The global resins market size was valued at USD 9.30 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow

at an estimated CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2025. Resins are expected to lead the market due

to its growing use in the wood adhesives application. The market for resins is also expected to

witness the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. The main features of resins are, the superior

heat resistance, high flexibility, mechanical strength, and moldability, and excellent friction

properties.

The global resin market is classified on the basis of application, namely, wood adhesives,

molding, laminates, foundry, insulation, and others. The wood adhesives application is the

largest, due to the rapidly growing construction industry, which in turn is driving the

consumption of wood adhesives. The molding application is also expected to grow at the

highest CAGR during forecast period.

The global resin market is classified on the basis of end-use industry, namely, automotive,

building & construction, furniture, electrical & electronics, and others. Automotive is the

largest and the fastest-growing end-use industry due to the growing automobile sales. In

addition, the increase in the use of phenolic resins in applications such as, brake linings,

clutch facing, and brake pads is also expected to drive the phenolic resin market.

The global resin market is segmented on the basis of region, namely, Asia-Pacific, Europe,

North America, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region is

the largest and one of the fastest growing markets for resins, which is majorly dominated by

China and India. The high growth in India is attributed to the high demand from the

construction and furniture industries. Rapid industrialization and improved standards of

living in India are expected to drive the demand for resins during the forecast period i.e. 2016

to 2021.
