Trend #1 – Companies Coming Together to Innovate

Many major corporations are collaborating in the global epoxy resins market to drive product innovation, in order to benefit from shared know-how and to minimize expenditure of various resources.

In Sep 2015, a letter was signed between the firms Haydale Composites Solutions (HCS, U.K.) and Huntsman Advanced Materials (Switzerland) to initiate a joint development and commercialization project. According to this agreement, Haydale will be involved in functionalizing graphene nano platelets by deploying a proprietary process and add these platelets to Huntsman’s ARALDITE epoxy resins in order to create a highly loaded masterbatch.

Trend #2 – Rising Funding from Governments to Innovation

Many government organizations are funding private organizations to develop innovative products for applications in sectors such as aerospace.

Recently, the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP), U.K. entered into a collaborative project lasting 18 months with a private firm. The aim of this project is to develop a highly conductive epoxy resin via the addition of functionalized graphene. This project includes two end users – BAE Systems and Airbus UK.

Trend #3 – Making more Sustainable Products by Deploying Innovation

Keeping in mind the rising demand for more sustainable products, companies are increasingly launching products composed from recycled materials.

SGL Group has innovated an epoxy resin that is made using recycled carbon fibers. By deploying a new manufacturing process, the firm has used recycled carbon fibers that have almost isotropic mechanical properties. This innovation in the global epoxy resins market is expected to open up new applications.

Although the global epoxy resins market is worth billions, there are some factors that are proving to be a challenge for the market. For instance, the fluctuations in prices of raw materials used to manufacture epoxy resins will suppress the market.
