Isophoronediamine Market Report Overview

The global isophoronediamine market size was USD 0.67 billion in 2023 and the market is projected to touch USD 0.83 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period.

Isophoronediamine (IPDA) is a specialty chemical compound primarily used as a curing agent in the production of epoxy resins, which are widely used in various industries, including automotive, construction, electronics, and coatings. It is known for its high-performance characteristics, including excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and adhesion properties.

The market is driven by factors including growing demand for epoxy coatings and adhesives in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries, increasing use of polyurethane materials in various applications, including automotive, furniture, and construction, rising interest in high-performance polymers for specialized applications.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Hampered the Market Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains, including those in the chemical industry. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and labor shortages impacted the production and transportation of chemicals and raw materials. The demand for chemicals varied depending on their end-use industries. Some industries, like pharmaceuticals and healthcare, experienced increased demand for certain chemicals, while others, like automotive and construction, saw a decline in demand due to reduced economic activity. Price volatility was a common occurrence in the chemical industry during the pandemic. Factors such as supply disruptions, fluctuations in demand, and changes in raw material prices influenced chemical prices. Some chemical companies shifted their production to meet the increased demand for essential chemicals, including those used in pharmaceuticals, sanitizers, and personal protective equipment (PPE). As the pandemic evolved and vaccination efforts progressed, some chemical markets began to recover. However, the pace and extent of recovery varied by region and industry.
