India`s urea formaldehyde import market in 2024 continued to see significant contributions from top exporting countries such as China, Thailand, Norway (excluding Svalbard and Jan Mayen), Indonesia, and Japan. Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, with a -12.75% change, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood strong at 14.1%. The market`s high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration indicates a competitive landscape dominated by these key exporting nations, shaping the dynamics of India`s import shipments in this sector.
The urea formaldehyde market in India is projected to register a CAGR of around 5.5% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for wood adhesives, especially in the furniture making and flooring industries, as well as continuous growth in the construction sector are expected to drive the urea formaldehyde resin market. Additionally, government initiatives towards developing infrastructure across residential, commercial & industrial spaces would further aid the expansion of this industry. Moreover, owing to its superior properties such as low cost production and easy availability compared to other resins; UF resins have become widely popular among various end use industries. However rising raw material prices might be a major challenge restraining the overall growth of this industry over forecast period.
The increasing demand for fertilizers in India has been identified as one of the key drivers of the urea formaldehyde market in India. The country is one of the largest producers and consumers of fertilizers, with an estimated annual consumption of approximately 55 million tons. As a result, farmers are increasingly relying on urea formaldehyde to increase their crop yields and productivity levels. This has led to increased demand for this fertilizer type from both domestic as well as international markets. Additionally, the government???s efforts towards improving agricultural infrastructure and providing subsidies have played a major role in boosting sales over recent years. Furthermore, its low cost compared to other types of fertilizers coupled with its long shelf life makes it attractive among small-scale farmers who are unable to afford expensive inputs such as nitrate or phosphate based fertilizers.
Rising Raw Material Prices??? One key factor that may hamper market growth is rise in raw material costs associated with manufacturing process which can result into reduced profits margins potentially leading to lower sales volumes thereby affecting overall Industry Growth negatively.
