Rising Demand for Epoxy Resins to Propel the Market Growth of Coated Resins

Based on resin type, the increasing demand for epoxy resins from various application sectors is driving the growth of the segment. The adaptability of epoxy resins owing to effective corrosion protection is leading to its use in rapidly developing sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, pulp industry, desulphurisation plants, and water treatment plants. In addition, epoxy resin possesses strong adhesive properties and is utilised in the expanding construction activities worldwide. Epoxy resins are good insulators, and they offer protection from dust, moisture, and short circuits, thus, resulting in the application of epoxy resins in electronics and electrical systems. Furthermore, the growing environmental consciousness among the population is leading to the development of bio-based epoxy resins using renewable resources, such as vegetable oil, furan, lignin, rosin, vanillin, and itaconic acid, for lower ecotoxicity and carbon footprints. In August 2021, Covestro announced the launch of Paint with Nature, a new plant-powered approach to provide education on bio-based raw materials to increase the acceptance of bio-based solutions in the paints and coatings industries. The use of bio-based epoxy resins for applications across diverse sectors is expected to further invigorate the market growth of coated resins.
