Vietnam Phenol Market

Market Overview:

Vietnam phenol market size reached USD 97.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 128.4 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.09% during 2025-2033. The rapid industrialization across Vietnam, widespread product utilization in the pharmaceutical industry, increasing product demand in the manufacturing of various plastics, and growing demand for phenol-derived herbicides represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Phenol (C6H5OH) refers to a white crystalline aromatic organic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring. It is volatile in nature and has a distinctively sweet yet pungent odor. The production of phenol predominantly involves the cumene process, where benzene and propylene react to form cumene, which is subsequently oxidized and cleaved to yield phenol and acetone. Phenol finds application in the manufacturing of polycarbonates, epoxies, and pharmaceutical formulations, including aspirin and paracetamol. It is also used in the production of detergents, herbicides, and synthetic fibers. Phenol is known for its antiseptic properties, efficacy as a precursor to numerous materials, and versatility in chemical reactions. In addition, it offers several advantages, such as excellent reactivity, the ability to produce high-performance polymers, and its role in producing essential drugs.
