The import shipments of unsaturated polyester resins to Nigeria in 2024 saw a significant shift in concentration, moving from a moderate to high concentration according to the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Top exporting countries to Nigeria included Taiwan, Turkey, UAE, Germany, and China. The industry experienced a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -12.25% from 2020 to 2024, with a steep decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -27.36%. This data suggests a challenging market environment for unsaturated polyester resins imports in Nigeria, with potential implications for market players and stakeholders.

Similar to the broader UPR market, the specific market for Unsaturated Polyester Resins in Nigeria is expanding, particularly in the construction and automotive sectors. The versatility of these resins in producing lightweight and high-strength composite materials makes them highly desirable. Additionally, the push towards sustainable and efficient building materials is further propelling the market, with innovations in resin formulations enhancing performance and environmental compliance.
The Nigeria Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) market is experiencing robust growth attributed to the expanding construction, automotive, and marine industries in the country. Unsaturated polyester resins are widely used in various applications, including composites manufacturing, laminating, casting, and construction materials. The growing infrastructure development projects, increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials, and rising investments in the automotive and marine sectors are driving the demand for UPR in Nigeria. Additionally, technological advancements, such as the development of bio-based and sustainable UPR formulations, are further contributing to market expansion by addressing environmental concerns and enhancing product performance.
The unsaturated polyester resin market in Nigeria faces challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices, limited technological advancements, and competition from alternative resin materials. Additionally, issues related to environmental regulations and sustainability may impact market growth.
Similar to the broader unsaturated polyester resin market, the focus is on enhancing local manufacturing and reducing import reliance. Government policies emphasize developing industrial parks, improving infrastructure, and providing financial incentives to attract foreign and local investments. Environmental regulations also promote the use of eco-friendly materials and production processes, aligning with global sustainability trends.
