Latest News- Phenolic Resin Market: Novolac resin is expected to lead the Product segment during 2025-2029

The Phenolic Resin Market is being driven by Increasing demand for phenolic resins in automotive industry

The Phenolic Resin Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 4558.8 million. The formaldehyde resin manufacturing sector is currently grappling with significant challenges due to the health hazards associated with formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Moreover, the reliance on crude oil-derived phenol for producing phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins has sparked a need for more sustainable and non-toxic alternatives. One promising substitute is 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), which can replace formaldehyde in urea-formaldehyde (UF), melamine-formaldehyde (MF), and PF resins. Research and development efforts are focused on fully integrating 5-HMF as a replacement for formaldehyde, with the ultimate goal of producing bio-based lignin-HMF resins. This shift towards more eco-friendly and non-toxic alternatives is a crucial step towards enhancing sustainability and reducing health risks in the resin industry.
