In essence, moulding compounds are polymers that are best suited for shaping. In general, these compounds are utilised for larger items that need a high level of mechanical strength. The moulding compound has exceptional mechanical qualities, including great electrical insulation and a beautiful surface. The moulding compounds are appropriate for high-strength electrical parts, automobile bodies, personal watercraft, office equipment cabinets, and many other structural elements thanks to all these characteristics.
The majority of consumers are replacing conventional materials as the market changes. Products made from moulding compound will take the place of these conventional materials and boost the market for products made from moulding compound. The moulding compound products offer dimensional stability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Due to their reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency, these compounds are being used more and more in the automotive industry. The use of these compounds in the automobiles will result in lower fuel emission because of its lightweight and lower fuel consumption.

At a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.56% between 2015 and 2020, the global moulding compound market by resin type is expected to increase from USD 8.04 billion in 2015 to USD 10.96 billion by 2020. The increasing demand from the electrical application industry has resulted in a significant growth in the global market for resin over the last few years. Moulding compounds provide anti-corrosive and heat-resistant qualities that extend the life of the product and improve electrical application efficiency.
The electrical, automotive, aerospace, and other industries are where moulding compounds are most commonly used. During the anticipated period, the moulding compound market’s electrical category will experience the fastest growth. When subjected to high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions, moulding compounds’ qualities including corrosion resistance, thermal performance, and heat resistance remain intact. The automotive application market holds the second-largest market share due to the moulding compounds’ tremendous benefits in preventing rust and corrosion on vehicles’ bodies and other important metal parts, which lowers maintenance costs and lengthens average lifespan. They are employed in applications like as headlight liners, automobile valve corners, and mounts for electric motors.
Phenolic, epoxy, polyester, and other resins are among the most commonly utilised materials in the production of moulding compounds. The global moulding compound market is dominated by phenolic-based moulding compounds. Phenolic resin is perfect for electrical applications since it has a high degree of heat resistance and mechanical strength. The moulding compound market worldwide sees phenolic moulding compounds as the resin type with the quickest rate of growth.
The greatest market for moulding materials right now is Asia-Pacific. Among the largest markets for moulding compounds are China, the United States, Japan, Germany, and Canada. Within the RoW region, the moulding compound market in Brazil is anticipated to experience the highest CAGR growth.
