Curing Agents Market: By Type, By Application, and Geography  

Curing Agents Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Epoxy Curing Agent, Silicone Rubber, Polyurethane-Based Curing Agents, and Others), By Application (Adhesives, Coatings, Composites, Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Wind Energy, and Others), and Region  

Curing Agents Market size was valued at US$ 5.12 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at US$ 8.76 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2%from 2024-2030. Infrastructural developments in emerging economies, technological advancements in manufacturing, huge investments in R&D and high growth in emerging economies are some key factors influencing the market growth. In addition, the growing usage of epoxy resins in end-use industries is other major driver of the market. The curing agent is a chemical compound that helps the coated film solidify faster. It is also known as the hardener at times. Gel time, degree of curing, curing cycle, and viscosity are all affected by it. These can be found in a variety of products, including items, foods, concrete, polymer blends, and more. Curing agents are divided into three categories: The first category contains active hydrogen-containing chemicals and their derivatives, the second category includes anionic and cationic initiators, and the third category includes reactive cross-linkers with high equivalent weights that cross-link with the epoxy resins' secondary hydroxyl groups. Although the market is growing considerably, but growing cost of raw material used has increased the total cost of products. This is likely to hamper the growth of curing agents market in the forecast period. Global Curing Agents market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launchings by the market players. 

Curing Agents Market Key Developments: 
  • In January 2017, Evonik Industries acquired the specialty additive division of Air Products and Chemicals (US) for US$ 3.8 billion. This acquisition helped Evonik increase its share in the global curing agents market.

Curing Agents Market Dynamics

The curing agents market is anticipated to witness significant growth in the future due to increasing coatings and construction industries. The fatigue performance of curing agents increases the composite mechanical properties in rotor blades, thus improving the performance of wind turbines. Owing to the increasing demand from the construction industry and wind energy industries the curing agents market is growing at a rapid rate. Curing agents are preferred for wind blade fabrications due to their high sheer, compressive strength, and low weight. With the development in technology, manufacturers of curing agents are coming up with new products and systems to help the manufacturers in the wind industry. Moreover, the market in emerging economies dominated the Europe Curing Agent Market due to the high demand from wind energy and construction industry.
