• Key companies: Global specialty chemical producers and sustainable materials innovators
Market Momentum
The Epoxy Curing Agent Market begins at USD 4.06 billion in 2026, supported by REACH-driven reformulation cycles and sustained demand from construction flooring, protective coatings, aerospace composites, and wind energy.
Between 2028 and 2030, expansion of offshore wind projects, infrastructure development, and EV manufacturing accelerates adoption of advanced curing chemistries. Entering 2032 and beyond, bio-based polyamide and phenalkamine systems, along with ultra-low VOC formulations, reinforce growth.
By 2036, the market reaches USD 5.66 billion, maintaining steady momentum as sustainability compliance becomes a core purchasing criterion across global epoxy value chains.
Why the Market is Growing
The Epoxy Curing Agent Market is expanding as regulators force the systematic replacement of hazardous legacy hardeners with safer alternatives. The European Chemicals Agency continues to expand its SVHC Candidate List, directly impacting epoxy formulations used in industrial flooring, aerospace composites, and protective coatings.
This regulatory pressure is compelling formulators to invest in requalification programs while creating revenue opportunities for suppliers of compliant curing agents. Simultaneously, construction and wind energy sectors are generating sustained demand for high-performance epoxy systems requiring advanced curing technologies.
Reflecting this momentum, BASF is co-developing next-generation solutions with downstream partners such as Sika. Vasilios Galanos, Senior Vice President for Intermediates Europe at BASF, noted that collaborative development enables scalable, cost-efficient sustainable chemistry-highlighting a broader industry shift from standalone product launches to joint innovation.
According to Future Market Insights (FMI), this co-development model is accelerating reformulation timelines and compressing the gap between regulatory restriction and commercial availability.
