Automotive Sector to Fuel Formaldehyde Market
Formaldehyde market is used as a raw material in automotive industry; this might help in pushing the global formaldehyde market.
While considering manufacturing of vehicles the automotive companies must consider all the properties such as durability, aesthetics, safety, light weight, and better efficiency. All these factors can be taken care by formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is used in making of molded interior which makes the vehicle light weight and enhances the fuel efficiency, thus may help the global formaldehyde market grow in the forecast period.
Further, formaldehyde is used in exterior primer, brakes pads, clear coat paints, and fuel components. The use of formaldehyde make the vehicles not just light weight but highly durable, owing to the growth in the global formaldehyde market in the upcoming years.
Here, the automotive manufacturing companies replace the metal with polyoxymethelene which is a plastic derived from formaldehyde. Since metal cannot take various forms and shapes that a vehicle would need, the automotive industry uses polyoxymethelene. Thus, there are possibilities of grand growth avenues in the global formaldehyde market.
Almost 3000 thermo plastic components are derived out of formaldehyde and these are used in making various parts of vehicles. Thus, might provide growth opportunities to the global formaldehyde market. Technological advances have led to increasing adoption of formaldehyde market and may continue to grow in the next few years.
Rising concerns over its impact on the environment may dampen the growth in the global formaldehyde market. However, its use in oil and gas equipment as insulation is expected to contribute to expansion of the global formaldehyde market in the upcoming years.
Asia Pacific to be Ahead in Global Formaldehyde Market
The global formaldehyde market is anticipated to be led by Asia Pacific during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rapid industrialization that is leading to numerous constructions. Also, swift urbanization has led to increase in demand for public and private transport, owing to increasing demand for cars and other light weight vehicles. These factors are expected to play a role in the growth avenues of the global formaldehyde market during the forecast period.
