Product Definition:
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a thermoset plastic resin which can be reinforced with fiberglass, Kevlar, or other fibers. It is used to form large, thin-walled parts such as boat hulls and car panels. Sheet molding compound can also be used for sanitation applications because it is resistant to many common disinfectants.
Unsaturated Polyester Resin:
Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) is a kind of thermoplastic polymer, which contains carbon and hydrogen. The most important feature of this resin is that the carbon-carbon double bonds can be replaced by oxygen or nitrogen. This allows the product to be used in high temperature applications as well as providing it with new properties such as toughness and brittleness.
Phenolic Resin:
Phenolic resins are natural compounds that occur in some plants and are responsible for protecting the plant from insects and diseases. Phenolic resins also help in increasing the strength of stem, branch or root to resist external forces. The most common phenols found in nature include cresol, phenylalanine, tryptophan, 4-hydroxyproline and lysine among others. These compounds when extracted from plants are called as Phenolic Resin (PR).
Application Insights:
The bathroom wallboard application segment led the global sheet molding compound for sanitation market in 2017. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from developing countries, such as India and China. In addition, growing urbanization and awareness regarding hygiene are expected to drive the product demand for bathroom wallboards over the coming years.
The bathtub application segment accounted for more than 20% share of total revenue in 2017 due to high product penetration in this end-use industry segment. Growing renovation activities across residential spaces are anticipated to boost product consumption for sanitary applications in bathtubs over the coming years.
Other prominent applications include waterproof chassis.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rapid urbanization, increasing disposable income, and growing construction activities. Moreover, rising awareness regarding health & hygiene among consumers is anticipated to propel product demand in this region.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe which accounted for a revenue share of more than 20% in 2017 owing to high acceptance levels coupled with stringent regulations about building energy efficiency rating that has encouraged Sheet Makers Compound (SMC) manufacturers/suppliers across the globe including China and India as well as other regions such as Middle East & Africa (MEA), North America (NA), and Latin America (LATAM).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from sanitary ware and fittings manufacturers
- Rising awareness about hygiene and sanitation among consumers
- Rapid urbanization and growing disposable income of consumers
- Proliferation of new product launches in the sanitary ware segment
