LONDON – Today the key end-use areas of formaldehyde are urea-, phenol-, and melamine-formaldehyde resins – they account for approximately 66% of the total demand on the global formaldehyde market. As these industries are on the growth path after the recession period, the demand for formaldehyde is also on stable rise. It is notable that international trade within the industry is small – as shipment hazards are there, this material is produced close to the consuming facilities.
The global formaldehyde production and consumption happed to reach a perfect balance in 2010 – the both figures reached around 29 tonnes. However, the demand is projected to go up steeply leaving the production volumes behind. In the coming five years the formaldehyde consumption will grow by 5% annually. However the manufacturing utilization rates will reach only 80% by that time.
Comprehensive review of the formaldehyde market is presented in the new market research report “Formaldehyde: 2012 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2017”. The report gives out a full picture of the market by examining it from the global, regional and country perspective and providing data on the past and present of the industry and its future development.
The information covered within the report makes up a thorough analysis of the key formaldehyde market metrics – production and consumption in the reviewed countries, trade statistics, and prices for the material during the reviewed period. Market projections indicate future developments and trends, opportunities and hurdles, prices and volumes during the period through 2017.
