Reactive diluents Market Overview
The global reactive diluents market size was USD 952.00 Million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1,528.28 Million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
Thinners, also known as reactive diluents, are used to reduce the viscosity of substances. It not only lowers viscosity but also aids in the polymerization of the substance to which it is added. To boost the epoxy resin’s flexibility and handling qualities, reactive diluents are routinely used.
The reactive diluent is made up of glycidyl ethers derived from short-chain aliphatic alkylphenols or alcohols with a low viscosity. This is used to lower the viscosity of epoxy resins and to make them easier to manage and process in a variety of applications. Reactive diluents also help with qualities including thermal stability, tensile strength, filter loading, and adhesion. Epoxy resins are widely utilized in the production of coatings, paints, composites, adhesives, and sealants. Solvent-based and waterborne coatings and paints both require reactive diluents. The release of volatile organic molecules is reduced by reactive diluents (VOCs).

Rising demand for reactive diluents across different applications such as paint and coating and composites is a major factor estimated to drive the growth of the potential market in the next 10 years. In addition, rising demand for a reactive diluent in the production of adhesives and sealants is predicted to drive revenue growth in the prospective market over the next ten years.
One of the primary factors driving the growth of the reactive diluents market is the increased use of composite materials around the world. The widespread use of reactive diluents to increase qualities such as impact and tensile strength, filler loading, flexibility, adhesion, and thermal stability, as well as lower volatility and solvent resistance, is propelling the industry forward. The market is also influenced by an increase in demand for the product in adhesives and sealants, polymers and composites, and paints and coatings formulations to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Furthermore, the market for reactive diluents benefits from rapid industrialization, rising environmental concerns, increased investments, and the expansion of the worldwide construction sector. Moreover, in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029, technological advancements provide profitable opportunities for market players.
On the other hand, the increased usage of low-cost replacements such as phenolic resins, as well as tight rules governing epoxy resin production, are projected to stifle market expansion. The reactive diluents market is expected to be challenged by the unpredictable pricing of epoxy resin raw materials during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
Moreover, rising demand for reactive diluent from the automotive, building & construction, and marine industries is likely to drive the target market’s growth throughout the forecast period. Other factors projected to fuel the prospective market’s growth include rising demand for materials with high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, as well as increased investments in R&D and the development of innovative goods.
However, the increasing usage of low-cost replacements such as phenolic resins, as well as strict regulatory requirements governing the use of epoxy resins, are projected to limit the global market’s growth to some extent.
