Phenolic Resins Market to Reach US$13.36 Billion in 2019, Driven by Increasing Demand from the Automotive Industry

Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers derived from the reaction between phenol and formaldehyde, under the influence of heat. Phenolic resins exhibit diverse properties such as high tensile strength, high heat resistance, light weight, low toxicity of smoke, and high mold ability, owing to which they are increasingly used in wood-adhesives, molding compounds, insulation, rubber, and laminates, among others. Phenolic resins also find application in niche segments such as off-shore oil drilling and mass transit because of their beneficial physical and chemical properties. Multiple factors aid the expansion of the phenolic resins market on a global scale.

Transparency Market Research has published a new report titled “Phenolic Resins Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019” to study and evaluate such growth drivers, market restraints, and prospective opportunities. This is a 90-page report and presents an executive-level blueprint of the global phenolic resins market. 
Based on findings sourced through in-depth primary and secondary research, the report forecasts the global phenolic resins market to exhibit a 5.6% CAGR between 2013 and 2019. While in 2012 the global phenolic resins market stood at US$9.19 billion, it is expected to reach US$13.36 billion in 2019. Surging demand for phenolic molding compounds in the automotive industry is identified as the key growth driver fuelling this multi-billion-dollar market. Due to its intrinsic physical properties, molding compounds are used in the production of seats, suspensions, and bottom plates in the automotive industry. These compounds also find application in automobile tire manufacturing. 
The report segments the global phenolic resins market into Resol resins, Novolac resins, and others based on the product type. Accounting for a market share exceeding 48%, Resol resins dominated the global phenolic resins market in 2012. Meanwhile, much of the demand generated for Novolac resins is registered by the markets for molded composites and laminates. On a regional perspective, the global phenolic resins market can be segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World.
Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global phenolic resins market in 2012, followed by North America. The findings of the report reveal that North America and Asia Pacific collectively accounted for 65% of the global demand registered from the market in 2012. However, during the forecast period, the countries encompassed within the Rest of the World region are anticipated to register robust growth in terms of demand for phenolic resins. Rapid industrialization and greater application scope in the region will provide lucrative opportunities for phenolic resins manufacturers. The phenolic resins market is highly fragmented with a bevy of players vying for the largest share in the market.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
