Decorative High-Pressure Laminates Market Analysis 2020- Application, Regions, TPosted by Mangesh Mahajan on March 12th, 2020 Market Highlights The Decorative High-Pressure Laminates Market is projected to be valued at USD 14,857 million by the end of 2023 and register a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Decorative high-pressure laminates (HPLs) are manufactured by saturating numerous layers of Kraft papers with phenolic resin and are fused with pressure and heat. A layer of printed decor paper is placed on the top of the Kraft paper before applying pressure. HPL is the direct descendent of the original plastic laminate. It is one of the most durable decorative surface materials and is available with superior performance properties including fire and wear resistance. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or particleboard is the preferred substrate as they provide a durable, stable, consistent, and economic foundation. HPL is the preferred choice for horizontal surfaces including countertops, flooring, and desktops, owing to their superior durability. The adoption of HPL in furniture and cabinets is increasing on account of an upsurge in the use of ready-to-assemble furniture and cabinets. Moreover, HPL is highly robust and versatile; and offers an aesthetic look for both horizontal and vertical applications in residential and office furniture. HPL is highly resistant to external stress such as crack, heat, abrasion, and moisture, which further help in the effective manufacturing of furniture and cabinets. HPL finds widespread applications in the residential sector. It is one of the safest and hygienic materials used in the architecture, construction, and designing of home interiors. Moreover, it offers anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, which help to ensure that the furniture manufactured using HPL in the kitchen such as tabletops, vanities, countertops, and flooring are microbe-free. However, the only bottleneck in the growth trajectory of the global decorative high-pressure laminates market is the fluctuating raw material prices. Nevertheless, enhancement in the printing techniques with advanced graphics and manufacturing of eco-friendly laminates are expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the market players operating in the global market.
