Thermoset Resin Market Segment Analysis - By Type

The epoxy resin segment held the largest share in the thermoset resin market in 2019, owing to its superior characteristics such as durability, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, strong chemical resistance, and wearability. The major advantage of epoxy adhesives is that they are suitable for bonding nearly all substrates such as metal, plastic, glass and ceramic, wood and wood products, and many types of rubber. Also, they have high resistance to physical and chemical influences and in addition, they have high long-term stability because they only have a limited tendency to undergo creep. Depending on the type, they can withstand continuous temperatures from 200oF (95°C) up to 390oF (200°C). These extensive characteristics of epoxy resins are anticipated to boost the demand for epoxy-based thermoset resin during the forecast period.

Thermoset Resin Market Drivers

Growing Wind Power Sector

As a consequence of the drastic increase in energy demand, the conventional sources of energy are depleting very fast. Hence, the need to expand and utilize renewable energy sources like wind power is growing. Thermoset resin such as epoxy and vinyl are being extensively used to build longer and more durable composite wind turbine blades and spar caps. The wind power sector is increasing, as the use of renewable energy sources results in less emission of greenhouse and other harmful gases such as SO2. The modern wind turbine is being increasingly used in the wind power sector as they are cost-effective, more reliable, and have scaled up in size to multi-megawatt power ratings. Due to the increasing adoption of wind power energy source, the demand for thermoset resins is also increasing. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. electricity demand will grow by 39% from 2005 to 2030, reaching 5.8 billion MWh by 2030. The 20% wind scenario would require delivery of nearly 1.16 billion MWh of wind energy in 2030. To meet 20% of that demand, U.S. wind power capacity would have to reach more than 300 gigawatts (GW) or more than 300,000 megawatts (MW). This growth represents an increase of more than 290 GW within 23 years. Thus, the growing adoption of wind power is leading the entire nation toward self-sufficiency and energy independence and in addition is boosting the thermoset resin market, which acts as a driver for the thermoset resin market during the forecast period.

Increase In Automotive Production

Thermoset resins are being extensively used in the automotive industries for manufacturing car components such as pump parts, pulleys, pistons, carbon brush holders, electrical endplates, wheel, panels, vacuum pumps, water pump housings, pedals, and electrical encapsulation. Composites made with thermoset resins can be 30-40% lighter than aluminum and deliver very high heat tolerance and fatigue resistance, which is expected to increase the demand for thermoset resin during the forecast period. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), the Chinese government is expecting that automobile production will reach 35 million units by 2025. In 2017, 1.2 million new passenger cars, SUVs, and commercial vehicles were sold in the Australian market, an increase of 0.9% from 2016. Also, according to OICA, the production of light commercial vehicles has increased by 10.2 % in 2018 in the APAC region. According to OICA, the production of light commercial vehicles has increased from 2,249,348 in 2018 to 2,254,153 in 2019, an increase of 0.2% in Europe. Thus, the increasing automation production will require more thermoset resin which will act as a driver for the thermoset resin market.

Thermoset Resin Market Challenges

Environmental Concerns Over Thermoset Resins

Environmental concerns pose major challenges for the thermoset resins market as thermoset resins cannot be re-processed and recycled, and can neither be decomposed naturally. In many applications, thermosets are the materials of choice for long-term use because they are insoluble and infusible high-density networks. Recycling of thermosetting polymers is regarded as one of the urgent problems to be settled because of its technological difficulty. The increased production of thermoset blends and composites in recent years has greatly increased the number of waste materials. However, thermoplastics are recyclable and they can be repeatedly melted and remolded into new products. Thus, these environmental concerns over thermoset resins may hinder with the thermoset resin market growth during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact on The Thermoset Resin Market
