Formaldehyde Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

The growth in the construction industry is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the fluctuating price of methanol may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Formaldehyde Market Driver

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.

According to the United States Census Bureau, China had the largest construction market in 2020 and is expected to remain the largest construction market globally by 2025. Growing opportunities in the residential construction segment remain a major driver for the global construction industry. The increasing spending on construction activities will raise the demand for formaldehyde products, which will drive the growth of the global formaldehyde market during the forecast period.

Key Formaldehyde Market Trend.

The advances in technology are the primary trend in the global formaldehyde market. Formaldehyde is produced from methanol, which is the primary raw material, by two processes: based on the silver catalyst and based on the metal oxides catalyst. 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.

One of the key vendors of the global formaldehyde market, BASF, along with Heidelberg University, LMU, Munich, planned a joint research project for 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. The advances in technologies pertaining to formaldehyde production methods are emerging trends in the global formaldehyde market.

Key Formaldehyde Market Challenge

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. Methanol Gulf Coast benchmark price showed sudden fluctuations in 2017-2018. The price observed a steep fluctuation till April 2020.

The price fluctuation of methanol can be attributed to two reasons, such as price fluctuation of natural gas impacts methanol price, as it is the key raw material for methanol production. Similarly, 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.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Formaldehyde Market?

Based on derivative type, the market is segmented into urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, polyoxymethylene, and others. The market share growth by the urea formaldehyde segment will be significant during the forecast period. Urea formaldehyde is also known as urea methanol. It is formed by reacting urea and formaldehyde in the presence of some mild base, such as pyridine. It is a thermosetting synthetic resin. 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.
