Global Polymercaptan Curing Agent Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Polymercaptan Curing Agent market size is predicted to grow from US$ 147 million in 2025 to US$ 224 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Polythiol curing agents are specialized chemical compounds containing multiple thiol (-SH) functional groups, which enable rapid cross-linking reactions in epoxy resins, polyurethanes, and other polymer systems. Known for their fast curing speed, excellent adhesion, and superior chemical resistance, these curing agents are widely used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and electronic encapsulation materials. Their ability to cure at ambient temperatures makes them particularly valuable in applications requiring quick processing and high durability.

Market Demand and Application Expansion

The increasing demand for high-performance coatings and adhesives in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics has driven the adoption of polythiol curing agents. In particular, the electronics industry benefits from their excellent insulation properties, low shrinkage, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making them ideal for encapsulation applications. Additionally, as environmental regulations become stricter, manufacturers are developing eco-friendly, low-VOC formulations to align with sustainability trends and green chemistry initiatives.

Technological Advancements and Regional Growth

Innovation in curing technologies continues to enhance the performance of polythiol-based systems, with hybrid formulations combining polythiols with other reactive chemistries to improve mechanical properties and processing efficiency. The Asia-Pacific region, led by China, Japan, and South Korea, is experiencing rapid growth due to the expansion of coatings, adhesives, and electronics industries, while North America and Europe remain focused on sustainable and advanced formulation development. Moving forward, the evolution of polythiol curing agents will be driven by advancements in material science, regulatory compliance, and the need for high-performance solutions.
