Honduras`s import trend for unsaturated polyester resin showed significant growth from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of 20.95%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at 2.85%. This uptick in imports could be attributed to increased demand from the construction and automotive industries in the region.

Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR) are widely used in the manufacturing of composite materials, especially in automotive, construction, and marine industries. In Honduras, the market for UPR is experiencing growth due to the increasing demand for lightweight, durable materials. UPR is ideal for producing items such as fiberglass and reinforced plastics. The rise in infrastructure development and demand for advanced composite materials in various industries is fueling the expansion of this market.
The Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market in Honduras is being driven by the growing demand for durable, lightweight materials in various industries, particularly in automotive, construction, and marine sectors. UPRs are commonly used in the manufacturing of fiberglass-reinforced plastics, which are favored for their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. As the automotive and construction industries continue to expand in Honduras, the need for cost-effective, high-performance materials like UPRs is expected to grow.
The Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market in Honduras faces challenges related to fluctuations in raw material prices, which affect production costs and profit margins. The presence of cheaper alternatives, such as epoxy and vinyl ester resins, also limits market expansion. Additionally, concerns over the environmental impact of polyester resins, including their non-biodegradability and emissions during production, pose regulatory and sustainability challenges.
The Honduran governments policies supporting the construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries are contributing to the growth of the Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market. The government has been promoting infrastructure development, including housing and transportation projects, where UPR-based composites are widely used. Policies aimed at improving the manufacturing capabilities and fostering innovation in the chemical sector also support the adoption of UPR products. Furthermore, regulations related to environmental sustainability and the use of eco-friendly materials encourage the growth of UPR as a preferred material for various applications.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
