Market Introduction
Europe includes Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. The European region has a large number of paint & coatings, printing inks, and adhesives & sealants product manufacturers. A favorable regulatory environment is expected to increase the hydrocarbon resins market growth in the region. According to the European Chemicals Agency, hydrocarbon resins are registered under the REACH Regulation. They are manufactured in and/or imported to the European Economic Area at ≥ 1 to < 10 tons per annum. This substance is utilized by consumers, professional workers, in formulation or re-packing, and at industrial sites. Hydrocarbon resins are used in lubricants and greases, adhesives and sealants, polishes, and waxes.
In Europe, currently, France, the UK, and Russia are the worst-impacted countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. The massive outbreak of the pandemic has created a temporary distortion in operation efficiencies of industrial bases in the European market. The market for hydrocarbon resins has been negatively impacted due to disruptions in the supply chain. The pandemic has impacted the demand for hydrocarbon resins from sectors such as adhesives, paint, coating, etc. However, the various industries are coming on track after supply constraints affecting these industries are resolving gradually. The demand for hydrocarbon resins from the downstream adhesive and paint sector is improving, as the construction sector of the region is gradually recovering from the pandemic devastation.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The hydrocarbon resins market in Europe is expected to grow US$ 488.63 million in 2021 to US$ 675.64 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2028. Adhesives and sealants are one of the major application segments in the hydrocarbon resins market. As gluing has become a common method of joining materials in various industrial applications, adhesives are becoming more important. Hydrocarbon resins are used as a tackifier in adhesives. Hydrocarbon resins are extensively used in hot melts, pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc. Hence, the growing adhesives and sealants application will offer more opportunities for market growth. Additionally, players operating in the market are also focusing on capacity expansion to meet the growing demand in adhesive applications. For instance, Eastman - a global advanced materials and specialty additives company, is increasing its marketing capabilities for its Picco A-120 hydrocarbon resin, which offers resistance to acids and acts as a favorable solvent release. Further, In June 2021, Kolon Industries Inc. have added 15,000 tons of annual capacity in its hydrocarbon resin manufacturing. This addition gives the company a total capacity of 200,000 tons of hydrocarbon resin annually. The expanded facility will produce high reactive resins (HRRs), which is a type of hydrocarbon resin developed in-house by the company.
