Market drivers

Growing construction industry is one of the key drivers of phenoxy resins market. Phenoxy resins find widespread application as binders and additives in paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants and other construction products. Rapid urbanization and increasing investments in infrastructure development across developing nations are fueling residential and non-residential construction activities worldwide. This is positively impacting the demand for construction materials such as decorative and protective coatings where phenoxy resins are mainly utilized.

The current geopolitical uncertainties are impacting the growth of the phenoxy resins market. With rising tensions between major economies and regional conflicts happening across the world, international trade has become more complex. This is affecting the easy availability of raw materials as well as distribution of finished phenoxy resin products in the global market. Additionally, sanctions and trade protectionism being adopted by some countries pose challenges for manufacturers to find substitute import sources and forge new export partnerships. The market players need to carefully diversify their supply chains and build multiple supplier and customer networks across different geographic regions to mitigate such political risks in the long run. They also need to focus on developing innovative production technologies that can enhance input material self-sufficiency for locations facing geopolitical issues. Further investments in research activities aimed at utilizing alternative and locally available feedstocks can boost business continuity plans of companies amid changing international relations.

Europe currently dominates the phenoxy resins market in terms of value, leading with over 35% share of the global market revenue. This is attributed to presence of major manufacturing centers and robust coating industry demand from key end-use sectors such as automotive, aerospace and construction in countries like Germany, France, UK, Italy etc. Asia Pacific region registers the fastest growth and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period. Increasing manufacturing activities, infrastructure development projects and rising standards of living actively supporting paints & coatings usage are supporting the phenoxy resins market growth in Asia Pacific markets like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. North America represents another substantial geographical market led by the US, while middle east & Africa and Latin America are identified as emerging regional markets with latent prospective opportunities.
