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.
