During the COVID-19 pandemic, the saturated polyester resin market witnessed a downturn due to operational and supply chain restrictions in various countries across the globe. Factors like these negatively impacted the demand from key end users like Paints and Coatings industry, among others. However, as the restriction eased in 2021, the demand for polyester resin rose to pre-pandemic levels.
- Over the medium term, the major factor driving the market's growth is their better performance compared to their alternatives because of their superior mechanical properties.
- On the flip side, the high processing and manufacturing cost of saturated polyester resins is expected to hinder the studied market's growth.
- The growing trend of non-BPA can coatings creates new growth opportunities for saturated polyester resins.
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and will likely witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Saturated Polyester Resins Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Powder Coatings
- Saturated polyester resins are primarily used to manufacture solvent-free powder paints and coatings. Its superior properties, such as good weather resistivity, excellent impact strength, and adhesion to metals (even under humid conditions), saturated polyester resins are favored for exterior and interior architectural applications, coating machinery, domestic appliances, steel furniture, and garden tools.
- Globally the rapid pace of innovation in terms of the advancement of technologies and R&D activities in the electronics industry is driving the demand for newer, faster, and more reliable electronic products, thus increasing the need for coated components.
