High demand for crude oil to bring profitable opportunities for the petroleum resins market
Petroleum
Resins is usually prepared from crude oil, natural gas, kerosene, or other
crude oil products with specific additives for specific applications. Petroleum
resins can be prepared as a solid, liquid, or gaseous and are extensively used
in a wide range of industries such as petrochemical, chemical, transportation,
power generation, chemicals, petroleum exploration, and plastics production.
Rapid
growth in the end-use industries such as personal hygiene, building &
construction, automotive, and tire is driving the growth of the petroleum
resins market. These resins are widely used across various applications such as
rubber compounding, printing inks, paints & coatings, adhesives &
sealants, and other applications is again expected to foster the growth of the petroleum
resins market. Growing demand for crude oil is also estimated to augment
the growth of the market. Energy Information Administration estimates that U.S.
crude oil production will average 11.0 million b/d in 2021—down from 11.3
million b/d in 2020 and 12.2 million b/d in 2019—and will rise to 11.5 million
b/d in 2022.
The
Asia Pacific is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period
and this is attributed to the high demand for petroleum resins from the
construction industry. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, large
investment in infrastructure has seen momentum as overall PE (private
equity)/VC (venture capital) investment touched an all-time high of US$ 14.5
billion in 2019. Indian Railways has received an allocation of Rs. 72,216 crore
(US$ 10.33 billion) under Union Budget 2020-21. Moreover, India plans to spend
US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure during 2019-23 to have a sustainable
development of the country.
Key Developments:
1. In October 2019, Eastman launched
Regalite™ UltraPure hydrocarbon resins, a new class of clean tackifying resins,
at the recent 2019 European Adhesive and Sealant Conference & Expo in
Dubrovnik, Croatia
2. In April 2017, Cray Valley has
launched new tackifying resins produced with Amyris’ biologically derived
Biofene branded farnesene. It is manufactured with piperylene (a volatile
hydrocarbon that is a byproduct of ethylene production) as a primary source.
3. In September 2019, Braskem
announced an addition to its Unilene® hydrocarbon resins portfolio - the 'LN' -
C9 low-odor resin line. nilene® hydrocarbon resins offer high fixing and tack
performance, improve application time due to their quick drying and adhesion
time, increase gloss and content of solids, and are compatible with diverse
polymers
4. In March 2020, Purolite
Corporation announces the launch of the Purolite Resin System Modeling platform
or PRSM™, the latest in resin plant simulation
