Global Unsaturated Polyester Resin Market by Product (DCPD, Orthophthalic, Isophthalic), by End Use (Electrical, Marine, Building & Construction) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

In 2019, the global unsaturated polyester resin market was valued at USD 11.63 trillion. The demand for isophthalic in these segments will likely be driven by recent developments in building and construction, tank and pipes, and other end-use sectors. The market for unsaturated polyester resin will be positively influenced by the increasing use of eco-friendly and energy-saving products.

Market growth will be boosted by ongoing research and development in bio-based unsaturated Polyester resin. They offer excellent strength, recyclability and thermal and corrosion resistance, with a lower thickness. The product's potential applications will be expanded by technological innovations and other studies.

The majority of plastic composites are made from unsaturated polyester resin. Composite materials are increasingly being used in various industries, including construction and transportation, as well as industrial and recreational sports and recreation. Composite materials have many advantages, including low material costs, chemical and corrosion resistance and flexibility in component design. They also offer electrical insulation, which is a significant advantage over conventional materials like concrete and metal components.

Composite materials can be used to make frames, panels, interior parts, and other components for the automotive, transport, agriculture, construction, and agricultural industries. Unsaturated polyester resin composites can be used in the electrical and electronics industries to make microwave antennas, substation equipment and printed wiring boards. They also serve as standoffs, pole hardware, and standoffs. Their wide range of applications is expected to increase their demand during the forecast period.

Product Insights

Orthophthalic was the most profitable product segment in terms of revenue and accounted to over 35% of the unsaturated polyester market in 2019. Because of its mechanical properties, low thermal stability and corrosion resistance, orthophthalic is suitable for many industries. Orthophthalic is lighter in weight, which makes it easier to use and transport.

DCPD is a white crystal compound that results from the separation of C5 petroleum products like naphtha, crude oil, and gas oils. PDCPD is made from DCPD by polymerizing it to create PDCPD. This compound has high deflection temperatures, chemical resistance, and impact resistance.

PDCPD is used mainly for the production of construction machinery, tractors and buses. The segment's growth is expected to be boosted by the increasing use of DCPD in marine applications, such as recreational boats. This is due to its low resin shrinkage and lack of fiber. Additionally, DCPD's low VOC emissions and high styrene levels will likely fuel its demand as an alternative to orthophthalic resin over the next few years.

End-use Insights

Unsaturated polyester resin is being increasingly used in the construction and building industry as reinforcement, roofing, concrete and composites of house structures, factories, buildings and mass transit applications. The global construction market has been influenced by the Middle East and BRICS countries. This will lead to an increase in demand for unsaturated resin over the forecast period.

Fiber reinforced plastic pipes and tanks have seen an increase in demand due to rising concerns about corrosion of metal pipes and tanks, as well as the increasing importance of tank farm management in offshore and onshore oil and gas applications. Over the next eight years, UPR market growth is expected to be accelerated by a growing demand for fiber reinforced plastic pipes and tanks.

Additionally, the increasing number of offshore drilling for crude oil, which is more susceptible to corrosion in Brazil, the Middle East and other countries, will likely increase the use fiber reinforced plastic in the future. The market will see a rise in demand for unsaturated polyester composite material in printed circuit board (PCBs) in the near future due to their exceptional properties like unsurpassed rigidity and durability.

The market for UPR is predicted to grow due to rising demand for UPR in solder pallets and speaker housings as well as reinforced cell phones. The availability of alternative polymers resins such as epoxy resin or nylon for composites manufacturing will likely limit the demand for UPR for electrical end uses.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the dominant market for UPR in 2019, with a revenue share exceeding 57.0%. The growth of major end-use industries like construction, electronics, transport, and marine is driving the market. The strong manufacturing base in China, Japan and India, as well as increased passenger vehicle sales, will likely drive the UPR market's growth in the near future.

Additionally, the government of India has implemented favorable policies like Make in India and foreign direct investment (FDI). These policies are expected to provide ample growth opportunities for the automobile industry. This will in turn increase the use of unsaturated polyester resin in automotive applications.

The North American market for unsaturated polyester resins is driven primarily by the expansion in electronics, construction, and manufacturing. UPR and UPR based composites are widely used in the construction and building sector, as well as in other applications like tanks and pipes.

The market for North America is forecast to benefit from the recovery of the region's construction industry, which will be attributed to the increasing demand for nonresidential construction projects like schools, hospitals, and colleges.

Market Share in Unsaturated Polyester Resin

To maintain product quality and increase regional reach, most of the major players in the UPR market have merged their production and distribution operations. These initiatives give companies a competitive edge in the form cost savings, which increases the profit margin. Companies engage in mergers and acquisitions, as well as research and development activities, to create new products that will sustain market competition and change the needs of end-users.

In the next few years, the industry will accept new materials that combine multiple properties through research. INEOS and BASF SE are some of the most prominent companies that manufacture these products. Ltd., Satyen Polymers Pvt. Ltd. Dow, UPC Group. Scott Bader Company Ltd. Tianhe Resin Co. Ltd. and LERG SA.
