Epoxy Market Opportunities and Growth Prospects: Size, Shares, and Key Drivers Forecast till 2031

Straits Research, a prominent global market research and consulting firm, has released a new report highlighting the significant growth of the global epoxy market. The market, valued at USD 7.18 billion in 2023, is expected to expand from USD 7.63 billion in 2024 to USD 12.55 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during the forecast period (2024–2032). This growth is attributed to the rising demand for epoxy resins in key industries such as construction, automotive, and paints & coatings, along with the material's exceptional adhesive properties, durability, and versatility.

Market Definition and Overview

Epoxy resins are a type of polymer material derived from the chemical reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A. Known for their excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and high strength, epoxy resins have become indispensable in a wide array of applications, ranging from paints and coatings to construction and automotive sectors. Epoxies are also used in the production of adhesives, electrical systems, and as a base for composite materials.
