UV Curable Resin Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID 19 Impact, And Trends By Composition (Oligomers, Monomer, Photoinitiator, Others), By Application (Adhesives And Sealants, Coatings, Ink, Others), And Geography - Forecasts From 2019 To 2024

The global UV curable resins market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.03% to reach US$6,156.196 million in 2024 from US$4,095.699 million in 2018. UV-curing resins are materials that are polymerized and cured in a short time by the energy radiated from Ultraviolet irradiation devices. They are widely used as industrial materials for sealing, bonding, ink, and coating. UV-induced cure has many advantages over conventional cure in terms of less energy consumption and equipment space, reduced waste, less emission, higher productivity (fast cure), and lower temperature treatment which is expected to drive the market growth. There are stringent regulations on VOC emissions which are expected to fuel the market growth. However, the limited application of UV curable resins and its high initial cost is expected to hamper the market growth.

By composition, the oligomers segment is expected to hold a significant market share due to superior properties of oligomers such as fast curing, good chemical resistance, high gloss, and relatively low cost. By application, the coating segment is estimated to have a significant market share as UV coating is increasingly used in the electronic industry due to excellent performance such as outdoor durability, good wear resistance, and resistance against household chemicals. By geography, the Asia Pacific market is expected to have a notable growth rate due to increasing use in the electronic industry and growing environmental concerns.

DRIVERS
• Growing demand for industrial coating, packaging, and electronics industry due to superior properties.
