“The Phenolic Resin Market for Wood Processing is expected to register a healthy CAGR of 3.4% over the next five years to reach a value of US$ 1.3 Billion by 2028.”
Phenolic resin for wood processing applications is the phenol-formaldehyde resin used to bind wood surfaces together. It offers high bonding strength, durability, and water, heat, and chemical resistance. They are used in different applications, such as plywood, OSB (oriented strand board), particle board, hardboard, MDF/HDF, and others. Phenolic resin is majorly used in outdoor wood processing applications.
Market Drivers
Rising wood-based panel production, increasing usage of wood panels in different applications, and key properties of phenolic resins, such as high strength, durability, water, chemical, heat, and fire resistance, and dimensional stability are likely to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
During the pandemic, the phenolic resin market for wood processing experienced a huge decline of 9.2% (YoY, in 2020) owing to a slowdown in wood-based panel production and the temporary shutdown of construction and other manufacturing activities. The market experienced phenomenal growth in 2021 (~26%) owing to the combined effects of a recovery in construction, furniture, and other manufacturing activities and an abrupt increase in raw material prices. However, the market experienced moderate growth in 2022 due to the slow economic growth rate of some European, and North American countries, and the prolonged COVID impact (lockdown) in China.
