Resins and Polymers Market Research Reports & Consulting

Resins & Polymers forms one of the basic building blocks of the chemical industry. Resins, both natural and synthetic, are organic compounds comprised of non-crystalline and viscous liquids. Polymers, on the other hands are substances made up of repeating structural units, derived from a specific compound called monomer, joined together by chemical bonds.

In modern industry (except rubber industry), natural resins have almost been replaced by synthetic resins, owing to the superior physical and chemical properties imparted by them. Synthetic resins constitutes of large class of synthetic products that have some of the similar physical properties of natural resins such as hardening permanently but are entirely different in their chemical properties. The major types of synthetic resins include amino, acetal, acrylic, epoxy, phenolic, polyesters and others. The wide varieties of applications of resins include plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, inks, composites, and others.

Polymers are compounds of high molecular weights having same elements combined in same proportion through the process of polymerization. Polymers are either bio-based or synthetic-based depending on their source of origin (fossil fuel or living organisms) and production methods. Synthetic polymers (PE, PP, PS, PVC, etc.) are sourced from fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, etc.) and are produced by chemical processes. Major end-use of polymers are to produce plastics, which find applications in wide variety of end-industries, such as, industrial, automobile, construction, piping, agricultural, packaging, medical, electrical & electronics, etc.. Bio-based or biopolymers contain repetitive monomeric units that are sourced from living organisms and are obtained by chemical enhancements of natural polymers. Some biopolymers, such as, PLA, bio-PET, bio-PE, etc. can be converted into plastics and are finding applications that are similar to the synthetic polymers.

Till date MarketsandMarkets has published more than 75 syndicate reports on various resins, polymers, plastics, bio-polymers, and specialty polymers. The company has also published more than 25 syndicate reports on associated markets, such as, paints and coatings, adhesives, and composites.
