As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Phenol Market Report by End-Use (Bisphenol A, Phenolic Resins, Caprolactam, Alkyl Phenyls, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global phenol market reached a value of US$ 23.4 Billion in 2023. Also known as benzenol, phenol (C6H5OH) is an aromatic organic compound that is volatile and highly toxic in nature. It is more soluble in water and has a higher boiling point and acidity as compared to alcohol. It was earlier sourced from coal tar but is nowadays produced using petroleum. As phenol and its derivatives play an essential role in the production of epoxies, nylon, herbicides, polycarbonates and detergents, its demand is escalating around the world.
Global Phenol Market Trends:
The market has experienced significant changes in recent years due to technological advancements in the phenol production process. These advancements have improved the yield and safety and reduced processing costs. Moreover, on account of its antiseptic and disinfectant properties, phenol is being utilized as an industrial cleaner for machines and electronic equipment. It is also used as a raw material in the manufacturing of drugs and intense colored dyes and everyday products, such as inks, floor cleaners and liquid detergents. Apart from this, rapid economic growth and increasing construction activities in the residential and commercial sectors are strengthening the growth of the market. However, the market growth is being negatively impacted on account of lockdowns imposed by governments of several countries, which have resulted in the unavailability of labor, supply chain disruptions, and limited availability of raw materials. The market is expected to grow once normalcy is regained. Looking forward, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during 2024-2032.
