Alkyd Resin Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global alkyd resin market attained a value of USD 2.47 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 4.10%, to reach USD 3.69 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Alkyd resins are specialised polyesters modified with fatty acids or plant-based oils. They possess remarkable attributes, including swift curing, robust chemical resistance, and exceptional weathering resilience, which are highly valued in the paint sector, distinguishing them from unadulterated oils. Alkyd resins find applications in essential products, ranging from household paints to industrial coatings.

• A major factor aiding the global alkyd resin market growth is the increasing demand for high-performance coatings in different sectors such as marine, aerospace, and industrial machinery. This is boosting the demand for alkyd-based paints and coatings due to their enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent adhesion properties.
• The increasing transition towards waterborne resins is expected to further propel the growth of the market. The use of water for waterborne resins as a solvent makes these resins eco-friendly with low flammability and toxicity.
• One of the major global alkyd resin market trends is the rising focus on the development of bio-based alkyd resins. Companies are increasingly involved in the development of bio-based products due to the rising concerns regarding rapid climate change. Bio-based resins can be used as high-performance alternatives over fossil fuel-based resins, providing lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) levels.
• The flourishing construction sector is a major factor propelling global alkyd resins market demand. Alkyd resins are used in architectural coatings for applications like walls, ceilings, and trim. Hence, growth in construction activities, particularly in emerging economies, has been a significant driver of the market.
