Resin Market: Growth and Trends
Resin is generally a solid or highly viscous substance either derived from a plant source or manufactured synthetically in a laboratory. Naturally, resins and related resinous products are produced in plants during normal growth or secreted as a result of injury to the plants. Several resin manufacturing processes are used to manufacture resinous materials and in transforming them into final products. The rise in demand for such products from various end-use sectors is fueling the market growth of resin.The resin market is a pivotal part of the global chemical and materials industry, and its growth and trends can be indicative of broader economic and technological developments. Further, advanced resin technology research helps to enhance product performance, making it more and more suitable to use in high-performance applications.
The constant development of resins can result in thermal stability improvements, chemical resistance, and greater mechanical strength. This is helping in increasing the applicational areas of resin in industries including aerospace, electronics, smart textiles, and medical devices. Overall, considering these factors, the resin market is anticipated to experience significant growth during this forecast period.
Resin Market: Key Segments
Market Share by Type of Resin
Based on type of resin, the global resin market is segmented into acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, epoxy, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone and others. According to our estimates, currently, the polyethylene segment captures the majority of the market share.This growth can be attributed to its versatility, affordability, and extensive use across various industries. It is extensively employed because of its compatibility with different processing methods, making it appropriate for a wide range of applications such as packaging materials, pipes, and plastic bottles
