Urea Market Opportunity Drivers: What Is Creating New Revenue Potential?
The expansion of the construction sector is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the unsaturated polyester resins market. This industry is involved in maintaining, repairing, and erecting new buildings and structures. The growth in the building and construction industry propels the unsaturated polyester resins industry because these resins possess valuable characteristics such as rapid strength gain, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, high impact strength, and excellent compressive strength, which are beneficial in construction activities. For instance, in July 2023, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian-based government administration, the March quarter of 2023 observed an increase in the number of dwellings under construction to 240,813 from 240,065 in 2022. Among these, new houses reached 103,778 in 2023, an increase from 101,240 in the previous year. Therefore, the expansion within the construction industry is driving the unsaturated polyester resins market.
