Modified Epoxy Resins Market Trends

Global Modified Epoxy Resins Market Overview

Asia Pacific holds the major share of the market and is expected to be the fastest growing region with an 5.30% CAGR.Epoxy resins or polyepoxides are a type of reactive polymers and they contain epoxide groups. Epoxy resins are reacted or cross-linked either with themselves or with a variety of co-reactants such as polyfunctional amines, acids, phenols, thiols, and alcohols. The reaction between epoxy resin and other co-reactants forms thermosetting polymers with enhanced chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and temperature, which are also referred as modified epoxy resin. Modified epoxy resin offer various properties such as improved peel strength, better thermal shock resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, among others. These properties pave the way for modified epoxy resins in many end-user industries such as automobile, building and construction, aerospace, marine, and others. Modified epoxy resin are extensively used as adhesives and sealants owing to excellent heat resistance and durability. The growing automotive, building and construction industries in the developing countries are the major factors contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, due to enhanced strength, high modulus, and lightweight of modified epoxy resins are also employed in the aerospace industries. Moreover, they act as a binding agent in the manufacturing of polymer concrete. The low viscosity increases a high degree of filling and processability of the polymer concrete. 

Among the various product segments in modified epoxy resins market, the paint and coating application segment is the leading segment of the market and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The enhanced heat resistance and weather resistance qualities finds its application in many industries such as automotive, building and construction, aerospace among
