Dicyclopentadiene Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Grade (High Purity, UPR, Resin Grade), By End-User Industry (Construction, Automotive, Electrical & Electronics, Other), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Dicyclopentadiene abbreviated as DCPD, is an organic compound with formula C₁₀H₁₂. At standard room temperature it is observed as a colorless crystalline solid with acrid odor. It is generally coproduced in steam cracking of naptha and gas oil to ethylene. It is used in production of resins, inks, polyester resins, adhesives and paints. It is also used as important viable chemical for various products.

Increasing demand for dicyclopentadiene in manufacturing resins like polyester, epoxy, phenolic resin specialty, hydrocarbon and unsaturated polyester resin shall drive the market. Additionally, the increasing scope of application of dicyclopentadiene such as varnishes, paints, elastomers, flame retardants, metallocenes, pesticides and others shall positively impact dicyclopentadiene market growth.

However, dicyclopentadiene is use in several exploration and production activities. Increasing concerns regarding the breakdown and buildup of chemicals in environment is expected to hinder the DCPD market growth.

Key Market Driver -

Increasing demand for plastic from end-use sector.

Key Market Restraint -

Environmental concerns associated with E&P activities.
