The Waterborne Epoxy Resins Market value was USD 2.39 Billion In 2022 and Is predicted to reach USD 4.97 Billion In 2028, registering a compound annual rate of 9.5% from 2023-2028.
The market is driven by the increase in strict environmental regulations, the expansion of the construction industry, and a growing shift toward green and environmentally friendly products. However, mature markets in Europe and North America are predicted to limit expansion to some extent. Waterborne epoxy resins are substances made up of individual molecules that have the ability to dissolve in water. They are employed in end-use industries for their non-reactive nature and ease of application. Furthermore, its ease of separation, selectivity, durability, and superior performance are the important trends and factors influencing the market with confidence. Hence, they are employed in various applications such as coatings, adhesives, composites, and others.
Among the various segments of the waterborne epoxy resins market, the low molecular weight subsegment is the main type employed in the market and is predicted to continue to dominate during the evaluation period. They are widely employed in end-use industries due to their excellent resistance to abrasion, quick drying, and easy mixing, among other properties. Furthermore, its growing consumption in construction, textile, automotive, and others is predicted to drive the market over the next two years. The coating subsegment is predicted to grow at a significant rate due to its unlimited use in latex paints, colloidal coatings, and the like.
Columbus, Ohio - Hexion Inc. will launch two new waterborne epoxy resins at the European Coatings Show in Germany. These unlabeled low-volatility organic compound (VOC) resins allow the manufacture of high-performance waterborne coatings at a competitive cost.
Escalating consumption of the product in coatings, composites, and adhesives is predicted to drive the market during the foreseen period. The end-user market is divided into construction, textile, automotive, furniture, packaging, and others. The construction segment has a large market share due to the acceleration of infrastructure development and the consequent increase in the number of activities in the sector. Additionally, a growing call for the product in the textile, automotive, furniture, packaging and other sectors is predicted to drive the market during the foreseen period. Due to escalating industrialization, the call for coatings and paints has escalated dramatically, which will boost the product market. Escalatingcall from the aerospace and wind power industries is predicted to increase the call for the product over the foreseen period. As environmental legislation becomes stricter in various countries, waterborne coatings have become popular in industrial coatings, which will boost the product market. Another important factor in the inclination of the product market is its low emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The cost of waterborne epoxy resins has been a major concern for many industries for the past decade. The prices of waterborne epoxy resins are high compared to epoxy resins. In contrast, the production of bisphenol A and novolac resins is still very low. These fibers are widely employed as composites, coatings, and adhesives in various end-use industries, including construction, automotive, and marine. Since the production of waterborne epoxy resins is quite low, this is the main obstacle in the market for waterborne epoxy resins.

Continuous developments in the automotive and transportation sectors have created a great call for light and fuel-efficient vehicles. To make cars light and fuel-efficient, companies must use different lightweight materials such as aluminum, steel, composites, or plastics to give them the best opportunity for weight reduction. The use of adhesives allows less use of fasteners, such as welds, rivets or bolts, on a vehicle. Adhesives and compounds help reduce the extra weight that these metal bodies and fasteners would add to vehicles. In addition, the use of these high-quality materials and adhesives increases the impact and impact resistance of vehicles, making them much safer in the event of an accident. These nascent opportunities are said to create a high call for the waterborne epoxy resin market during the foreseen period.
Another factor contributing to the higher prices of waterborne epoxy resins is the generation of matrices; the production of a matrix requires expensive batch processes at high temperatures under a controlled atmosphere. The prices of waterborne epoxy resins are high compared to epoxy resins. On the other hand, the production of alternatives to bisphenol A and novolac resins is still very low. Since the production of waterborne epoxy resins is quite low, this is the main obstacle in the market for waterborne epoxy resins.

The construction segment has a significant market share due to the acceleration of infrastructure development and the consequent increase in the number of activities in the sector.
Among them, Asia Pacific has a large market share due to the growing call for waterborne epoxy resins in coatings, adhesives, composites, and others. The coatings segment has a significant share and is predicted to continue to dominate the market due to the increase in product consumption, which has led to an increase in the call for waterborne coatings in end-user industries. Therefore, countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the main players in this market. Asia-Pacific has always been a strong market for waterborne epoxy resins and, worldwide, this market has been a leader in waterborne epoxy resins in terms of call.
This region has the presence of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world, namely China and India. It has a relatively high expansion rate due to its large market size and rapid economic activity compared to other regions. Call in this region is mainly driven by the expansion of the waterborne epoxy resin end-use industries. The North American region is experiencing significant expansion due to the escalating call for epoxy coatings in paint and coatings, automotive, construction, and other industries. Escalated investments in end-use industries are predicted to drive the market over the foreseen period. The escalating consumption of epoxy resins in end-use applications has driven expansion in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico to achieve surprising expansion in the market, as they offer a unique capacity of separation, recycling, and high-level performance for the product.
