Market dynamics

Drivers

Escalation in demand from the packaging sector

The increase in population has led to a rise in demand for various consumer goods, propelling demand for molding compounds in the packaging sector as they are widely used for manufacturing films & wraps. For instance, according to a report published by the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, the packaging industry was worth over $917 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $1.05 trillion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 2.8%. These factors are anticipated to enhance the demand for molding compounds in the packaging market.

Restraints

Health concerns associated with molding compounds 

However, exposure to molding compounds in manufacturing plants has adverse effects on health, such as eye irritation, cough, throat infection, and skin irritation. Additionally, the rise in prices of raw materials and the adoption of alternative substitutes over molding compounds are expected to hamper the market growth. 

Opportunities

The rise in building and construction activity  

An increase in investments in the building and infrastructure industry in countries such as the U.S., China, Japan, Mexico, and India has led the building & construction sector to witness significant growth where resin-based molding compounds such as epoxy, phenolic resins compounds are employed as insulating materials and cladding panels. These factors collectively witnessed high potential growth for molding compounds, thus, offering remunerative opportunities for the market.

Challenges

Availability of another substitute 

 Polyester resins release various toxic chemicals that, if exposed beyond the concentration limit, may cause several health-related issues such as health-related issues such as irritation in the eye, vision failure, respiratory problems, dizziness, genotoxic, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal problems due to which manufacturer and consumer are shifting their preferences to other less toxic and sustainable molding compounds material. These factors may act as a challenging factor in the molding compounds market. 

Report Highlights

The molding compounds market is segmented by type: polyester, epoxy, phenolic, and others. 

The phenolic segment dominated the market in 2021 and is expected to grow over the forecast period, and holds 39% of the total market share. This is attributed to the fact that the growing population, growth in consumer demand, and increase in demand for electrical and electronics-based devices have put more emphasis on manufacturers for the production of phenolic-based molding compounds, which it is used in combination with paper and fabrics as an insulation material in electrical and electronics components and circuit boards, owing due to its heat resistance property. These factors will increase the demand for molding compounds during the forecast period. 

Based on application, the segment includes aerospace, automotive, electrical, and electronics. It is expected that the global electrical and electronics segment to hold a dominant position during 2022 -2031 with a maximum share of 30%. 

The growth of the molding compounds market is driven by industrialization, urbanization, and disposable income, and demand for electrical and electronic devices has increased significantly. Molding compounds are used extensively, owing to their widespread functionalities, such as being reliable, dimensionally stable, and helps prevents short circuits in electrical devices. This is expected to drive the market in the electrical and electronics segment.
