The increasing usage of polycarbonate plastics in the automotive and electronics industries is primarily due to their lightweight, durability, and versatility, thus driving the demand for phenol. B2B companies selling phenol enjoy consistent growth in these sectors, particularly in applications related to vehicle components, consumer electronics, and construction materials, thus augmenting growth in the phenol market.
The demand for epoxy resins in coatings, adhesives, and electrical laminates is increasing, fueling the rise in phenol consumption. In this regard, B2B suppliers of various products, which include construction and aerospace industries, benefit from widespread use of epoxy-based products in high-performance coatings and structural applications.
Phenol is increasingly used in pharmaceutical intermediates and medical products, such as antiseptics and anesthetics. This bodes well for B2B suppliers since the growth of the healthcare industry, driven by the aging population and the increasing number of medical infrastructures, leads to steady demand for phenol-based products.
The global phenol market is being driven by the rising demand for alkyl phenols. Alkyl phenols currently accounts for 4.5% of the global end-use application. Alkyl phenols are broadly used as precursors to detergents, as building block chemicals for fragrances, fire-retardant materials, and thermoplastic elastomers, and as additives for fuels and lubricants. They are also found in tyres, coatings, adhesive, and high-performance rubber product, in consequence to their downstream applications.
The demand for phenol has also been rising globally due to the growth of its end use industries, owing to the increasing urbanisation, changing lifestyles and the rise in disposable incomes globally. The end use sector is led by Bisphenol A, which accounted for 47% of the industry share. Strong demand from emerging countries is facilitating the growth in the phenol market. The technological advancement in the techniques of its production has added further impetus to the phenol market growth.
Phenol is also in demand in sectors like farming and animal husbandry where it is used in fungicides and disinfectants. Through its downstream uses, phenol also finds applications in the automobile and construction sectors. The construction industry is expected to grow by 85% in 2030 to attain USD 15.5 trillion, with China, US, and India accounting for 57% of the estimated growth. China along with India are the key automotive markets. Thus, with the growing demand for phenol derivatives like polycarbonate and epoxy resins in the automobile and construction sector, the phenol market is being propelled forward.
