Unsaturated polyester resins play a pivotal role in the automotive sector, offering unparalleled design versatility, lightweight attributes, cost-effectiveness, and robust mechanical strength, making them integral in the manufacturing processes of diverse automotive components. Expanding their utility further, unsaturated polyester resins find application in construction, contributing to the fabrication of hobs for cookers, roofing tiles, and bathroom accessories. Additionally, these resins are employed in the production of pipes, ducts, and tanks, showcasing their versatility in building materials. Moreover, their chemical and corrosion resistance properties make them indispensable in the development of corrosion-resistant pipes for industrial applications.
Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPRs) play a pivotal role in various industries, with the construction sector being a key driver of demand. Widely utilized in applications such as laminates, composites, and coatings, UPRs are integral to construction projects worldwide, their versatility meeting diverse needs within the industry. Additionally, the burgeoning global wind energy sector heavily relies on UPRs, particularly in the manufacturing of wind turbine blades. As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to escalate, the wind energy sector's expansion is poised to fuel increased demand for UPRs. In the automotive industry, UPRs contribute significantly to the manufacturing of lightweight components and composites, aligning with the sector's emphasis on fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the marine industry, encompassing boat building and marine structures, relies on UPRs due to their corrosion resistance and durability, thus benefitting from the sector's robust growth in both recreational and commercial domains. In the realm of electrical and electronics, UPRs find application in insulating materials, and their usage is anticipated to surge in tandem with the rising demand for electronic devices and components. Notably, the adaptability and versatility of UPRs to meet specific performance requirements across diverse industries contribute significantly to their overall market growth, positioning them as indispensable materials in the modern industrial landscape. The global Unsaturated Polyester Resin market size is anticipated to reach nearly 8700 thousand tonnes by 2032.
On the basis of type, Unsaturated Polyester Resin market is segmented Orthopthalic, Isophthalic, into DCPD, and Others. Among these, Orthopthalic type holds the largest market share. Orthophthalic, renowned for its corrosion resistance, low thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives, orthophthalic finds applications across diverse industries. Its lightweight nature facilitates convenient usage and transportation. Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a crystalline compound derived from C5 petroleum products, polymerizes into PDCPD, known for its high deformation temperature, chemical corrosion resistance, and impact resilience. Widely employed in construction machinery, tractors, buses, and trucks, PDCPD is making inroads into marine products, particularly pleasure boats, driven by its low resin shrinkage sans fiber addition, promising heightened segment growth.
