Corrosion Resistant Resin Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Epoxy, Vinyl Ester, Polyester), By Application (Coatings, Composites) By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2018 - 2025

Industry Insights

The global corrosion resistant resin market size was valued at USD 6,614.5 million in 2016. It is expected to witness significant growth on account of increasing demand for coatings from various end-use industries majorly oil & gas, chemical processing, marines, and others. 

The developing interest for corrosion resistant resins in the composites application is one of the major factors boosting the consumption of corrosion-resistant resin. Also, conventionally used metals, for example, carbon steel and aluminum are increasingly being replaced by composites owing to factors such as cost viability and low maintenance. As corrosion leads to significant revenue losses in the chemical industry, corrosion-resistant resin materials are expected to witness growing demand in the industry. Coatings are expected to be the largest application over the forecast period due to the anti-corrosive properties offered by the product, which not only provide protection but also extended life to metal parts that are exposed to harsh conditions.

China corrosion resistant resin market by end-use, 2014 - 2025 (USD Million)

The Asia Pacific is expected to be the potential market for corrosion-resistant resin manufacturers over the forecast period. The region, in terms of value, is anticipated to witness high growth over the forecast period. Swiftly expanding industrialization, GDP development, and the demand for improved and modern infrastructure are expected to fuel the interest in corrosion-resistant resins in the region. China is the biggest market for corrosion-resistant resins owing to the presence of well-established industries in the country. Apart from China, countries such as Japan, India, and South Korea are contributing to the development of the corrosion-resistant resins market.

The increasing foreign investments coupled with the End-use industry such as power generations, tanks and pipes, development, marine, and oil and gas are likely to drive the market for corrosion-resistant resins in the area. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), trust by the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, the construction industry in the country is anticipated to be valued at USD 5 billion by 2020. Besides, the growing foreign investments in industries and transportation in developing economies is expected to boost the development of corrosion-resistant resin market in the Asia Pacific.

Product Insights  

Epoxy resin product section is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing market for corrosion-resistant resin due to its excellent corrosion resistance property, easy application, and reasonable cost. Epoxy coatings are generally used to counteract erosion in manufacturing equipment, tanks for destructive chemicals, underground storage tanks, industrial scrubbers, effluent management, and pressure transfer pipe.  Vinyl resin coatings/paints are widely used in the marine industry to prevent ships from corrosions.  Traditional methods for applying defensive paints are increasingly being replaced by resins in different end-use industries such as oil and gas, and car, and others. This can be attributed to the properties of composites, for example, simple establishment, corrosion resistance, and simplicity of operation at lifted temperatures.
