The dicyclopentadiene market is expected to register healthy growth during the review period. The global dicyclopentadiene market is primarily driven by its extensive use in manufacturing fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP). FRP has replaced conventional structural materials, such as wood and metals, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, weather ability, easy fabrication, and versatility of product design. The ongoing trend of high-strength and lightweight structural materials has resulted in high demand for dicyclopentadiene. Another key driver of the global market is its use in the production of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, further used in seals, gaskets, and O-rings across various end-use industries.

Additionally, The growing construction industry in developing regions, with rising residential and commercial construction, especially in India and China, coupled with improving standards of living and rising disposable incomes, is driving the growth of the dicyclopentadiene market. Increasing spending by the Indian government on infrastructure development, such as the Smart Cities Mission, Green Corridor, and the building of ports, is propelling market growth. Additionally, in late 2013, the Chinese government started the One Belt One Road project for transportation infrastructure development, which is likely to propel the growth of the construction industry, thereby driving the global market.
The Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market segmentation, based on Type, includes Resin Grade, UPR Grade, and Purity. Due to its application in the production of UPR, unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) grade is the largest DCPD product grade category, and this trend is projected to continue in the coming years. Superior color characteristics and fewer trimmers and co-dimers associated with UPR grade offer it an advantage over resin grade. Because of increased industry applications, the high-purity resin product grade is predicted to grow at a faster rate than the industry average over the projection period.
Based on end-use, the Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market segmentation includes Aromatic Industries, Automotive, Building & Construction, Paints, Agrochemicals, and others. It is a low-cost solution that outperforms most composite applications in terms of price vs. performance. In the next five years, hydrocarbon resin is expected to remain the second-largest application in the worldwide Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market, owing to increased usage in adhesives, coatings, printing inks, and rubber goods. Also growing construction activities will help this market is growing.
