·         The report also includes a discussion of the major players in each of the regional markets for epoxy resins.

• The global market for components of epoxy resins reached $7.0 billion in 2015. This market is expected to increase from $7.5 billion in 2016 to nearly $10.2 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% for 2016-2021.


• The epoxy segment of this market is expected to grow from $6.1 billion in 2016 to $8.3 billion at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2016 through 2021.
• The hardener segment of this market is expected to grow from nearly $1.4 billion in 2016 to $1.9 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2016 through 2021.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The global market for epoxy resins has been growing at a significant rate over the past five years, due especially to high demand for their use in structural applications in the construction, automotive, wind energy, aerospace, electrical and electronics, adhesives, marine and protective coatings industries,
especially in the Asia-Pacific and Europe regions. In addition, research and development in epoxy and hardener technologies has resulted in quicker exothermic reaction times which reduces overall production costs.

Epoxy resins, which are thermosetting polymers, are well known for their high-quality performance with mechanical strength, corrosion protection, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance and strong adhesiveness. These properties make them useful in various industrial applications. The epoxy
resin market is broadly divided into two categories, epoxides and hardeners or curing agents. Epoxy resins are the combination of these epoxides and hardeners. Different types of epoxies discussed in this report include Bisphenol A, Bisphenol F, Phenolic Novolac and Epichlorohydrin, which, when mixed with
hardeners, provide robust adhesion and tensile property. The application of an epoxy resin with high clarity and high viscosity can provide a durable, polished
resin layer as well as structural strength for a wide variety of materials including carbon fiber, Kevlar, wood and certain plastics and metal.

Major epoxy and hardener suppliers include 3M, Aditya Birla Chemicals, Ashland Inc., Atul Ltd., BASF, Blue Star New Chemical Materials Co. Ltd., Cabot Corp., Solvay Inc., Dow Chemical, Dupont, Huntsman Corp., Kukdo Chemical, Kumho P&B Chemicals, Nama Chemicals, Nippon Kayaku Co. Ltd., PPG Industries, Sinopec Baling Co., and Nan Ya Plastics Corp., all of which are profiled in detail at the end of this report. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the highest market share for epoxies and hardeners, followed by Europe and North America.
