Dublin, Feb. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Curing Agents Market by Type (Epoxy, Polyurethane, Silicone Rubber, and Others), Application (Coatings, Electrical & Electronics, Composites, Adhesives, Construction, Wind Energy, and Others), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The curing agents market exhibits high growth potential and is projected to reach a market size of USD 5.90 billion by 2023 from USD 4.25 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 6.80%.

Curing agents aid cross-linking within the ingredients that harden and deliver strength to the product. Hence, these are additives are used to cure or harden different materials in different surroundings. Increased demand for curing agents in applications such as coatings, wind energy, electrical & electronics, construction, composites, adhesives, and others in India, China, Brazil, Southeast Asia, and Mexico are expected to change the market dynamics in the near future.

The demand for curing agents is mainly increasing in applications such as coating (marine, decorative floor, flexible, chemical resistant, architectural, and general industrial coatings), wind energy (blades, rotor, and other parts), construction (concrete primers, mortars & grouts, crack sealing & injection, and self-leveling flooring), adhesives (adhesives and laminates), composites (tooling, and fiber-reinforced composite), and electrical & electronics (potting compounds, casting, and encapsulation) across the globe.

APAC is the largest curing agents market and is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising awareness about the use of eco-friendly adhesives and growing demand from the applications such as coatings, wind energy, electrical & electronics, construction, composites, adhesives, and others. Research institutions and various manufacturers are taking initiatives and making huge investments in R&D of curing agents in terms of cost, durability, and improvement of properties of the curing agents on the basis of applications.

The growing usage of epoxy resins in end-use industries is the major driver of the market. The use of curing agents has certain restraints which arise due to the environmental regulations in the European countries. Health organizations are regulating the use of curing agents in applications where human exposure is high as it is thought to lead to some serious problems and hazards to human health.
