Electric Vehicles is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Phenolic Resins Market
Market Overview:
Phenolic
resins are synthetic polymers that are produced by the reaction of phenol or
substituted phenol with formaldehyde. They are widely used as adhesives,
insulation and binders in applications such as wood adhesives, foundry core
& mould, abrasion-resistant laminates and friction laminates. They offer
properties such as heat resistance, dimensional stability and excellent bonding
strength.
The global phenolic resins market is estimated to be valued
at US$ 16052.98 Mn in 2023 and is
expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9%
over the forecast period 2023 to 2030,
as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving the growth of the phenolic resins market is
the increasing demand from electric vehicles. Phenolic resins are used as
insulators in electric vehicles as they provide high thermal conductivity and
heat resistance. They are used to insulate electric motors, battery packs and
electronic components. With governments around the world promoting electric
mobility to reduce environmental pollution, the demand for electric vehicles is
growing at a rapid pace. For instance, according to the International Energy
Agency, the global stock of electric cars passed 5 million in 2018 and is
expected to reach 125 million by 2030. The growth in electric vehicles will
subsequently increase the demand for phenolic resins over the forecast period.
Segment
Analysis
Phenolic Resins Market is segmented by product type into novolac resins and
resolic resins. Resolic resins dominate the market and accounted for around 60%
share in 2023. Resolic resins are preferred over novolac due to their excellent
properties like thermal stability, high strength, good adhesion, and electric
insulation. These properties make resolic resins suitable for applications in
insulation, abrasion, and adhesion.
