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.

Physical Vapor Deposition Market: Knowledge Regarding Benefits over Conventional Coating Methods to Fuel Demand, says TMR

The  global physical vapor deposition (PVD) market  is currently led by manufacturers such as IHI Ionbond AG and Oerlikon Balzers (Oerlikon Group). Together these companies account for the dominant market share in the market, clearly due to the superfluous coasts of PVD devices. As the patent protected nature of the PVD technology has restricted the scope for entry of new players, the existing ones enjoy stronghold in determining the price points. A majority of these companies are domiciled in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. As a result, only strategic collaborations with PVD companies across these regions can help new vendors establish their foothold in the global physical vapor deposition market.  As per TMR, the global PVD market, which in 2015 stood at US$13.6 bn is expected to reach US$21.8 bn by the end of 2024. If the figures hold true, the global physical vapor deposition market will exhibit...

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market - Global Insights, Growth, Size, Comparative Analysis, Trends and Forecast, 2017-2025

Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) is a composite application utilizing naturally occurring mineral gypsum combined with reinforcing fibers. It may also contain polymers to increase product strength. The molding process can be either hand lay-up or a chopped strand spray method. Stereotypically, the end product is used for indoor applications with negligible exposure to moisture or other environmental elements. Completed composites are in the form of ornamental or decorative columns, pillars and facades. With the slowdown in world economic growth, the global market has also suffered a certain impact, but still maintained a relatively optimistic growth. In terms of revenue, the Global Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market was valued at US$ 458.49 Mn in 2016 and is expected to reach US$ 888.35 Mn by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2017 to 2025. The Global Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Market is boosted by factors such as: ·       ...

Tank Liners Market - Advancement in oil & gas, water treatment applications, Growth 2025

A tank’s internal structure presents exceptional challenges for protective coatings. Even a primer coating is not a complete solution and may result in leakage or spillage. Tank liners refer to the finishing coating applied on tanks in order to minimize the corrosion and resulting failure of the primer coating. Some of the key issues faced in tanks include limited protection for the tank fabric and the risk of the stored product getting contaminated. In order to deal with these difficulties, tank lining products of different materials exhibiting exceptional anticorrosive performance and chemical resistance are required. Tank lining is often used as a finish coat in combination with anti-corrosive primers. This makes cleaning after spillage easier and also ensures the long-lasting effectiveness of the coating system. Surface preparation is accomplished prior to the tank lining process. In order to protect the freshly blast-cleaned steel during the application of paint; a holding...
