List of Tables

The Dicyclopentadiene Market size is expected to reach USD 1265.86 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Application (Unsaturated Polyester Resin, Hydrocarbon Resins, EPDM Elastomers, Cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP) & Copolymer (COC), and Poly-DCPD), Grade (High Purity, Polyester Grade, and Hydrocarbon Grade), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast, 2025- 2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The DCPD market has experienced substantial growth over the past decade, driven by its increasing applications in a variety of industries, particularly in the production of advanced materials and composites. DCPD is a cyclic hydrocarbon that is produced through the thermal cracking of C5 fractions, often derived from naphtha or natural gas. It is a highly reactive compound with unique chemical properties, such as a low viscosity, which makes it ideal for various applications in the production of resins, automotive parts, coatings, and other industrial products. The market for DCPD is primarily influenced by the rising demand in the automotive, construction, and chemical industries.

One of the primary factors contributing to the growth of the Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market is the increasing use of unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) and vinyl ester resins, both of which rely on DCPD as a key raw material. These resins are highly valued for their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for applications in the automotive, marine, construction, and electronics industries.

Dicyclopentadiene Market Report Highlights:

Based on application, the unsaturated polyester resin segment dominates the Dicyclopentadiene Market due to its extensive use in the automotive and construction industries, driven by the material's durability and performance. The cyclic olefin polymer (COP) & copolymer (COC) segment is the fastest-growing, spurred by increased demand for high-performance materials in packaging and medical devices.

By grade outlook, the high-purity DCPD grade holds the largest market share, attributed to its critical role in high-end applications requiring stringent quality standards. Polyester grade DCPD is experiencing the highest growth due to its significant use in unsaturated polyester resins, which are increasingly demanded in infrastructure and automotive sectors.

Asia Pacific is both the largest and the fastest-growing market for DCPD, driven by rapid industrialization and expanding applications in automotive, construction, and electronics. North America and Europe continue to be strong markets but are growing at a slower pace compared to the dynamic expansion observed in Asia Pacific.

Key players in the Dicyclopentadiene Market include Shell Chemicals, ExxonMobil Chemical, and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. These companies are actively involved in the production and distribution of DCPD and operate as independent entities. Other significant players are LyondellBasell Industries, Repsol, and Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., all of which contribute to the market with their advanced production capabilities and technological expertise.
