The global phenolic resin market size was valued at $8.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $12.8 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2031.

Phenolic resins are a type of synthetic thermosetting resin obtained by the reaction of phenols with formaldehyde. Phenolic resins are divided into two different types, Novolac and Resol. Both have high-temperature stability up to 300°-350°C, and high water and chemical stability. Depending on composition and specification, the material is available in powder, granule, or liquid form. Phenolic resins are often dark-colored from yellow to dark red and have an excellent price/performance profile.

Growth in the metal fabrication, automotive, and industrial machinery industries across the globe is expected to increase demand for abrasive tools for grinding, polishing, cutting, and other tasks. This is expected to increase the demand for grinding wheels based on phenolic resin coatings. Phenolic resin bonds are still used in the production of grinding wheels and big saran wheels among other tool-room applications. It is also used in other bonded and coated abrasives. Novolac resins enhance the performance of abrasive materials and improve their shelf life. The toughness and elasticity of coated abrasives are further enhanced with modified phenolic resins. All such factors positively influence the global phenolic resin market.

Phenolic resin is obtained by the reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. Petroleum is the key source of raw materials used in manufacturing phenolic resins. However, the rise in environmental pollution and fossil fuel depletion have driven industries to seek sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based raw materials. Hence, environmental regulations on the production of phenolic resin are expected to hamper its production, thus affecting the global phenolic resin market over the forecast period. However, Over the past few years, researchers have been successful in replacing phenol and formaldehyde with more sustainable materials such as lignin, tannin, cardanol, hydroxymethylfurfural, and glyoxal to produce bio-based phenolic resins. Therefore, future research on improving sustainability of phenolic resins will be focused on enhancing their properties, especially mechanical aspects, improving the preparation of their raw materials from bioresources, and broadening their application in a variety of industries. Thus, the development of bio-based phenolic resins offers lucrative opportunities for the Global phenolic resin market growth.

The global phenolic resin market is segmented on the basis of type, application, end-use industry, and region. By type, the market is divided into resol and novolac. By application, it is divided into friction, adhesives & binding, coatings, felt bonding, foam, abrasives, substrate saturation, foundry, and others. On the basis of the end-use industry, the market is divided into electrical & electronics, automotive, lumber, building & construction, and others. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Key players engaged in the development and production of phenolic resins is Akrochem Corporation, Allnex GMBH, Ashland Global Holdings Inc, ASK Chemicals GmbH, Bakelite Synthetics, BASF SE, Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, Hexcel Corporation, Kraton Corporation, and Prefere Resins Holding GmbH.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL PHENOLIC RESIN MARKET


The COVID-19 pandemic hit the major end users of phenolic resins such as automotive, general industrial, and construction, thereby hampering the growth of the market during the forecast period. Due to labor shortages and practical issues with wide social distances, the consumer electronic furniture industries are also hampered in their ability to continue operating. The situation is expected to recover, which is likely to restore market growth in the forecast period. The travel restrictions and restrictions also had an impact on the automotive and transportation sectors, which resulted in a reduction in production and sales that had an impact on the market for phenolic resin.

Executive Summary

According to this report, titled, 'Phenolic Resin Market,' the phenolic resin market size was valued at $8.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $12.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2031.

Phenolic resin has emerged as a major additive in applications such as building materials, paints, coatings, circuit boards, adhesives, and insulation panels. This trend is projected to continue during the forecast period as high-end mechanical and thermal properties make resin an inevitable choice for many industrial applications.

The largest end use of phenolic resin is in lumber markets, where it is used as an adhesive in the production of particle boards and plywood. The furniture industry is ever-evolving with new aesthetic designs and patterns being launched. This increases the demand for furniture raw materials, of which wood constitutes the majority contribution. The increasing demand for furniture is beneficial for the phenolic resin market growth. Phenolic resin is used widely in the automotive, electrical and electronics, and construction industries. These phenolic resin market trends are expected to boost the market over the forecast period
However, present price fluctuation in fuel prices and the rise in focus on minimizing health issues caused, owing to phenolic resin products increases concern among consumers. This hampers the use of phenolic resins during the forecast period. Although, this concern could be sorted by the development of bio-based feedstock that uses sustainable materials such as Lignin for phenolic resin production. Phenolic resins have been produced from bioresources and are used as adhesives in the wood industry. Natural chemicals can significantly reduce harmful impacts on the environment and human health.

The global phenolic resin market analysis is segmented on the basis of type, application, end-use industry, and region. By type, the market is divided into resol and novolac. On the basis of type, the Novolac resin segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, owing to its wide range of end-use applications in electronics, construction, automotive, and paints.

By application, it is divided into friction, adhesives & binding, coatings, felt bonding, foam, abrasives, substrate saturation, foundry, and others. The adhesives & binding segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the global phenolic resin market in 2021. Phenolic resin-based adhesives and binders have a wide spectrum of applications such as in automotive, rubber, furniture, aerospace, and machine tools.

By end-use industry, the electrical & electronics segment accounted for the largest share in 2021, owing to the use of phenolic resins for photoresists and circuit board applications.

Region-wise, Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share in the market and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. An increase in construction and automotive markets in countries such as China and Japan has benefited the Global phenolic resin market.

Key players in the phenolic resin industry include Akrochem Corporation, Allnex GMBH, Ashland Global Holdings Inc, ASK Chemicals GmbH, Bakelite Synthetics, BASF SE, Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, Hexcel Corporation, Kraton Corporation, Prefere Resins Holding GmbH. These players have been adopting various strategies to gain a higher share or to retain leading positions in the market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL PHENOLIC RESIN MARKET

Europe is a key supplier of phenolic resins, thus restrictions put on European countries to contain and minimize the spread of the virus reduced demand for adhesives, coated abrasives, laminates, coatings, and other phenolic resin-based products during the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2021, the operations of various end-use industries have started normally which helped to increase demand for phenolic resin from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and others.

KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

On the basis of type, the novolac segment emerged as the global leader by acquiring more than 55.0% of the phenolic resin market share in 2021 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the adhesives and binding segment accounted for 29.1% of the global phenolic resin market share in FY2021.

On the basis of end-use industry, the electrical and electronics segment accounted for 28.7% of the global market share in FY2021.

On the basis of region, Asia-Pacific is the major consumer of Phenolic resin among other regions. It accounted for around 36.5% of the global market share in 2021.
