The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.

Challenges
The trimer acid market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into coating, adhesives & sealants, elastomers, synthetic lubricants, and others. Out of these, the adhesives & sealants segment is expected to garner the highest revenue by 2031. The significant boost in the construction industry is expected to increase the demand for adhesives & sealants for the construction of buildings during the forecast period. As per the United States Census Bureau, till June 2021, there were 142,153,010 housing units in the U.S. Furthermore, the building permits in the same period were 1,736,982 units. Further, the growing population and urbanization in developing countries have played a critical role in driving demand for adhesives & sealants, thereby, propelling the trimer acid market in the forecast period. Besides, several applications of adhesives & sealants in the construction industry, such as tiling, wallpapers, and exterior insulation systems in commercial buildings, have made notable contributions to driving the global trimer acid market. In 2018, the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) stated that there were approximately 5.9 million U.S. commercial buildings in 2018.
Regionally, the global trimer acid market is studied into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. Amongst these, the market in Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2031, owing to the great investments made in the construction industry. As per recent estimates, in 2020, the construction industry value in China amounted to USD 1,060 billion. Further, the increasing construction activities is projected to expand the utilization of trimer acid for various processes. In fiscal year 2021, infrastructure activities in India accounted for a 13% share of the total FDI inflows of USD 82 billion.
