North America phenolic resin market is expected to reach USD 4.20 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Phenolic resins are increasingly being used in application such as wood adhesives, and laminates & coatings. These application segments are further driven by construction activities; therefore, an increase in housing starts and commercial construction projects are touted to drive demand in the future.
The requirement for heat resistant & flame retardant compounds in automotive & aircraft manufacturing is also likely to present opportunities for the industry growth in future. Additionally, the products’ exceptional chemical & physical properties such as high tensile strength, low toxicity & easy blending make it ideal for ablators, insulative materials, coatings, and other products.
Resols emerged as the leading product segment with nearly 50% volume share in 2015. Their usage as adhesives, reinforcing agents, and binders is a key driving factor for the segment growth. In terms of consumption, Mexico offers greater opportunities for resols, with its growth projected at 3% from 2016 to 2024.
