LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) market report until 2021. This research report also lists seven other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The global UPR market is forecast to be valued at USD 10,620.8 million by 2021, growing at a CAGR of close to 6% through the forecast period. The building and construction industry form the biggest end-user segment, where it is used in the manufacture of fiber-reinforced plastic, artificial stones, marbles, granites, and putties.
“The key drivers of this market are an increasing growth in end-user industries like automotive and wind energy, improved use of UPR over other resins, and growing shift towards eco-friendly products. These factors will ensure a healthy demand for UPRs through the forecast period, leading to a constant growth of the market,” says Mahitha Mallishetty, one of the lead analysts at Technavio for plastics, polymers, and elastomers research.
Competitive vendor landscape
The leading players in the global UPR market are involved in the manufacture of orthophthalic, isophthalic, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and other types of resins. These players have a vast geographical presence with large production facilities located globally. The competition in the market will further intensify, with companies competing over environmental compliance, service provision, product and technical expertise, innovation, distribution, and price. While orthophthalic resins are the most widely used type of resins currently, the use of DCPD resins has been gaining traction.
Currently, compliance with environmental standards is very important for players operating in the market, as it helps in improving vendors' brand images and reduces the possibility of incurring high penalties. With European environmental associations becoming more stringent on styrene use to produce UPR, more end-users are increasingly demanding for greener product alternatives that reduce their carbon footprint.
