Epoxy Resins (2015 Program)

This report provides a deep technical review of the commercial and developing technologies to produce bisphenol A based liquid and solid epoxy resins, as well as epoxy phenol novolac resins.  Their cost of production has been estimated for plants located in the U.S. and China, where capacity is increasing rapidly. As the industry is currently restructuring, a high-level analysis of the business and strategic considerations from the perspective of a company entering or expanding into the epoxy resin market has been included in this report. This analysis is underpinned by a review of end-use sector consumption as well as global and regional market dynamics.
