Epoxy Resins Combined with Innovative Hardener: A Strong Barrier for Environmental Factors

The applications of epoxy resins are diversifying across multiple industries. So, the manufacturers are incorporating innovative components with epoxy resins to increase their durability.

For instance, in March 2025, BASF and Sika launched an epoxy hardener for construction applications, specifically for the flooring part.
In February 2025, Olin developed a hardener, D.E.H.828EU, to provide anti-corrosion coating for vehicles and industrial coating.

Modern Era of Wet Strength Paper: First Polyamide-Epichlorohydrin Resin Chemistry in Market

Wet-strength papers are widely used in the food and packaging industry for frozen food packaging, labels, and disposable tableware, as they do not lose their strength when they come in contact with water. As a global wet strength resin leader, Solenis launched innovative resin chemistry in the market.

These innovative incorporations signify the role of epoxy resins, thereby propelling the demand for epichlorohydrin.

Product Type Insights

The oil-based epichlorohydrin segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 61.83% in 2024. The growth is attributed to its rising demand in the construction, automotive, and electronics industries due to its enhanced mechanical properties for coating and adhesive formulations, high water solubility, and excellent resistance to moisture and UV degradation.

Regional Analysis

The Asia Pacific region dominated the market with a revenue share of 48.34% in 2024. The growth is attributed to major factors such as increasing demand for epichlorohydrin in the chemical industry for manufacturing of epoxy resins that are applicable in key industries such as electronics, automotives, and chemicals. As these industries are prominently growing in the Asia Pacific, they carry the demand for epichlorohydrin subsequently.

China holds the major share of electronic products, where the requirement of epoxy resins is a must for insulation purposes. China is expanding its market reach across the globe. For example, in 2024, China started manufacturing electronics in Mexico and exported them to the U.S. as per the tariff requirements for Mexico. This strategic planning of China in the electronics sector marks the demand for epoxy resins and hence up-scales the epichlorohydrin market.

India has experienced a robust growth in the textile industry in the last 5 years. As epoxy resins are the necessary components in textiles to modify fabric properties and create high-strength composite materials, the demand for epichlorohydrin surges accordingly. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, India had apparel and textile exports of 30 billion in 2021, and it has reached USD 37 billion in 2025. This remarkable growth underscores the demand for epichlorohydrin.
