Global Formaldehyde Market Outlook 

The Formaldehyde Market continues to hold a central position within the global chemical value chain due to its wide use across construction, automotive, agriculture, healthcare, and chemical manufacturing. According to Mordor Intelligence, the Formaldehyde Market Size is estimated at 23.05 million tons in 2025 and is projected to reach 29.81 million tons by 2030, reflecting steady expansion during the forecast period. The Formaldehyde Industry benefits from its ability to support large-scale industrial output while remaining cost-efficient for mass-market applications.  

Industry Dynamics of Formaldehyde Market 

One of the most influential Formaldehyde Market Trends is the continued demand from the construction sector. Engineered wood panels rely heavily on urea formaldehyde and phenol formaldehyde resins for bonding strength and durability.  

Another notable trend within the Formaldehyde Market is the increasing use of polyoxymethylene in automotive applications. Lightweight plastic components made from this derivative help manufacturers meet efficiency and performance expectations.  

Agricultural usage also contributes to market stability. Urea formaldehyde fertilizers are valued for their controlled nutrient release, supporting consistent agricultural output. In parallel, healthcare applications such as disinfectants and vaccine production maintain baseline consumption, reinforcing the Formaldehyde Market Forecast outlined by Mordor Intelligence.
