The global formaldehyde market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region accounted for the maximum share of the market in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high demand for formaldehyde in various industries specially from the automotive and construction sector in the emerging countries such as China, India, and Indonesia. With the growing urbanization in the region, there is an increase in the residential and non-residential projects and the necessity of cars and lightweight vehicles grows. All these factors are responsible for the formaldehyde market growth in the region. North America and Europe are anticipated to observe the steady growth in various sectors during the forecast period.
Based on derivatives, the market is divided into Urea Formaldehyde (UF) resins, Phenol-Formaldehyde (PF) resins, MF resins, polyacetal resins, 1,4-butanediol, pentaerythritol, and methylenebis. PF resins are anticipated to observe the fastest growth during the forecast period due tothe high demand and consumption rate for laminate, plywood, and wood processing. Furthermore, it is also used in the aerospace and automobile industry due to its highly stable molding processing ability, optimum mechanical properties, and low cost. Market players are investing in the R& D activities and engage in the development of PF resin-based composite to increase its mechanical properties. However, UF resins dominate the market by considering its value and market share. This can be attributed to its widening application in the production of textiles, paper, rayon, blends, and wrinkle-resistant fabric. UF resins have favorable properties such as economical pricing, high reactivity, and high in performance.
