KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

The composite resin market was valued at USD 20.55 Bn in 2021. The market is projected to grow USD 32.89 Bn in 2030, at a CAGR of 7.2%. Composite products and composite materials are created using composite resin, a sticky and extremely viscous substance. Additionally, composite resin effectively binds the various fibers contained in the material, aiding in boosting its stiffness and strength. The three main types of composite resins utilized in the production of various products are high-temperature composite resins, thermoset composite resins, and thermoplastic resins. Composite resins including PE, PP, and Vinyl Ester are frequently used in the automotive, wind, and aerospace & military industries. They are also finding more commercial uses in the marine, sporting goods, oil & gas, construction & infrastructure, and other industries.

COVID-19 ANALYSIS

The COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to have a negative impact on the composite resin market in 2020. The entire world has been negatively impacted by this deadly virus, particularly the APAC and European areas. Businesses have stopped operating and shut down their factories, and the government has banned construction work in order to stop the virus from spreading further. As a result, composite resin is being used less frequently across all applications. The output of end-use industries has slowed down as a result of COVID-19 and pre-existing regulatory difficulties, such as drawn-out permitting procedures, which has decreased demand for composite resin. But in 2021, a rebound in demand for composite resin is anticipated.
