The global molding compound market by thermoset resin type to grow from USD 8.04 Billion in 2015 to USD 10.96 Billion by 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.40% between 2015 and 2020. The global market by thermoset resin type has witnessed a strong growth in the past few years considering the high demand from the electrical application market. Thermoset molding compounds provides anti-corrosive and heat resistant properties which increase product life cycle and greater efficiency in electrical applications.

The major applications of thermoset molding compounds are in electrical, automotive, aerospace, and other sectors. The electrical segment is the fastest-growing application in thermoset molding compound market during the forecast period. The properties offered by thermoset molding compounds such as corrosion resistance, thermal performance, and heat resistant when exposed to elevated temperatures and extreme environmental conditions. The second-largest market share is occupied by the automotive application market, as the thermoset molding compounds provide great advantages in preventing rust and corrosion on vehicles’ body and key metal parts, thus saving maintenance costs and increasing average lifespan. They are used in applications areas such as electric motor mounts, automotive valve corners, and headlight liners.

The major resins used for the manufacturing of thermoset molding compounds include phenolic, epoxy, polyester, and others. The phenolic based thermoset molding compounds has the largest market share in the global thermoset molding compound market. Phenolic resin has high mechanical strength and heat resistance which is ideal for electrical application. Phenolic molding compounds are also the fastest-growing resin type in the thermoset molding compound market, globally.

Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest market of thermoset molding compounds. China, the U.S., Japan, Germany, and Canada are among the major markets of thermoset molding compounds. The Brazilian market for thermoset molding compounds within the RoW region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the industries and improving financial condition in the region has led to an increase in the demand of thermoset molding compounds.

Molding Compounds Market

Hexion Inc. (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), and Hitachi Chemical Co. (Japan) are few of the leading players in the thermoset molding compound market. High processing and manufacturing cost of thermoset molding compounds is a barrier for of thermoset molding compounds in various applications but the company’s strategies to build a strong foothold in the market by various developmental activities is helping the growth of the thermoset molding compounds industries.
