BIO BASED EPOXY MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Bio Based Epoxy Market is expected to be valued at USD 0.093 billion in 2025, increase to around USD 0.102 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach nearly USD 0.224 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 10.1% between 2025 and 2034.

Bio based epoxy is a new type of bio-sourced resin created through the epoxidation of renewable precursors such as unsaturated vegetable oils, saccharides, tannins, cardanols, terpenes, rosins, and lignin. They are treated using a variety of co-reactants, often known as hardeners or curatives. The application and kind of epoxy resin determine the type of curative, which may also be bio based.  Epoxidized linseed oil, liquid epoxidized natural rubber, terpene-maleic estertype epoxy, diglycidyl ethers of isosorbide, furan diepoxy of 2,5-bis (hydroxymethyl)-furan [BHMF] (adhesives), and epoxidized cardanol are some bio based epoxies that have found commercial use or that are currently being investigated for commercial use.

Bio based epoxy is a new, emerging biopolymers technology that provides a clean, renewable, and sustainable alternative to petroleum-based coatings. Compared to natural or synthetic epoxies, it is far more environmentally friendly. It is a completely renewable resource because it is made from biomass and has no byproducts or waste of any kind. Epoxies made from bio-based materials are thought to be a combination of biodegradable, renewable, and sustainable. They are created from chemical components that are biodegradable, renewable, and either less hazardous or non-toxic. It is a blend of plant-based aliphatic monomers and organic materials such as polymerized waxes and oils. These ingredients are all made from renewable resources.

Key Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Sector Inactivity Caused the Market Slowdown

The COVID-19 pandemic has globally impacted numerous industries and sectors. The pandemic has caused disruptions in the production of bio based epoxy resins and other core components across all markets. The market is anticipated to remain at a depressed growth rate over the projection period, owing to disruption in supply chains and a lack of availability of raw materials. Workforce reductions and subsequent plant closures in all markets had disrupted supply lines and resulted in higher producer costs.

LATEST TRENDS

New Players Entering the Market to Drive Growth

RESTRAINING FACTORS

New to the Market with Short Shelf Life to Decelerate the Market Growth

The disadvantages of the bio based epoxy market are that they are still new products and it is difficult to scale up production, as we have seen in organics. For a long time, many companies have had exclusive patents, so it also takes time for other companies to develop their own products using agrochemicals. These products are derived from renewable resources. They have detergent properties and can be used in a variety of applications, such as adhesives, for a wide range of uses. However, there are drawbacks, such as they do not have much adhesive power and also have a short shelf life, resulting in a decrease in profit margins.

• Bio Based Epoxy Market: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only 12% of manufacturers can scale bio-based epoxy production efficiently due to limited raw materials.

• Bio Based Epoxy Market: According to the European Chemicals Agency, the shelf life of most bio-based epoxies ranges from 6 to 12 months, which limits large-scale storage and distribution.
