Furan resin is a thermosetting polymer made from furan derivatives, which are obtained from organic materials such as agricultural waste. It is primarily used as a binder in casting processes, where it binds sand particles together to create molds or cores for metal casting. The main function of furan resin in casting is to produce strong, durable molds and cores capable of withstanding the high temperatures and stresses associated with molten metal.
The key types of furan resin used in casting are furfuryl alcohol resin, furfural resin, and furfural ketone resin. Furfuryl alcohol resin, derived from furfuryl alcohol, is known for its superior mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability. These resins are applied in the production of cast steel, cast iron, and alloys, serving various industries including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing.

The furan resin for casting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $64.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in low-emission and environmentally friendly resins, rising use in alloy and cast steel production, increasing demand in precision casting applications, adoption in high-temperature resistant castings, technological advancements in resin formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include use of furfuryl alcohol resin in foundry applications, adoption of furfural resin for high-temperature castings, expansion of furfural ketone resin for automotive and aerospace, integration of low-emission and eco-friendly resin formulations, increasing demand for specialty and high-performance resins.
The increasing demand for lightweight materials in the aerospace industry is expected to drive growth in the furan resin for castings market. The aerospace industry involves businesses that design, produce, and service aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems, covering both commercial and defense sectors. The need for lightweight materials in aerospace is driven by the requirement for fuel efficiency, as lighter aircraft consume less fuel, reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact. Furan resin supports the aerospace industry by enabling the casting of strong, yet lightweight components, which helps reduce aircraft weight by producing complex and durable parts. For example, in June 2025, the Aerospace Industries Association, a US-based aerospace and defense organization, reported that U.S. aerospace and defense exports increased to $138.6 billion in 2024, up from $135.9 billion in 2023. As a result, the growing demand from the aerospace industry for lightweight materials is driving the furan resin for castings market.
The growing construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the furan resin for casting market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses the planning, design, development, construction, renovation, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure. Increased construction activity is driving the demand for metal components and machinery, which in turn boosts the use of furan resin binders in foundries for high-quality castings. Furan resin for casting is crucial in construction by enabling the production of durable and precise metal components used in structural frameworks, machinery, and equipment, ensuring strength, reliability, and safety in building projects. For example, in February 2025, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that total annual construction output increased by 0.4% in 2024 compared to 2023. As a result, the growth in the construction industry is fueling the demand for furan resin in casting applications.
