The global Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market is projected to grow from USD 9.6 billion in 2021 to USD 12.9 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2021 and 2026. The driving factor for the UPR market are high growth in construction and wind energy industries, growth in end use industries like FRP, automotive, & composites manufacturing, and affordability of UPR over other resin.
Technological advancements are making the Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market grow and become the preferred choice among other resins. UPRs with low dielectric constant and high thermostability was prepared. The wide applications and low cost of UPR will provide a better service and lessen the problem faced before. This contribution will provide a new way for obtaining both thermostability and good electrical properties.

DCPD resins have low VOC, which is the biggest reason for its increased demand. DCPD can be used as a primary base of a resin formulation or blend with orthophthalic or isophthalic resins to enhance properties. The major advantage of DCPD resins over orthophthalic resins is their lower shrinkage property, that offers superior smoothness with minimal or no visual print-through from reinforcing fibers. The increase awareness about the usage of DCPD will lead it to growth in near future.
