The phenolic resins market is estimated to be valued at USD 13.31 Bn in 2024 and exhibit at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2024 to 2031. Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers that are produced by the reaction of phenol or substituted phenol with formaldehyde. They are thermosetting resins and are excellent electrical insulators with high bond strength and heat resistance. Phenolic resins find wide application in wood adhesives, molding compounds, laminates, paper impregnation, insulation, and friction materials due to their properties. Increasing demand from the construction and automotive industries as well as growth of the electrical and electronics sectors is expected to drive demand for phenolic resins over the forecast period.

 Market Dynamics:

The global phenolic resins market is driven by robust growth of the construction industry. Phenolic resins are widely used in wood adhesives for building and construction applications owing to their high heat resistance and dimensional stability. Rapid urbanization and increasing construction of residential and commercial buildings in developing nations is driving consumption. Moreover, wide application in automotive brakes, clutch facing and other friction components on account of their high friction coefficient and temperature resistance also supports market growth. However, volatility in raw material prices may hamper market growth. Development of bio-based phenolic resins using renewable feedstock presents lucrative opportunities for market players.
