Molding compounds offer a number of remarkable properties such as dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and others, making them suitable to be used in high temperature and extreme working conditions. They are used in the design of automobile parts in which high mechanical strength is required. Remarkable electrical insulation, superior surface appearance, and desirable mechanical properties have made them ideal for use in automotive parts and body panel, high strength electrical parts, and numerous structural components.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The replacement of conventional materials with novel molding compound based products has been a key driving force behind the growth of the molding compound market. Increasing demand for material with superior properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, high strength, low weight, etc. from end-use industries has significantly increased the consumption of molding compounds. The growing emphasis laid by automobile manufactures on reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency has contributed substantially to the adoption of molding compounds in the automobile sector and consequently driven the consumption of molding compounds. Significantly high processing and manufacturing cost of thermoset molding compounds have impeded the use of molding compounds in different applications. This factor is likely to stymie the growth of the molding components market in the forecast period.
