Global Resin Market is valued at approximately USD 556 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Resin, a highly viscous or solid substance, can be derived from natural plant sources or manufactured synthetically in laboratories. Due to their lightweight, chemical resistance, and high flexural strength properties, these resinous materials play a crucial role in various end-use industries, including automotive, packaging, construction, and medical. The demand for resins is further bolstered by their increasing adoption in the production of essential items such as face masks, gloves, and PPE kits, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The market is poised for significant growth driven by the rapid expansion of the packaging, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, consumer goods, and e-commerce sectors. In response to consumer demand and legislative trends, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable raw materials. This shift has increased demand for high-solid and water-based resins, significantly reducing volatile organic solvent emissions. Moreover, the green economy movement and focus on sustainability have encouraged many thermoset resin manufacturers to turn towards bio-based products, using feedstocks such as corn and soybeans. Companies like SABIC are leading the way by launching bio-based versions of their resin grades to meet rigorous sustainability goals. However, the market faces challenges such as the fluctuation of crude oil prices, which impacts the cost of petrochemical feedstock used in resin production. Environmental regulations aimed at reducing plastic consumption and the overuse of non-renewable resources also pose potential restraints to market growth. Governments worldwide are imposing restrictions on the use of crude oil and petroleum, creating supply-demand imbalances that can hinder the ability to meet end-user demands.
The key regions considered for the Global Resin Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is a dominating region in the Global Resin Market in terms of revenue. The market growth in the region is being attributed to factors including the presence of major plastic-producing countries like China and India. The region's growth is supported by the availability of raw materials and low production costs. Whereas, the market in North America is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by high demand for packaging in the food & beverage and cosmetics industries, coupled with stringent regulations regarding plastic quality.
