Melamine Formaldehyde (MF) is a thermosetting resin, manufactured from melamine and formaldehyde. It is primarily used to manufacture laminates, adhesives, molding compounds, paints & coatings, and others. Melamine formaldehyde is used in a broad spectrum of end-use industries, such as paints & coatings, automotive, electronics, electrical, and building & construction, among others.

The U.S. holds the largest share of the North America melamine formaldehyde market. The country is estimated to occupy the largest share of the melamine formaldehyde demand for applications, such as laminates, molding powder, coatings, and adhesives, among others. Increasing consumer preferences for home remodeling and the increasing activities of renovations in non-residential structures are also impacting the demand for melamine formaldehyde and its applications in various industries of North America. Furthermore, due to better chemical formulation than urea formaldehyde, melamine acts as an alternative for the same, which is also driving the demand for melamine formaldehyde in the region.

The North America melamine formaldehyde market was valued at $303.9 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $421.7 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2014 to 2019. The rising demand for melamine formaldehyde from end-use industries, such as automotive, household appliances, building & construction, is contributing to the growth of the melamine formaldehyde market in the North American region.

Based on applications, the North America melamine formaldehyde market has been segmented into laminates, molding powder, coatings, and adhesives, among others. The laminates segment accounted for a share of 46.3% of this market in 2014. Furthermore, various organizations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Food Safety, and the World Health Organization have directed certain safety measures under which melamine could be used efficiently. This in turn is contributing to the growth of the melamine formaldehyde market.

BASF S.E., Hexion Inc., Ineos Melamines, Tembec Inc., Allnex Belgium S.A., Cytec Industries Inc., Georgia-Pacific LLC, AkzoNobel Chemicals, and Momentive Specialty Chemicals, among others, are some of the major players in the North America melamine formaldehyde market.
