Market Overview

Phenoxy resins, or hydroxyl-functional phenoxy resins, are thermosetting resins made from the reaction of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A. They offer properties like excellent heat resistance, low moisture absorption, dimensional stability, and electrical insulation. Due to these characteristics, they are used in applications such as printed circuit boards, casting molds, and laminates. Phenoxy resin-based adhesives have high strength and heat resistance, making them suitable for automotive and aircraft components. They also serve as binders and modifiers in powder coatings.

The Global Phenoxy Resins Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.71 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
