Market Highlights

The global thermoset molding compound market is projected to be valued at approximately $19.5 Billion by 2030, recording a CAGR of 6.84% during the forecast period. Thermoset resins give thermosetting plastic parts heat resistance, dimensional stability, maximum bending strength, heat insulation, and usability, making them perfect for a wide range of applications. Thermoset molding is a common molding technique that entails pressing flexible plastic forms into a heated mold and molding them into their final shape. Precursors are added to the base substance to drive molecular chemical reactions, resulting in a more complex, irreversible final structure. Thermoset materials have a longer lifespan than thermoplastics. Market expansion is being fueled by rising demand for heavy metals and safety in transportation and aircraft, and there is a need for thermal properties and corrosive composites.

The thermoset molding compound market's growth trend was thrown off by the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result of the crisis, governments implemented lockdowns, preventing the international movement of non-essential commodities and resources, putting a halt to the production activities of a variety of businesses that generate massive demand for thermoset molding compounds. The transportation industry is the primary source of demand for these materials; as a result, any change in the manufacturing of automobiles has a corresponding impact on the demand for thermoset compounds.   

Segmental Analysis

The global thermoset molding compound market has been segmented based on type, end-user, and region.

By type, the global thermoset molding compound market has been segmented into epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyester resin, urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, and others. The phenolic resin segment holds the largest market share in the global thermoset molding compound market because of their increased qualities, such as strong heat resistance, high moldability, mechanical strength, low smoke toxicity, and ability to combine with polymers, they are becoming more used in a variety of industries. It is commonly utilized in vehicle parts and electric switches due to its great heat resistance. Phenolic resins are suited for use in insulation due to their low thermal conductivity. Because of its water resilience, phenol-formaldehyde is used as a durable binder and adhesive for wooden building panels, as a binder for mineral wool insulation.

Based on end-user, the global thermoset molding compound market has been segmented into aerospace, automotive, electrical & electronics, and others. The automotive segment holds the largest market share in the global thermoset molding compound market. since it may be classified as using gasoline in addition to gasoline, diesel, electric, and several hybrids or potential gasoline motors consisting of ethanol and mixed electric motor-warmth engine drive As the demand for motors grows in tandem with the demand for product and passenger transportation, the demand for motors is likely to rise. The demand for road transportation has increased the demand for lightweight and stable automobile items such as cars, trucks, and other road transport vehicles. The expansion of the automobile industry within the transportation sector had offered lucrative opportunities for market growth.
