Factors that drive the growth of the global thermoset molding compound market are need for safety in transportation & aerospace industry, economically viable option than heavy metals, rise in need for thermally stable & corrosion resistant components, and ease in production of complex shape parts. Economic development in the emerging economies of regions such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA are expected to provide significant growth opportunities to the industry players. However, factors such as volatility in crude oil prices and stringent regulation associated with thermoset resin may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

In 2015, polyester resin was the leading segment, with almost one-third market share in terms of revenue, followed by phenolic, urea formaldehyde, and epoxy resin. Polyester resin molding compounds offer remarkable flexibility and it is used for diverse application needs from automotive body panel to a rugged underground utility box. It offers excellent resistance to broad range of chemicals at room temperature such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, gasoline, alcohols, glycols, and ethers. These resins are advantageous for the applications where high mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and low weight are the foremost important factors. Further, its applications in airplanes, trucks, buses, as structural part in building, sanitary ware market, and cladding panels, roofing tiles, and pipes drives the growth of the market.

Electrical & electronics end-user segment generated the highest revenue in 2015, with almost half of the total market share, followed by automotive segment. Thermosetting molding compounds are used to encapsulate different types of electronic packages such as capacitors, transistors, central processing units (CPUs), memory devices, and others. Along with this, molding compound are also employed in different electrical appliances & circuits owing to its distinct properties, such as rigidity, toughness, resistance to several environmental factors, low cost, stability, and flame resistance.

According to Eswara Prasad, Team Lead, Chemicals & Materials at Allied Market Research, "Rise in demand for lighter-weight and durable parts in automotive industry along with rapid growth in urbanization and increase in disposable income in emerging economies are the prime drivers for thermoset molding compound market. However, regulatory challenges associated with the use of these compounds may hamper the market growth during the forecast period."
