Snapshot

This industry research report identifies Convestro, The Dow Chemical Company, LG Chem, and Mitsui
Chemical as the key vendors in the global bisphenol-A market. This industry research report also presents a
competitive analysis of the market by application (epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics) and by geography
(the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global bisphenol-A market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global bisphenol-A market will grow steadily at
a CAGR of almost 6% by 2020. The application of bisphenol-A in the production of epoxy resins has been
prevailing for decades, and this is expected increase significantly in the next four years. Owing to their
properties such as resistance to chemicals and strong adhesion along with toughness, epoxy resins have found
considerable significance in the production of several daily-use products. Metal containers have epoxy linings
as a protective layer, and the automotive industry uses epoxy resin components in the production of cars and
boats. The estimated growth of these industries will fuel the demand for epoxy resins, which in turn, will
propel the growth of the bisphenol-A market. Moreover, the growth of the construction industry that uses
epoxy resins in paints and coatings will also aid in the growth of this market.

The recent years have seen an increase in the number of industrial applications of bisphenol-A products.
Automotive manufacturers have started replacing glasses with polycarbonate plastics made from bisphenol-A
as it helps in reducing the overall weight of the automobile and also helps in improving safety features. Epoxy
resins made from bisphenol-A have found considerable significance in the production of wind turbine
blades which makes them stronger and lighter. The demand from these markets in the coming years will
increase the production of bisphenol-A. This will lead to the broadening of the spectrum of product
applications of this compound and is considered to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact
on the growth of this market.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The recent entry of several small players in the market has changed the entire market dynamics, and the current
global bisphenol-A market appears highly fragmented. Though large well-established players account for a
considerable share of the market, vendor competition is fierce. Large vendors have extensive production
facilities and upstream and downstream plastic production capabilities whereas small regional vendors have
the geographical advantage of proximity to the markets. This market analysis also predicts that the market will
witness a number of joint ventures and collaborations which will lead to market consolidation in the coming
years.

The leading vendors in the market are -

Convestro
The Dow Chemical Company
LG Chem
Mitsui Chemical

The other prominent vendors in the market are Kumho P&B Chemicals, Vinmar International, Formosa
Plastics, and Samyang Innochem.

Segmentation by application and analysis of the bisphenol-A market

Epoxy resins
Polycarbonate plastics

The polycarbonate plastics segment accounted for almost 67% of the total market share and dominated the
bisphenol-A market during 2015. The anticipated increase in the use of bisphenol-A in manufacturing
polycarbonates plastics will propel the growth of this market segment in the next four years. Though the
introduction of few substitutes is expected to slow the segments growth, this market segment will continue to
dominate the industry throughout the predicted period.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the bisphenol-A market

Americas
APAC
EMEA

Bisphenol-A market has registered higher production volumes in APAC than other regions in the recent years,
and this is expected to continue in the coming years as well. This regional market has great potential for
growth and is expected to sustain a higher growth rate than the other regions. This market study estimates that
APAC will account for about 67% of the total share of the global bisphenol-A market by 2020 and dominate
this market throughout the forecast period.

DUBLIN, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Bisphenol-A - A Global Market
Overview" report to their offering.

Global market for Bisphenol-A applications analyzed in this study include Epoxy Resins,
Polycarbonates and Other Applications.

In terms of value, global demand for Bisphenol-A is likely to register a faster CAGR of 5.4%
over the same period and reach a projected US$22.5 billion by 2022 from an estimated US$15.6
billion in 2015 and a forecast US$16.4 billion in 2016.

The global markets for the above mentioned application areas are analyzed in terms of both in
metric tons and USD. Global volume consumption of Bisphenol-A, estimated at 7.7 million
metric tons in 2015 and forecast to be 8 million metric tons in 2016, is projected to reach 10.6
million metric tons by 2022 at a CAGR of 4.8% between 2016 and 2022.

Global consumption of bisphenol-A (BPA) is being spurred by a stable growth in demand from
emerging markets, with China, India, Mexico and Russia expected to witness above average
growth prospects. Coupled with this trend is a growing demand for the compound in its two
major application areas, viz., epoxy resins and polycarbonates. Prospects for future demand for
BPA are likely to be bolstered by the growing utilization of this chemical in rotor blade
composites that find application in windmills. Wind energy has been garnering widespread
global attention as an eco-friendly option in the energy mix and requires the use of strong and
resilient wind turbine rotor blades that are reinforced using epoxy resins.
