Overview of DCPD Market

Increasing demand for DCPD in several industries such as plastics, automotive, and building and construction will be beneficial to the growth of the DCPD market. The functional properties of DCPD are suitable for several applications, such as in the manufacture of paints, plastics, varnishes, and pesticide products.

As such, the market for DCPD will be valued at US$838 mn by 2023, increasing from US$578 mn in 2014 at a CAGR of 4.90% from 2015 to 2023.

Amongst all applications, the unsaturated polyester resin application segment was registered as the major segment of the DCPD market in 2014. This is because unsaturated polyester resins are used in a large range of applications such as plastic products, polyester cement, and automotive parts. Increasing usage of plastics for packaging purposes in food and beverages, pharmaceutical, and other sectors is indirectly augmenting the demand of DCPD. More so, in the emerging economies of China and India, modernization in all walks of life is leading to increasing demand for plastic for packaging needs.
