Bio-based Epoxy Resin Market Overview:
By type, soybean oil-based resins lead with a 25.7% share in 2025, followed by vegetable oil-based resins, lignin-based resins, cardanol-based resins and furan-based resins. By application, paints & coatings lead with a 46.9% share, followed by composites, laminates and adhesives. By end-use, building & construction leads with a 34.6% share, followed by automotive & transportation with 23.0%. By region, Europe leads with a 32.9% share, followed by Asia Pacific with 29.8% and North America with 28.8%. Middle East & Africa holds 4.4% and Latin America holds 4.1%.
The main trend in this market is the move from partly bio-based resins toward bisphenol-free resins with higher bio-based content. This is supported by tighter chemical rules and by buyers asking for verified low-carbon materials in all major regions.

| Drivers | Tighter Regulations on Bisphenols and Growing Demand for Verified Low-Carbon Materials |
| Progress in Renewable Raw Materials and Resin Development across Europe, U.S. and Asia Pacific |
Tighter Regulations on Bisphenols and Growing Demand for Verified Low-Carbon Materials
In North America, bio-based content is often documented through the USDA BioPreferred labeling program, which US producers have used to measure renewable ingredients in epoxy formulations. In Asia, the focus is on raw material supply and new chemistry, as described under the second driver. In all regions, buyers are asking for measured bio-based content. The EU’s EmpCo Directive, which applies from 27 September 2026, sets stricter requirements for environmental claims.
Since chemical rules, customer sustainability targets and labeling requirements all apply at the same time, this driver supports steady demand for bio-based resins in paints & coatings, construction and automotive uses in every region.
Progress in Renewable Raw Materials and Resin Development across Europe, U.S. and Asia Pacific
In the United States, Gougeon Brothers, the maker of WEST SYSTEM and PRO-SET epoxies, acquired Entropy Resins of California in 2018. This added bio-based epoxy formulations for adhesives, coatings and composites. In Asia, a 2026 patent landscape found that China accounted for about 30 of more than 50 bio-based epoxy filing records reviewed. Korean companies are also active, including a 2025 isosorbide-based epoxy filing by Kukdo Chemical and related resin filings by LG Chem in February 2026. In Thailand, Solvay’s Epicerol plant makes epichlorohydrin from renewable glycerol, which shows that bio-based supply for the epoxy backbone already exists at commercial scale.
This progress is spread across regions and raw materials. It supports lignin-based, cardanol-based and furan-based resins as they move from research toward products, while vegetable oil-based resins remain the largest group.
Bio-based Epoxy Resin Regional Market Outlook:
Asia Pacific holds a 29.8% share. Demand is supported by large construction and manufacturing sectors, active research and patent filing in China, Korea and Japan, and commercial renewable epichlorohydrin supply in Thailand.
North America holds a 28.8% share. Demand is supported by the USDA BioPreferred labeling system, an established bio-based epoxy supply base, and demand from construction, marine and composites users.
Middle East & Africa holds a 4.4% share and Latin America holds a 4.1% share. Both regions have smaller markets linked to construction and industrial coatings demand
