The global dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) market is highly fragmented due to the presence of various large and small players operating in the market, observes Transparency Market Research. Competition among these players is also expected to rise in the coming years. Leading players in the market are adopting new strategies such as collaboration, mergers, partnership, and other to get a firm hold in the market.
