Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is a white crystalline organic compound which is volatile in nature. It is an important industrial commodity as its derivatives are key ingredients in making a wide range of industry products. Phenol and its derivatives are mostly used to make polycarbonates, epoxy resins, Bakelite, nylon, phenolic resins, detergents, herbicides, and pharmaceutical drugs. Its major use that comprises two-third of its production involves the conversion of its derivatives to plastic. The main chemical derivative and the largest market for phenol is bisphenol-A (BPA).


The global demand for the industrial phenol market has been steadily increasing over the last few years mainly because of the demand for its derivatives from the end-use segment. The derivatives of phenol namely bisphenol-A, phenolic resins, and caprolactam together accounted for more than 70% demand for phenol globally in the year 2010. The other factor propelling the growth of the phenol market is the recent growth of the wind energy market. The rise in demand for epoxy resins (derived from phenol) from wind turbine power generators is expected to continue due to the increased global focus on sustainable energy sources in the current high cost crude oil and energy environment.

The growing demand for phenol in China and the Asia-Pacific region provides a wide range of opportunities to the phenol industry. China has emerged as a petrochemical product manufacturer and thus imports a major amount of phenol for producing its derivatives. 

This demand in China is also driving the Asia-Pacific region’s demand for phenol. Many manufacturing plants for phenol and acetone derivatives in the Asia-Pacific region are driving the demand for phenol tremendously, thereby compensating for the slow and steady growth in the American and European market.

Some of the major companies involved in the production of phenol and its derivatives are PTT Phenol, Aditya Birla Chemicals, Bayer Material Science, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Shandong Sheng Quan Chemicals Co. Ltd.

Phosphoric fertilizers are manufactured by adding acid to ground or pulverized phosphate rock. Phosphate (SSP) is produced by employing sulfuric acid to chemically extract phosphate from phosphate rock. Organic phosphorus fertilizer has also been discovered in animal remains or in composted animal manure .Unrefined rock phosphate is also used as organic fertilizer, but it can take a number of years by plants to split it down enough for plants to access the nutrients.


The main driver for phosphorous fertilizer market is the agriculture industry. Plants need phosphorous for cell division, growth, photosynthesis, and nuclear formation. Phosphorous compounds transfer and store energy in plants. Hence most crops require significant amount of phosphorous during early stages of growth as deficiency of phosphorous leads to stunting, purpling, or browning on lower leaves or base stem of plants. However heavy doses of phosphorus fertilizer have no considerable result on roots, as most of the phosphorus utilized ends up getting washed away by rain before the plants can benefit from it. 

Excess use of phosphorus fertilizer is a serious threat to water quality because it enters waterways through the storm drains. Phosphorus can also flourish unwanted aquatic plants and green algae that exhaust oxygen in water. Low water oxygen levels kills fish and other aquatic animals. Low oxygen levels in water also increases the cost of drinking water purification. Hence, U.S. has banned the use of phosphor in fertilizers.

Asia Pacific is leading consumer of phosphorous fertilizer followed by Europe and North America. Some of the leading manufacturers in phosphoric fertilizer market are Foskor, Yara International ASA, Omnia, Sasol Nitro, Ma'aden Phosphate Company and others.

It is in use for the past forty years, and has technically developed over time, responding to market needs. This is an industry which has witnessed strong market growth over the past years and is expected to remain buoyant in the near future. The market revenue as well as volume are estimated to rise in tandem. It has high scope of growth in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.  

Smaller boats are expected to lead the usage of composites, as their production is on the rise. There is huge demand for composites for manufacturing of hulls of yachts and sailing boats, as they are practically maintenance-free. A rise in the number of recreational boats is a key driver of this market. A lot of research is currently undertaken to improve the casting and molding techniques of the composites, which has reduced the cost considerably. There has been a surge in the demand for glass fibers for small boats, while large marine crafts continue to demand CFRP. Rise in the cost of fuel is another driver for this market as manufacturers look to increase fuel efficiency, and reduce the maintenance cost, which is possible with the use of marine composites.

Although the demand is increasing every year, so is the cost of raw materials. The high cost of raw materials negates the market attractiveness of the product, although the technological improvements attempt to bring down the manufacturing costs. This industry is also highly susceptible to the prevailing macro-economic conditions, as demand and output both fall during recessionary periods.

Some of the major players in this market are Cytec Engineered Materials, Hexcel, Toray Carbon Fiber, Zoltek, Mitsubishi Rayon Co., and Nippon Graphite Fiber Corporation among many other prominent players.
