Further key findings from the study suggest:

Resol resins accounted for majority of the overall phenolic resins market volume in 2013, and are expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period, on account of increased demand in laminates and wood adhesives. Novolac resins are expected to gain market share over the next six years.
Wood adhesives emerged as the leading application segment in 2013. The market for molding compounds is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period owing to increased demand from automotive and aerospace industries. Other applications include abrasives, coatings & varnishes, friction materials, and rubber adhesives.
Asia Pacific contributed to over 35% of the phenolic resins market volume in 2013 and is expected to remain the leading regional market over the next six years, which can be attributed to increased consumption of phenolic resins in automotive as well as infrastructure spending in India and China.
The market comprises a large number of companies, and is highly fragmented in nature. Key industry participants include BASF, Hitachi Chemical Co. Ltd., Georgia Pacific Chemicals LLC, Sumitomo Bakelite Co.
