Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, and Forecast | 2023-2028

Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) Market is expected to reach USD 1274.71 million by 2028 from USD 922.31 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 5.54% during the forecast period of 2023-2028.

Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) is the dimer of cyclopentadiene produced through the Diels-Alder Reaction. It is a colorless, flammable liquid or solid with a camphor-like odor. DCPD products are used in a wide variety of resins, such as unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin, hydrocarbon resin, and phenolic resin. Apart from resins, DCPD is also used to produce paints, varnishes, insecticides, elastomers, flame retardants for plastics, and hot melt adhesives.

DCPD is principally available in three grades: Resin grade, UPR grade, and High purity grade. Resin grade is mainly used to produce cyclo aliphatic and C5/C9 whereas UPR grade is used to produce unsaturated polyester resins; and high purity grade is mainly used to produce antioxidants, flavors & fragrances, and cyclic olefin copolymers. Resin grade and high-purity grades can also be used to produce unsaturated polyester resins.
