[Online Quarterly Update] 4-Octylphenol Market achieved 435 thousand Tonnes in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.84% during the forecast period 2022-2030. Octylphenols are a large number of isomeric compounds that belong to the family of high purity alkylphenols. They are widely used as an intermediate in the production of phenol/formaldehyde resins as well as in the manufacturing of octylphenol ethoxylates. 4-Octylphenol with a chemical formula C14H22O also known as p-tert-Octylphenol comes under a class of phenols, which is substituted at the para- position by an Octyl group. It is manufactured from phenol and diisobutylene using DIC's proprietary techniques. 4- Octylphenols play a huge role as a xenoestrogen, a surfactant and a metabolite. They are extensively used for various commercial applications such as raw material for synthetic chemicals, chemical intermediate to UV stabilizers, products for children (e.g., Toys, children's cosmetics), food packaging, paper plates, cutlery, oil phenolic resins, surfactants, pesticides and many others. 4-Octylphenol also find its applications in the manufacturing of detergents, emulsifiers, dispersants, wetting agents, cleaning agents, foaming agent, etc. Many industries use 4-Octylphenols as additives in the production of rubbers, lubricating oils, films, or molding materials in order to improve the stability and shelf life. On the basis of purity, the 4- Octylphenol market is segmented into 99% purity and 99.5% purity. Based on end-use application, growing demand of 4-Octylphenol as a raw material for the manufacturing of phenolic resins to produce rubbers, paints etc., is dominating the 4- Octylphenol market and is forecasted to maintain its dominance over the next ten years.
In 2020, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, leading authorities in many major global economies like India and China, caused nationwide lockdowns, in order to curb the spread of coronavirus, due to which several industries were negatively affected. There was a decline in the demand of 4-Octylphenol due to disruptions in the global supply chain. However, the demand of 4-Octylphenol by the surfactants industry witnessed a positive impact due to surging demand of disinfectants and detergents during the first half of 2020. With the gradual reopening of market, the demand of 4-Octylphenol is likely to bolster by the end of the year.
Among different regions, the Asia Pacific region is likely to dominate the 4-Octylphenol market in the forecast period until 2030 due to the presence of largest industrial cleaning chemicals market in emerging countries like China, India and others. In Asia Pacific region, China is the largest consumer of 4-Octylphenol, owing to a large number of manufacturers of various end-uses, further propelling the market growth of 4-Octylphenol across the globe.
