The global Paraformaldehyde Market is expected to reach USD 1525.87 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The growing demand for paraformaldehyde in the agricultural sector, its expanding use in fumigants, disinfectants, fertilisers, and pesticides, its expanding use in pharmaceutical products, and its expanding use in printing & photography, personal care and household cleaning products, as well as intermediate additives and compounds, are the main factors enhancing the global Paraformaldehyde market's revenue growth.

 

Market Overview

The smallest polyoxymethylene formed during the polymerization of formaldehyde, known as paraformaldehyde (PFA), develops as a white precipitate in aqueous formaldehyde solutions when kept in a cold environment. This material, a poly-acetal, smells strongly like formaldehyde. It may be depolymerized into formaldehyde gas by dry heating and into a solution by adding water, an acid, or a base. These procedures provide high-purity formaldehyde solutions that are often employed in histology, pathology, and microscopy as fixatives. Paraformaldehyde is employed as a fumigant, fungicide, insecticide, and disinfectant in its depolymerized form. Additionally, paraformaldehyde may crosslink proteins to Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), which is a specific method for identifying the regions of DNA that the proteins are interacting with. Paraformaldehyde is furthermore utilised in place of aqueous formaldehyde in the creation of resinous binding materials that are then combined with phenol, melamine, or other reactive substances to create particle board, plywood, and medium-density fiberboard. The increased demand for paraformaldehyde in the chemical, paints & coatings, papermaking, printing, oil & gas, and medical sectors is one of the reasons contributing to the worldwide paraformaldehyde market's significant revenue rise. In addition to being a disinfectant, paraformaldehyde is also a hardening and waterproofing agent. It is utilised in the production of plywood, furniture, agrochemicals such fertilisers, insecticides, and fungicides, as well as adhesives, lubricants, resins, thermoplastics, automotive topcoats & finishes. As finishing resins for paper and textiles, insulating varnishes for electrical components, driers and glossing agents for paints and coatings, and fixatives in cell culture research, paraformaldehyde also serves these functions. Over the forecast period, a number of negative aspects are anticipated to restrain the revenue growth of the worldwide paraformaldehyde market. One of the main barriers to this market's growth is the growing knowledge of paraformaldehyde's detrimental health consequences. Humans may have harmful health effects from prolonged exposure to powdered paraformaldehyde, including cancer, reproductive issues, and irritation or allergic reactions in the eyes, nose, upper respiratory tract, and mucous membranes. Other constraints anticipated to impede market revenue development include rising prices for high-purity paraformaldehyde and an increasing number of paraformaldehyde substitutes, including dialdehyde glyoxal. Due to its considerably lower toxicity, greater efficiency, and cheaper price, dialdehyde glyoxal can replace paraformaldehyde in biomedical applications like immunostaining of cells. The production of gas, oil, and other goods was disrupted due to a scarcity of competent personnel and raw resources. The market was harmed as a result. The market, however, is anticipated to quickly resume its normal course as the world begins to recover from the pandemic.
