made from epoxy resin and fillers, designed for producing durable and precise molds, patterns, and prototypes. It offers exceptional dimensional stability, heat resistance, and machinability, making it a preferred choice for applications in aerospace, automotive, and composite manufacturing.

The primary types of epoxy tooling boards include standard density, high-density, low-density, and flexible boards. Standard density boards provide a well-balanced combination of strength, durability, and ease of machining. Tooling applications include rapid prototyping tools, production tools, and composite tools. The materials used in these boards include polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, phenolic resin, and epoxy resin, with thickness options ranging from less than 10 mm to more than 30 mm. Key application sectors for epoxy tooling boards include aerospace and defense, automotive, marine, wind energy, and other industries.
