Epoxy resin markets in the US moved higher through early March after a prolonged sideways pattern, signaling a shift in buyer sentiment. February was relatively muted, characterized by steady interest and normal operating rates, but early March saw pockets of restocking and selective demand across automotive components, industrial coatings, and composites, underpinning price movements. Overall sentiment remains neutral-to-firmer as participants reassess inventories following the prior range-bound period. Epoxy resin demand appears steady in traditional end-uses with selective improvement among specific buyers, supporting the latest upturn without broad-based spikes. Supply conditions stayed steady, with routine production and no major outages, contributing to limited volatility. While the cost supports the feedstock, supporting the production economy. The liquid-grade and semi-solid epoxy markets were described as maintaining cautious but resilient pricing patterns, while the 12-week moving average hovered near prior levels.
