Unsaturated Polyester Resin Market Forecast 2026-2031: Liquid Segment Holds 85.64% Share in 2025, Reports Mordor Intelligence

HYDERABAD, India, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest report from Mordor Intelligence, the global unsaturated polyester resin market is projected to grow from approximately USD 11.95 billion in 2026 to nearly USD 15.04 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.71%. Growth is primarily supported by rising demand from wind turbine blade manufacturing, lightweight components in electric vehicles, and ongoing infrastructure development, particularly across Asia-Pacific. However, increasingly stringent VOC regulations and environmental concerns are moderating market momentum. In addition, volatility in raw material prices, especially maleic anhydride, continues to influence cost structures and supply strategies. While Asia-Pacific leads in overall consumption, North America and Europe are increasingly focusing on low-styrene and sustainable resin alternatives, with innovation centered on recycled and low-emission materials.

Emerging Trends & Developments:

Rising Use in Wind Turbine Components

Growing offshore wind projects are pushing demand for composite materials, with UPR widely used due to its cost efficiency and suitability for large blades. At the same time, stricter sustainability rules are encouraging the use of recyclable resin blends, improving end-of-life handling and reducing environmental impact.

Expansion in Automotive and Mobility Applications

The automotive sector continues to adopt UPR-based composites for lightweight and durable parts, especially in electric vehicles. Manufacturers are focusing on materials that offer fire resistance, structural stability, and reduced emissions, while advanced molding techniques help meet regulatory and performance needs.

Infrastructure Growth Across Emerging Economies

Rapid urban development in Asia is driving the use of corrosion-resistant UPR materials in construction projects. These resins are preferred for pipelines and structural applications due to their durability, lower costs, and longer service life, alongside increasing emphasis on sustainable building practices.
