The South America epoxy resins market size is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the strong growth of the construction industry.
Epoxy resins is a receptive polymer and prepolymer that includes epoxide groups. This type of resin reacts either with themselves in the effect of catalyst or with numerous co-reactants such as phenols, amines, and thiols. Epoxy resins have numerous modern applications for an assortment of purposes. It has higher rigid strength and more warm than different types of resins.

Epoxy resin is a durable compound that can be utilized with different materials, including wood, glass, fabric, and metal. Epoxy resins are not water repellent. Exposure to wet or moist conditions can cause crumbling after some time, which can affect their strength. The most widely recognized use of epoxy resin is intended for glue purposes. Epoxy resins are also utilized in the development of vehicles, airplanes, snowboards, and bikes.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Growing use of various types of epoxy resin coverings such as acrylics, polyurethane, and polyester in many end-user applications such as construction and marine businesses is expected to drive the market growth.
- Rising development in the coating industry is one of the key drivers contributing toward the development of the epoxy resin market
- Increasing number of epoxy resin applications such as paints, coatings, building, and construction is anticipated to stimulate the market expansion.
