Waterborne Epoxy Resin Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product type (High molecular weight., Low molecular weight), By Application (Adhesives, Composites, Coating, Others), By End-use industry (Construction, Automotive, Textile, Packaging) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Epoxy resins are adhesives that can be employed to weld two materials and are also included as  coatings. Epoxy resins are polymer matrix which are typically comprised of two epoxy groups. Epoxy resins, polyepoxides, can be categorized on the basis of their molecular mass and may be divided into  low or higher molecular weight polymers. Raw materials needed for the manufacture of epoxy resins are actually extracted from  naphtha. Epoxy resin is copolymerized to a wide variety of hardeners by homopolymerisation catalytic, creating a thermoplastic polymer with improving control and temperature tolerance and good mechanical properties. 

Waterborne epoxy resins are environmentally friendly due to zero VOCs emission. Due to which these resins are widely used in coatings and adhesives industry. This has led to a high demand for the market.

However, The prices of waterborne epoxy resins are high in comparison to epoxy resins. On the other hand, the production of alternatives Bisphenol A and novolac resins is still very low. Since the waterborne epoxy resins production is quite low, this acts as the major barrier to the waterborne epoxy resins market.

ocessing and disposal of such goods are anticipated to limit the market growth.

Regional Analysis:

In terms of Geography, the waterborne epoxy resin market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific has always been a massive market for waterborne epoxy resins  in terms of demand. This region has the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world.  Continuous advances in the automotive  industries have generated a tremendous demand for compact and fuel-efficient vehicles. As a result of its huge market and rapid economic development, it has a comparatively high growth rate than other areas.  Growth is due to the rising utilisation of composites in numerous applications such as automotive & transport,  electronics, aerospace, and the wind industry. There is also tight control of VOC emissions in the North American region. Architectural and industrial maintenance (AIM) coatings passed a law to reduce emissions from VOCs. Market growth is strongly influenced by strict European regulations that include limiting emissions of volatile organic compounds in order to minimize the significant impact of VOCs on health and the environment by setting certain emission limits. Middle East and Africa are predicted to face steady growth in the market. The demand in this region is boosted mainly due to the growing end-use industries for the waterborne epoxy resin. Latin America is seeing relatively slow growth since the waterborne epoxy resins production is quite low, this acts as the major barrier to the waterborne epoxy resins market.
