Market Definition
Alkyd resin is a synthetic resin made by a condensation reaction between a polyhydric alcohol and dibasic acid. Alkyd resins are thermoplastic polyester resins which are polyhydric alcohols heated with polybasic acids or their anhydrides to create alkyd resins. Due to their adaptability and affordability, they are utilized to create weather-resistant protective coatings and are crucial components in many synthetic paints.
Asia-Pacific Alkyd Resin Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Rising Demand in the Paint and Coating Industry
The paint and coating industry is currently seeing a significant increase in demand for alkyd resin. This increased attention can be associated with alkyd resin's notable characteristics, versatility, and the most abundant category of synthetic resins, which makes it a preferred choice for various industrial applications. Alkyd resin is an oil-modified polyester, which is used as a film-forming agent in certain paints and clear coatings These resins exhibit compatibility with a broad range of other resins used in the paint industry, including amino resin, phenolic, rosin, resin, and polyurethanes, facilitating convenient modifications to achieve desired properties. Furthermore, modified alkyd resin-based varnishes and enamels find utility in painting cars, airplanes, railroads, and agricultural machinery, while the composition of alkyd resins blended with urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde. Resins produce enamels that are suitable for painting automobiles, bicycles, and various equipment. Due to high application, continued research and development carried out by researchers and manufacturers is expected to boost the market growth
- Growing Disposable Income and Lifestyle of Consumers
As consumer lifestyles improve, there is a growing emphasis on quality and durability. Alkyd resin-based coatings are known for their excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Consumers with higher disposable income are more likely to choose for a long-lasting coating that requires less frequent maintenance. The demand for alkyd resin-based coating increased as consumers seek products that align with their desired lifestyle. With higher disposable income, consumers are more likely to invest in premium and specialty coatings for specific applications. Alkyd resins can be formulated to meet specific requirements such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, and low VOC content. Consumers who prioritize specialized properties are willing to pay a premium for coatings that offer enhanced performance and contribute to the demand for alkyd resin-based specialty coatings.
- High-Quality Properties And Compatibility of the Alkyd Resin With A Wide Range of Polymers
Alkyd resins are highly versatile and cost-effective components used in the manufacturing of synthetic paints. One of the key advantages of alkyd resins is their compatibility with other coating polymers. They can be combined with vinyl resins, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, containing hydroxyl groups, to improve application properties and adhesion, particularly in marine top-coat paints. Alkyd resins can be blended with acrylic resins, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, and other coating polymers to achieve desired characteristics and meet specific application requirements. By combining alkyd resins with these polymers, manufacturers can modify the properties of the finished coatings, including gloss, hardness, chemical resistance, weather ability, and drying time.
- Growing Urbanization in the Developing Countries
Growing urbanization and industrialization has led to the growth of the economies. Urbanization frequently results in an increase in construction activity, including the development of residential properties, commercial and industrial buildings, and infrastructure projects. These projects require paints and varnishes that use alkyd resin as their binder. The building and construction sector relies on specialty resins to meet stringent quality standards in applications such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings (architectural, decorative, and protective). These resins exhibit exceptional characteristics, including high-temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance. As a result, a significant volume of these resins is expected to use in upcoming infrastructure projects and the construction of residential and non-residential buildings.
Restraints
- Growing Awareness of the Harmful Impact of Alkyd Resins
Alkyd resins have been used as binders for paints since the 1930s. Their compatibility with many polymers and the extremely wide formulating latitude made them suitable for the production of a broad range of coating materials. The primary concern with the organic solvents used to formulate the product, various solvents are used in alkyd coatings including mineral spirits, toluene, xylene, and petroleum distillates. The evaporation of these solvents in both alkyd resin production and end use drying processes introduced significant environmental concerns. Conventional solvent based alkyd coatings have gone out of favor due to concerns over volatile organic compound (VOCs). The emission of potentially harmful VOCs has increased the number of health problems such as asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems and the environmental concerns associated with the global warming.
- Availability of Substitutes
The availability of alternatives to alkyd resins can hamper the growth of the global alkyd resin market. Moreover, the instability price of the raw materials will also negatively impact the market growth as consumers move towards the use of other resins in various applications such as paints, insulating enamels, and automotive among others.
Challenges
- The Fluctuating Price of Raw Material Leads to Changes in the Manufacturing Cost of Alkyd Resins
Volatile and unstable prices of raw materials have widespread implications for manufacturing organizations. From the rising energy costs to unexpected fluctuations in raw material costs, obstacles are destabilizing supply chains making it difficult for manufacturers to either absorb additional costs, or find new ways to mitigate the expenses. The Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine has disrupted oil industry which led to skyrocketing oil prices. Russia is one of the biggest producers of oil and natural gas. The price of crude oil was also inflated even before the war due to higher demand for fuel by the recovery of the global economies from the COVID-19 pandemic and low investment in the oil and gas industry. The high fluctuating raw material costs and ineffective price management can damage the company’s profitability factor. Such fluctuations in crude oil prices can negatively impact alkyd resin prices and their applications, moreover, the fluctuation in crude oil prices leads to variations in the manufacturing costs of alkyd resin to significantly impact prices for end-users.
Opportunities
