Encapsulation resins are specialized materials and resin systems utilized to safeguard and insulate electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). They create a protective layer that shields these components from moisture, chemicals, mechanical stress, and other environmental factors.
The primary varieties of encapsulation resins include epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, silicone resins, and other variations. Epoxy resins, known for their exceptional electrical insulation properties, high chemical resistance, and robust mechanical strength, fall under the category of thermosetting resins. These resins find applications across various sectors, including transformers, sensors, switchgear, insulators, capacitors, relays and coils, adhesives and sealants, among others. They serve multiple industries such as building and construction, automotive, transportation, electrical and electronics, marine, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the encapsulation resins market by increasing costs of imported specialty chemicals, curing agents, fillers, and advanced polymer intermediates. Electronics and automotive manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported resin feedstocks, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented resin production. These tariffs are elevating material costs and affecting supply contracts. At the same time, they are supporting local resin manufacturing and development of alternative formulations.
