  • Latest News- Formaldehyde Market: Urea formaldehyde is expected to lead the Application segment during 2025-2029

    The Formaldehyde Market is being driven by Growing construction industry

    The Formaldehyde Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 2585.3 million. The global formaldehyde market is undergoing a significant transformation, expanding into new industries beyond its traditional applications in construction and automotive sectors. This shift is fueled by technological innovations and the strategic imperative to reduce reliance on mature markets, which are increasingly subject to regulatory restrictions and market saturation. One of the most promising emerging sectors is the agrochemical industry, where formaldehyde serves as a crucial ingredient in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. Its antimicrobial properties significantly enhance the efficacy of soil treatment solutions and seed disinfectants. With the intensification of agricultural systems to address global food security challenges, particularly in developing regions, the demand for formaldehyde-based agrochemicals is surging.
