Paraformaldehyde Market is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Growing Use Of Paraformaldehyde In Synthesis of Various Polymers and Coatings

Paraformaldehyde Market



Paraformaldehyde is a polymerized and condensed form of formaldehyde that serves as a source of formaldehyde gas. It is a white crystalline powder with a pungent, irritating odor commonly used as a preservative or germicide in industrial and medical applications. Formaldehyde acts as a disinfectant and sterilizer, and is used as a preservative in vaccines, medications, and biological samples collection media.

The Paraformaldehyde Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 419.8 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving the growth of the paraformaldehyde market is its increasing use in the synthesis of various polymers and coatings. Paraformaldehyde readily acts as a source of formaldehyde and is highly preferred over free formaldehyde for these applications owing to its safer handling and greater stability. It is used in the production of resins like phenol formaldehyde resins and urea formaldehyde resins which are used to manufacture wood adhesives, laminates, coatings, and insulation materials. Additionally, it also finds application in the production of various medical devices and diagnostic kits. The growing demand for polymers and coatings from end-use industries like construction and healthcare is thus expected to boost the demand for paraformaldehyde over the forecast period.
