Phenol Market Expected to Hit US$ 17.9 Bn by 2032, Growing at a 4.3% CAGR from 2025 | Persistence Market Research

The global phenol market is on a promising trajectory, projected to reach US$ 17.9 Bn by 2032, up from US$ 13.3 Bn in 2025, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.3% between 2025 and 2032, according to a new report by Persistence Market Research. This moderate yet steady growth is attributed to the expanding use of phenol in several industrial applications, notably in bisphenol-A (BPA) production, which is integral in the manufacture of polycarbonates and epoxy resins.

Phenol's versatility, especially in the production of resins, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, is a major market driver. The bisphenol-A segment leads the market owing to its widespread application in consumer electronics, automotive, and construction materials. Regionally, Asia Pacific dominates the phenol market, largely due to rapid industrialization, a booming construction sector, and growing demand from end-use industries in countries like China and India.
