Market Overview

Dicyclopentadiene, commonly known as DCPD, is a substance having the chemical formula C10H12. It is a white, brittle wax at room temperature, though lesser purity samples might be liquids with a straw color. Less pure samples have a more overtly unpleasant odor, with the pure substance having a scent that is somewhat comparable to soy wax or camphor. Certain resins and insecticides are produced using DCPD as a chemical intermediary. Additionally, it goes into creating paints, varnishes, and plastic flame retardants. Inks, adhesives, and paints all employ it as well. Most DCPD is released into the environment during its production, usage, transit, or disposal, contaminating the air, water, and soil. DCPD rapidly transforms into less hazardous, simpler compounds when exposed to air. Though, it is stable for a long time in water and soil. When DCPD touches the skin, breathes, or is swallowed, it may have negative health effects. Eye, skin, and throat irritation are the health consequences of brief exposure to DCPD at 1 to 5 parts per million (ppm). When levels reach 0.003 ppm, some people can smell DCPD. However, at this level, no negative consequences are anticipated. It is unlikely that a single, brief encounter will hurt health. Repeated, prolonged exposure may harm the neurological system, kidneys, and lungs. Due to its unique qualities, DCPD resin is a popular choice for truck, car, and machinery outer bodies and vehicle coverings like hoods and shields. In the automotive and other industries, the product is chosen over thermoplastic polymer because it addresses automotive difficulties and lowers costs on the assembly line by consolidating parts. The product provides a superior surface look, which is made possible by using appropriate tools. To obtain the desired image and sporting style, DCPD pieces are finished to a high standard and prepared for painting. Additionally, its anti-corrosion qualities are suitable for maritime parts and caustic or chlorine industries, such as the cell cover. Its utilization in the marine industry will also increase due to its excellent electrical insulation, low thermal conductivity, and full chemical inertness to the reactants and products. Dicyclopentadiene is a petrochemical by-product of ethylene. Dicyclopentadiene is produced mostly from gas oils, crude oil, and naphtha. Therefore, price volatility in these raw materials could ultimately affect the price of the finished product. End users may choose phthalic anhydride and other alternatives as a result. The makers will also be able to choose resins like polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and other resins that fulfill the product's requirements due to the fluctuating price of raw materials.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the high purity segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 42% and market revenue of 385.2 Million.

Based on the grade, the dicyclopentadiene market is categorized into high purity, hydrocarbon grade, and polyester grade. In 2021, the high purity segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 42% and market revenue of 385.2 Million. The high purity grade segment is likely to account for the highest revenue in the market. In manufacturing flavors and fragrances, ethyl norbornene, cyclic olefin co-polymers, and antioxidants of high purity grade are primarily used. To create resins for a wide range of uses, they can also be employed as raw materials. Ultra-high purity DCPD products offer dicyclopentadiene with a purity level above 98%. Due to improved high purity grade properties, DCPD products have improved cost performance and offer greater value. Due to increased reactivity, less processing waste, manufacture of higher quality end products, and improved physical & chemical properties of final goods, ultra-high purity DCPD products have enhanced qualities in applications and impart improved processing.

• In 2021, the unsaturated polyester resin segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 21% and market revenue of 192.6 Million.

Based on application, the dicyclopentadiene market is categorized into hydrocarbon resins, EPDM elastomers, cyclic olefin polymer (COP) & copolymer (COC), unsaturated polyester resin, and Poly-DCPD. In 2021, the unsaturated polyester resin segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 21% and market revenue of 192.6 Million. The unsaturated polyester resin segment has accounted for the largest revenue in the market. The production of glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), which are primarily used in the marine, construction, and transportation industries, requires unsaturated polyester resin as a key component. Additionally, it is employed in manufacturing non-reinforced casting resins that are utilized to create solid-surface countertops, automotive repair putty, and other products like gel coatings, etc. Due to their low styrene content and minimal shrinkage, low-cost thermosetting resins called DCPD unsaturated polyester resins have dominated the industry. Additionally, they offer higher thermo-oxidative resistance, reduced linear shrinkage, and improved processability.
