Epoxy Resin Global Market Report 2026

Epoxy resin is a reactive polymer and prepolymer containing epoxide groups. In the presence of catalysts, these resins react with each other or with co-reactants such as amines, phenols, and thiols. They are used to enhance strength, durability, chemical resistance, and adhesion in various applications.

The primary applications of epoxides include paints and coatings, composites, adhesives and sealants, as well as various other applications. Paints and coatings are extensively utilized in commercial and industrial structures, such as in electrical, automotive, and marine settings, owing to their mechanical and protective properties. They contribute to enhancing concrete floors and provide resistance to stains, cracks, and high temperatures. In the realm of paints and coatings, the process involves the use of polymer suspensions mixed with color pigments to achieve both an aesthetic appearance and surface safety. These materials are available in different physical forms, including liquid, solid, and solution. Various types of epoxides, such as DGBEA (bisphenol A and ECH), DGBEF (bisphenol F and ECH), Novolac (formaldehyde and phenols), Aliphatic (aliphatic alcohols), Glycidylamine (aromatic amines and ECH), and other types, find application in this sector. Epoxides are utilized across diverse end-users, including building and construction, automotive, large and heavy vehicles, railroads, general industrial applications, consumer goods (including sporting equipment), wind power, aerospace, marine industries, and various other end uses.

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 influencing the epoxy resin market by increasing costs of imported epichlorohydrin, bisphenol compounds, curing agents, and processing equipment used across coatings, adhesives, and composites. North America and Europe are significantly affected due to dependence on imported chemical intermediates, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented resin production. These tariffs are elevating material prices and affecting downstream manufacturing costs. However, they are also driving domestic chemical production, bio-based resin development, and localized supply chain investments.
