According to Fortune Business Insights the global resin market size was USD 593.94 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 623.27 billion in 2025 to USD 875.41 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Resin is typically a solid or highly viscous material that can be sourced naturally from plants or produced synthetically in laboratories. In nature, plants generate resins either as part of their normal growth or as a response to injury. In industrial settings, various manufacturing processes are employed to produce resinous materials and convert them into end-use products. Growing demand from a wide range of end-use industries is driving the expansion of the resin market.
