In the textile industry, epichlorohydrin is used to change the carboxyl groups in wool. The end outcome is a product that is more and more resistant to moths. Another application for epichlorohydrin is the synthesis of wool-like, protein-modified fibers that are resistant to mold and insects and prefer acid coloring. Epichlorohydrin is also used to create polyolefin, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride, dye-capable polypropylene fibers, and among other fibers.

Growing Demand for Epoxy Resin: Epoxy resins find use in paint, electronics, adhesives, automotive, and construction, among other industries. This is propelling the epoxy resin industry's growth, which is fueling the epichlorohydrin global epichlorohydrin market's expansion. The industries that produce epoxy resin are the main epichlorohydrin users, and thus growth in the global epichlorohydrin market is mostly due to these businesses. 

North America is dominating with the largest epichlorohydrin market share. The growing demand for epoxy resins in North America's aerospace industry is expected to push the epichlorohydrin market significantly. Epichlorohydrin is an important raw element in the synthesis of epoxy resins, which are widely utilized in aircraft due to their lightweight, durable, and high-performance characteristics. As aerospace manufacturers work to lower aircraft weight and increase fuel efficiency, the use of epoxy resins has increased, notably in composite materials. In 2023, Boeing announced intentions to boost manufacturing of the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner models, both of which rely significantly on epoxy resin composites.
