Growing Demand from Paints & coatings Industry to Drive the Market Demand
Epoxy resins have a very wide range of applications in the industry. The properties of epoxy resins made
them valuable in the paints & coatings industry. The US construction sector is one of the main
consumers of epoxy resins. Commercial construction has been gaining pace in the form of offices, malls,
restaurants, etc. Additionally, the construction of super tall skyscrapers, measuring over 984 feet, is
currently underway in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, while other cities, like Boston,
Austin, and Philadelphia, are boosting the commercial construction activities in the United States. The
increasing commercial construction activities in the region are majorly driving the demand for epoxy
resins.
Electrical and Electronics to Dominate the Epoxy Resins Market
Epoxy resins are extensively used as insulation material for electronics and electrical applications, which
require protection in extreme and dangerous environments (such as chemical plant equipment, deep
sea, and engine management), owing to their properties, such as high physical and mechanical strength,
good dimensional stability, excellent dielectric properties, etc. They are used to keep generators,
switches, transformers, and motors dry, clean, and free of shorts. Increasing consumption of electrical
and electronics equipment on commercial scale in the United States is driving the demand for epoxy
resins.
United States, the Largest Consumer of Epoxy Resins
The United States is a major producer, as well as consumer of epoxy resins. The country has well-
established global giants, like DuPont, 3M COMPANY, Hexion Inc., etc., which produce epoxy resins and
cater to the local, as well as other North American markets. The infrastructure industry in the United
States grew at 5.94% in 2016. Growing infrastructure in the United States, which is one of the major
consumers of epoxy resins, is driving the market. The gradual growth of the commercial sector, primarily
office space construction, is likely to have a positive impact on the market. The office space market in
the country is estimated to grow by almost 10% in the next few years.
