Global formaldehyde market – Customer landscape  The report includes the market's adoption lifecycle, from the innovator's stage to the laggard's stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies. Global formaldehyde market - Segmentation assessment Segment overview Technavio has segmented the market based on derivative type (urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, polyoxymethylene, and others), end-user (construction and furniture, automotive, and others) and geography (APAC, North America , Europe , South America , and the Middle East and Africa ).

The urea formaldehyde segment will account for a significant share of the market's growth during the forecast period. Urea-formaldehyde, also known as urea methanol is formed by reacting urea and formaldehyde in the presence of some mild base, such as pyridine. It is mainly used as a resin and adhesive in various end-user applications such as plywood, particle boards, coatings, decorative lubricants, and molding compounds. Urea formaldehyde is used as an adhesive, as it is highly reactive, shows great performance, and is cost-effective.

Geography overview By geography, the global formaldehyde market is segmented into APAC, North America , Europe , South America , and Middle East and Africa . The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global formaldehyde market.

APAC will account for 69% of the market's growth during the forecast period. The increasing focus on development, rapid industrialization, and the growing automotive industry, especially in China and India , are expected to drive the demand for formaldehyde in the region.

Global formaldehyde market – Market dynamics Key factor driving market growth

The growth in the construction industry is the key factor driving the global formaldehyde market growth. 

Formaldehyde is mainly used in the production of resins, which find use in the construction industry. Resins like urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, and melamine formaldehyde are used for manufacturing building materials.

The construction industry is the major end-user of formaldehyde globally, with a share of more than 65%.

Hence, the growth of the construction industry, which is driven by emerging economies, a growing population, and increasing disposable income, largely drives the global formaldehyde market.

Leading trends influencing the market 

The advances in technology are the primary trend in the global formaldehyde market.

Formaldehyde is produced from methanol, which is the primary raw material, hence, the fluctuating prices of methanol pose difficulty for the manufacturers of both methanol and formaldehyde.

With the increasing demand for formaldehyde and increasing concerns about methanol price, it is important to develop new production technologies for formaldehyde that do not use methanol.

Key vendors of the global formaldehyde market, BASF, are developing catalyst systems that will allow the selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde.

Another new technology in formaldehyde production is the turbocharger concept by Johnson Matthey .

These advances in technologies pertaining to formaldehyde production methods are emerging trends in the global formaldehyde market.

Major challenges hindering market growth

The fluctuating price of methanol is a major challenge to the global formaldehyde market growth. Methanol is the key raw material of formaldehyde.

Hence, the price fluctuations of methanol directly impact the price of formaldehyde, which, in turn, affects the profit margins of manufacturers as well.

The price fluctuation of methanol can be attributed to two reasons - price fluctuation of natural gas and the mismatch in the demand-supply of methanol is another reason for the fluctuating price of methanol.

The tighter supply of methanol does not fulfill the demand for methanol. Thus, the fluctuation in methanol prices is one of the major challenges faced by the global formaldehyde market.
