In 2024, New Zealand continued to rely on imports of unsaturated polyester resin, with top suppliers including Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, China, and Malaysia. Despite a high concentration level indicated by the HHI, the market saw a modest compound annual growth rate of 2.71% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024, dropping by -12.23%. This fluctuation could indicate shifting dynamics in the market or temporary disruptions impacting imports of unsaturated polyester resin into New Zealand.

The Unsaturated Polyester Resin market in New Zealand serves various industries, including construction, automotive, marine, and electrical, as a key raw material for composite manufacturing. Unsaturated polyester resins offer excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and versatility, making them indispensable in the production of composite materials.
The unsaturated polyester resin market is driven by its applications in construction, automotive, and marine industries. Its properties, such as high strength and chemical resistance, make it suitable for various composite materials, supporting market growth.
