DUBLIN, December 02, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Formaldehyde Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Derivatives (Urea Formaldehyde, Melamine Formaldehyde), By End-use (Building & Construction, Furniture, Automotive), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global formaldehyde market size is expected to reach USD 12.21 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2028.
The growth can be attributed to the increasing construction activities across the world.

Increasing demand for these products is likely to boost the demand for formaldehyde over the forecast period.
A majority of these companies in the market have integrated their business operations across the value chain to incur maximum profit at the lowest investment.

Although, it is also used to produce hard-gel capsules, vaccines, and antibiotics, which positively affected the demand for formaldehyde.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years owing to the rapid growth of the adhesives, automobile, furniture, and electrical and electronics manufacturing sectors in the region. The market in the Asia Pacific is growing on account of its low price, high reactivity, and high-quality performance.
In addition, significantly growing construction and automotive industries in Asia Pacific countries, especially in China and India, are likely to trigger the demand for formaldehyde.
