The rising demand for formaldehyde and its derivatives is a key factor driving the market growth. Formaldehyde, derived from methanol, plays a vital role in various industries, making it a major driver of methanol consumption globally. It's used in resins like urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde, commonly found in wood products like particleboard, plywood, and MDF, crucial for construction and furniture industries. Automotive and aerospace sectors utilize these resins for lightweight, high-strength materials, with rising demand as these industries evolve. Textile and paper industries also use formaldehyde-based resins, further increasing the need for methanol. Growing construction and urbanization in developing regions heightens demand for formaldehyde-based materials, fueling the methanol market's growth during the forecast period.
The formaldehyde segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 9.17 billion in 2017. Formaldehyde is primarily used in making resins and adhesives, with applications in the wood, furniture, and construction industries. These resins are crucial for products like plywood, particleboard, and engineered wood materials, as well as construction materials like insulation foam, laminates, and fiberboards. In the automotive sector, formaldehyde-based resins are used for interior components.
Formaldehyde, in the form of formalin, serves as a disinfectant and preservative in various applications. The Asia-Pacific region, especially China, India, and Southeast Asian countries, is the largest consumer of formaldehyde due to its extensive use in multiple industries. This broad range of applications is expected to drive the demand for methanol, which, in turn, will boost the formaldehyde segment of the global methanol market during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 74% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. One of the main factors which are significantly contributing to the global methanol market in APAC is the increasing demand for methanol and its derivatives from the construction, automotive, textile, and furniture industries. The leading countries which there is high demand for methanol and its derivatives is China due to the rising demand for methanol-gasoline blends, which are extensively used as transportation fuels.
Additionally, there is a shift toward the APAC market due to the developing market and intense competition among APAC countries. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for the chemical industry in APAC due to the rise in chemical products across different sectors. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth in the region during the forecast period.
