Summary

The future of the unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) in the global automotive composites market is attractive with opportunities in various applications, including pickups, closure panels, body panels, fenders, GOR (grille opening reinforcement), heat shields, and headlamp reflectors. The unsaturated polyester resin in the global automotive composites market is declined in 2020 due to the global economic recession led by COVID-19. However, the market will witness recovery in the year 2021, and it is expected to reach an estimated $0.3 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 3.7% from 2021 to 2026. The major driver for unsaturated polyester resin in the global automotive composites market growth are the increasing demand for lightweight materials, and performance benefits of reinforced composites over rival materials. UPR Composites with properties such as easy to process, high tensile strength, lightweight, good corrosion resistance and surface tension are ideal for manufacturing lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include development of polyester resin system with low VOC emission and increasing shift to bio-based resins.

The study includes trends and forecast for the unsaturated polyester resin in the global automotive composites market by application, material, and region as follows:

By Application [Volume (Million Pounds) and $M shipment analysis for 2015 – 2026]:
• Pick up
• Closure Panel
• Body Panels
• Fenders
• GOR
• Heat Shield
• Headlamp Reflector
• Others
By Material [Volume (Million Pounds) and $M shipment analysis for 2015 – 2026]:
• SMC
• BMC
By Region [Volume (Million Pounds) and $M shipment analysis for 2015 – 2026]:
• North America
• Europe
• APAC & ROW
In this market, SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) are the major material type used in material different applications. Lucintel forecast that SMC resin will remain the largest segment by value and volume and will experience the highest growth over the forecast period because of its greater flexural strength and tensile strength than BMC. SMC also has longer fiber length and higher fiber content components in body and closure panel applications and these qualities will spur growth for this segment over the forecast period.

Within the unsaturated polyester resin in the global automotive composites market, headlamp reflector will remain the largest application over the forecast period due to increasing penetration of composites materials in automotive applications. Closure panel is expected to witness highest growth over the forecast period.

North America is expected to remain the largest region by value and volume and APAC & ROW is expected to experience the highest growth over the forecast period due to growth in end use industries.

Some of the major unsaturated polyester resin in the unsaturated polyester resin in automotive composites market manufacturers profiled in this report Polynt-Reichhold, Ashland, AOC, Swarncor, and Scott Bader.
