Phenol Market to Reach USD 20.07 Million by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.9% | ChemAnalyst

NEW YORK - May 20, 2022 - PRLog -- According to ChemAnalyst report, "Phenol Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Technology, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Distribution Channel, Regional Demand, 2015-2030", Phenol market was valued USD 12.5 Million in 2020 and is forecast to reach USD 20.07 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% until 2030. Global demand of phenol is growing constantly, owing to its commercial viability and use of its derivatives such as Bisphenol A, Phenolic Resins, Caprolactam, Alkyl Phenyls and others which are further employed to manufacture a wide range of products such as liquid detergents, inks, mouthwash, wood preservatives, herbicides, floor cleaners and disinfectants. Additionally, it acts as an intermediate or precursor for synthesizing several chemical compounds and pharmaceutical drugs or as a derivative in the production of nylon, herbicides, epoxies, and cosmetics.

Phenol is an aromatic compound containing a hydroxyl group. It is derived from cumene which is manufactured from Propylene and benzene. Cumene is oxidized to form cumene peroxide which further gives phenol and its by product acetone. Globally phenol is consumed majorly in the production of Bisphenol A. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins which are further used in electronics, automotive, optical, paint & coating industries. The end-use sector is driven by Bisphenol A, representing approximately half of the market share. Hence, due to Phenol's multi-faceted application across several industries is expected to push demand for the product to unprecedented levels during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact:

Sudden onset of the global pandemic COVID-19 has created a domino effect and weakened the demand of Phenol in the market as most of the major manufacturers are either shutdown or running at less than 50% of their capacity utilization. However, Phenol and related downstream products market is showing a recovering pattern in demand owing to its applications in the production of phenolic resins, pharmaceutical drugs, detergents coupled with the surging demand of disinfectants and floor cleaners amidst the covid crisis eventually drives the Phenol market globally.
