Phenolic Resins Market: By Type (Resol & Novolac) Application (Wood Adhesives, Molding, Laminates, Foundry, Insulation & Others) End User (Automotive, Construction, Furniture, Electrical & Electronics And Others) & Region - Forecast Till 2027

Phenolic Resins Market Overview:

The phenolic resins market has witnessed remarkable growth over the last five years and the market is anticipated to grow at same pace in the fourth coming years. 

Phenolic resins (CAS No. 9003-35-4) are a family of polymers and oligomers derived from the reaction between formaldehyde and phenol. These resins are the first commercial resins used in the manufacturing of molded products such as laboratory countertops and billiard balls. They are lightweight and serve vast range of application in the automotive, construction, and electronics industries. They exhibits outstanding properties such as high flame retardancy, chemical & temperature resistance, which made them usable in various end user application.

Phenolic resins exhibits good physical as well as chemicals properties such as mechanical strength, low toxicity, low smoke formation, and high thermal stability. Thus, these resins are highly preferred in respected end use industries, specifically, in automotive, construction, and electronics & electrical industries. Furthermore, growing demand from construction industry is the major driver of the phenolic resins market.   The automotive industry is likely to boost the growth of this market due its uses in vehicle production, which is increasing at an annual growth rate of 8.2%. Moreover, need for fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles expected to fuel the growth of this market. Factors such as growing focus towards R&D activities to innovate new products and technological advancements are anticipated to drive the demand for phenolic resins over the reforecast period. On the other side, consistent price fluctuation of raw material may affect the growth of the market, negatively.
