Water-Based Resins Market Research Report Information by Type (Acrylic Resin, Epoxy Ester Resin, Saturated Polyester Resin, Epoxy Resin, Polyurethane Resin, Alkyd), Application (Paints & Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants, Inks, Leather) and Region - Forecast till 2030

Water-Based Resins Market Overview The water-based resins market is estimated at USD 38.89 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 52.69 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2028. Water-based resins are viscous liquids with low volatility that are used in coatings to prevent corrosion and extend product life. When used in exterior and interior walls, wood, or industrial paints, these resins give quick-drying, outstanding pigmentation, and superb sheen. Water-based acrylic resin, epoxy ester resin, saturated polyester resin, epoxy resin, and polyurethane resin are all examples of water-based resins. These are employed in stain-blocking primers, corrosion-prevention coatings, construction sealants, and impact-resistant wood and concrete flooring coatings, among other things. Water-based resins are also used as binders in texture and paper coatings, as well as cement mortar and paints. The water-Based Resins Market Increase is predicted to be fueled by significant growth in the building industry as a result of rising population and increasing industrialization. In the years ahead, rapid urbanization and strong environmental limitations on the use of volatile organic compounds are likely to enhance the demand for water-based resins. When opposed to solvent-based resins, water-based resins contain far fewer volatile chemicals, making them more environmentally friendly. During the study period, the usage of these resins as coatings in wood finishes, cement, pavements and infrastructure, paper, and textiles and fibers, among other applications, is expected to drive market expansion. Water-Based Resins Market Expansion is predicted to be driven by significant growth in the building industry due to expanding population and rapid industrialization in the future years. Furthermore, the usage of these resins in paint applications gives the paint a better sheen, color retention, and long life, enhancing demand for the product.
