Phenolic Resins Market, by Product Type, by Application, and by Region - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030

Phenolic resins, phenolic formaldehyde, or phenol resins are synthetic polymers obtained by the synthesis of phenolic or substituted phenol by formaldehyde. Typically used as a base for Bakelite, these chemical resistant resins were the very first commercial synthetic moisturizers. Used as a skin protective agent, these chemical-resistant resins have excellent skin protection properties and do not yellow easily. Formaldehyde is a colorless, odorless, and caustic chemical that is derived from natural gas and used in most of the artificial preservatives in food.

Market Dynamics

Phenolic resins have been widely adopted since the early twentieth century and are considered the first class of synthetic polymers to attain commercial success. According to Coherent Market Insights, robust growth in the construction industry in the U.S. is projected to offer immense growth opportunities over the forecast period. For instance, in 2020, the U.S. federal budget allocated US$ 200 billion for infrastructure priorities across a range of sectors, including water infrastructure. Also, increasing renovation and construction of new residential as well as commercial infrastructure is further anticipated to foster the phenolic resins market growth over the forecast timeframe.

Growing demand for phenolic resins for application in wood adhesive is projected to create enormous growth opportunities for the market over the forecast timeframe. Due to its exceptional water resistance, water diluting ability, excellent moisture resistance, and weather resistance property, it is widely used in the creation of wood adhesive. Thus, growing demand for wood adhesive from a wide range of end-use industries is expected to fuel the market growth in the near future.

According to Coherent Market Insights in 2020, nano-modification of phenolic resins through nanotechnology is expected to bring favorable market opportunities over the forecast period. This helps in offering more thermal stability and makes it suitable for high-temperature applications. Also, increasing use of this materials in fire-resistant platforms, deluge pipes, and other instruments for offshore drilling activities is propelling the market growth. Thus, the nano-modification of phenolic resins will favor the market growth in the near future.
