The byproducts of petroleum cracking are petroleum resins. These materials are also referred to as hydrocarbon resins. These are synthetic resins created through chemical processes and polymerization. Various feedstock, including aliphatic (C5), aromatic (C9), DCPD (dicyclopentadiene), and mixtures thereof, are used to produce petroleum resins.

Petroleum resins are utilized in a variety of applications, such as paints, coatings, adhesives and sealants, rubber, inks, and plastic compounding industries, and others. Moreover, there has been an increase in the demand for petroleum resins in hot melt adhesives. This is due to its characteristics, which include low odor and high thermal stability.

Excellent adhesion of petroleum resins, even at high temperatures and pressures, is one of the primary factors driving the global market for petroleum resins. The substantial demand for petroleum resins from a variety of end-use industries, such as coatings, paints, adhesives and sealants, and inks, polymerization and chemical processing contributes toward the expansion of the market. The rise in cost of feedstock is a significant challenge for the global market since naphtha, which is derived from crude oil, is the feedstock for petroleum resins. Due to the volatility of crude oil prices, the prices of these petroleum-based resins are typically unstable.

This has a negative effect on manufacturers' profitability, which is anticipated to impede market expansion. The development of environment-friendly bio-based resin composites is another factor that impedes the expansion of the global market for petroleum resins. The bio-based alternatives have a lower volatile organic compound (VOC) content and are typically safer than petrochemical resins. There is a growing trend of expanding the product portfolio with innovative products as the market for petroleum resins is consolidated, with a small number of global players holding the majority of market shares. Manufacturers are utilizing product innovation as a differentiating characteristic to gain an advantage over their rivals. On the global petroleum resins market, there has also been continuous research and development for the creation of a higher grade with enhanced properties and thermal stability.

The producers of petroleum resins are discovering new market opportunities in applications such as protective coatings, roofing, and the closures of cases and cartons. Chemical companies are investing more money into their research bases to improve their capacity to produce resins with superior pigment wetting, thermoplastic, and non-reactive properties. This is being done to increase the amount of end-use product and raw material that is taken in.

The production of resins that are excellent at water repellency, have a low molecular weight, and provide good color stability in commercial printing inks is increasing. These resins are highly sought after due to the qualities that they possess. Both reinforcing and non-reinforcing fillers can be used by companies in the hydrocarbon resins industry to produce products with enhanced self - adhesive retention and resistance to oxygen and ultraviolet (UV) light. In the production of these goods, it is possible to make use of either reinforcing or non-reinforcing fillers as appropriate.

Countries such as Japan and South Korea are experiencing a surge as a result of the growth in urbanization as well as the robust growth of the automotive and construction sectors.
