Phenolic Resins Market Overview, Demand, Global Industry Share, COVID-19 Analysis and Growth 2027
Phenolic Resins Market Overview
Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers
which are formed by step-growth polymerization. They are known for their
outstanding heat resistance and belong to the category of thermo set resins. Phenolic resins find their
application in a myriad of industrial products. Phenolic resins are used in molding, insulation, laminated
veneer lumber, laminates, sand binders,
coatings, foams, abrasives and others.
They are
widely used as wood adhesives owing to high bonding strength, heat
resistance, excellent water resistance and chemical stability. Being relatively
inexpensive and highly versatile, they are used intensively in automotive,
electrical, construction and appliance industries. Some features typical of phenolic resins are high strength level, high mechanical stability, excellent fire, and
smoke, and low toxicity, superior
electrical and thermal insulating capabilities which are driving the market.
Market Research Future (MRFR), projects that the global phenolic resins market
will grow steadily during the forecast period 2015-2027. Increasing application
of phenolic resins in end-user industries has contributed to the growth of the
market.
Growing R&D activities and increased
customization offer lucrative growth opportunities. Increasing demand for phenolic resins in aerospace, transportation and automotive industry has further driven the
growth of the market. Due to its versatile nature, more and more industries are trying to integrate phenolic
resins into their products to improve their performance. However, environmental
regulations regarding formaldehyde emissions might hamper the growth of the
market. Phenolic resins are made up of phenol which is a petroleum-based product.
Declining fossil fuel reserve coupled with the high
price of petroleum might constrain the use of phenolic resins. Furthermore, fluctuations in the price of raw
materials, threat from
alternatives, high manufacturing, and processing and production costs are major hindrances to the market.
