Melamine(C3H6N6) is a nitrogen-rich organic chemical compound that has various industrial and construction applications, including manufacturing glues, laminates, molding compounds, paints, and flame retardants. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global melamine market is expected to witness a considerable growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors such as increasing use of melamine resin for the manufacture of wood adhesive and application in bonding moderate density fiberboard and hardwood with laminates substantially contribute to the melamine market growth., which are predicted to drive the demand of the melamine market in the forecasted period. Further, melamine is used in so many industries like the paint industry, paper industry, construction industry, crockery industry, etc., for multiple uses, which is expected to fuel the demand of the melamine market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the increasing usage of melamine resins and melamine foams in high resistance concrete, thermoset plastics, and carbon nanotubes is evaluated to drive the melamine industry growth in the forecasted period. However, the rise in the concern amongst users regarding the emissions of melamine in molding applications and the increase in the presence of various substitute compounds and materials for different applications of melamine is the primary factor, among others acting as a restraint. It will further challenge the growth of the melamine market in the forecast period.

Melamine has been used in decorative laminates such as Formica, melamine dinnerware, laminate flooring, superplasticizer, cement admixture, paints, plastic, paper, etc. It is a molecule synthesized and utilized in a broad range of industries such as adhesives, fire retardants, permanent-press textiles, fabric treatments, paper coatings, tarnishing inhibitors, and fertilizer combinations.

The laminates segment is awaited to drive the melamine market due to their wide application in construction, housing, and electrical applications and thus positively impacting the growth of the global melamine market. Moreover, melamine laminated sheets have several benefits including, superior heat-resistant properties, corrosion resistance, better wear, and does not getting softened or cracked even at a temperature over 100°C, which is expected to drive the global melamine market further. Melamine resins are the polymers of choice utilized in the outer or decorative layer of laminates and the manufacture of counter and tabletops, kitchen cabinets, flooring, furniture, etc. Melamine resins impart a hardness, transparency, stain resistance, freedom from discoloration, and overall durability. For this application, the resin, which is worn to saturate the overlay or decorative sheet, is produced by reacting approximately two moles of formaldehyde per mole of melamine. Phenolic resin costs reduce than melamine-formaldehyde resin. It is brown-yellow and non-transparent, hence, not appropriate for surface layer applications. Melamine formaldehyde resin is widely utilized as it is clear, transparent, and wear-resistant and often provides a surface dipping material. Melamine laminated sheet is in a multilayer structure, decoration paper, including surface paper and bottom paper. The surface paper protects patterns and designs on the decorative paper, makes the surface brighter, solider, and harder, and provides better wear and corrosion resistance. Melamine laminated sheet has superior heat-resistant properties, as it is made of setting plastic. It does not get cracked, softened, or bubbled at a temperature over 100°C. It is well resistant to ironing and fire. These sheets are generally applied to the surface decoration projects of walls, tabletops, furniture, suspended ceilings, columns, etc. Laminates & wood adhesives accounted for the melamine market's largest share, followed by molding powder. Laminates & wood adhesives are projected to be the fastest-growing market for melamine due to growing demand from consumers. Therefore, the factors mentioned earlier are expected to impact the melamine market in the forecasted periods significantly.

The Asia-Pacific dominated the melamine market due to the growing demand from construction industries and paints and coatings industries in countries like Japan, China, and India. Moreover, in China, the significant development rate in the rail and road infrastructure leading to the extension of the industrial and service sectors is likely to provide a more incredible opportunity for the melamine market. Melamine is used in many industries like the paint industry, paper industry, construction industry, crockery industry, etc., for multiple uses. The construction and dines ware industry captured the larger melamine market because these are the growing sectors. People continuously demand fancy and light-weighted plastic crockery for home and party use, which has become a trend in global market. The construction industry is another driver of melamine, demanding floor coating, fancy coating, and plastic paint for walls and material for other interior designing purposes. Melamine resins are also used to produce adhesives primarily employed in panel laminations, hotline fixing of car seats, trim, headlamps, and other interior component assemblies in the automotive industry. Thus, the rising importance of lightweight vehicles with lower emissions and increased fuel efficiency is expected to eliminate the use of fixtures such as screws, nuts, and clamps in automotive assembling. Melamine resins are fast-curing, withstand high temperatures, and have excellent chemical resistance. These are used to manufacture decorative laminates for car interiors and the surface coating of vehicles. Melamine is a heat-reactive resin add on to layers to increase resistance and enhance weather ability. Additionally, melamine resins coatings help reduce solvent emissions in cars and thus positively impact the environment. Rising demand for melamine foam due to its lightweight material that is suitable for components requesting high-degree thermal insulation and sound absorption will also propel market growth. With the surging automotive industry in asia pacific, the demand for melamine is anticipated to rise in the forecast period.

The global melamine market is fragmented. Some of the market key players in the market are OCI NV, INEOS Group, Grupa Azoty Zaklady Azotowe Pulawy S.A., Borealis AG, and Sichuan Chemical Works Group Ltd (SCWG).

In December 2019, BASF announced to broaden its range of the melamine resin foam Basotect®, the new grade Basotect® UF+ with enhanced emission properties replaces the successful Basotect® UF and opens up additional fields of application. The exceptionally lightweight and flexible foam is preferably suited for the insulation of rail vehicles and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning technology in buildings. At the same time, it effectively decreases the noise level of the facility.
