Catechol, also known as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound that belongs to the dihydroxybenzene isomer family. It is a colorless crystalline solid that gradually turns brown when exposed to air due to oxidation. Catechol is produced mainly through hydroxylation of phenol or extraction from natural sources such as catechin derivatives. It is an important chemical intermediate widely used in the synthesis of agrochemicals (herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides), rubber chemicals, polymerization inhibitors, pharmaceuticals, and antioxidants. Additionally, catechol serves as a precursor for the production of fine chemicals such as perfumes, dyes, and flavoring agents. Its versatility, high reactivity, and strong reducing properties make it a valuable raw material across multiple industries.

Global production of catechol exceeded 68,000 tons in 2024, with an average factory price of approximately $2,000 per ton.

Regional Insights -

The Asia-Pacific region holds the largest share of the catechol market, driven by rapid industrialization in China, India, Japan, and South Korea. China is the leading producer and consumer, supported by a strong base of agrochemical and rubber industries. The expansion of pesticide and dye manufacturing in the region continues to create significant demand. Additionally, growing pharmaceutical and specialty chemical production in India further boosts consumption. However, regulatory restrictions on chemical waste management are pushing manufacturers toward greener and more sustainable catechol production processes.

Europe represents a mature market, with strong demand in specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymer industries. Germany, France, and the UK are the major consumers due to their advanced chemical manufacturing sectors. European regulations emphasize sustainable production and reduced environmental footprint, which has encouraged companies to invest in bio-based and cleaner catechol alternatives. Moreover, demand is growing in the field of high-performance materials, adhesives, and coatings where catechol is used as a raw material.

The North American catechol market is stable, with the United States being the key driver. The demand comes primarily from the pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and rubber processing sectors. The U.S. benefits from advanced R&D activities and technological innovation, which support applications of catechol in biochemistry and polymer research. Stricter environmental regulations, however, limit overcapacity expansion and encourage manufacturers to optimize production efficiency and focus on high-value applications.

In Latin America, Brazil and Mexico are the major markets for catechol, driven mainly by agricultural activities and the need for pesticides and herbicides. Growing industrialization and expansion of the coatings and adhesives sector also add to market growth. However, limited domestic production capacities mean that the region relies heavily on imports from Asia-Pacific and North America, making pricing more volatile.

The Middle East & Africa market for catechol is relatively small but growing, supported by investments in chemicals and downstream industries in countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and South Africa. Increasing demand for agrochemicals due to expanding agricultural activities, along with the rising adoption of adhesives and coatings in construction, is gradually shaping the demand outlook. However, infrastructural limitations and dependency on imports remain challenges for regional growth.

Global core manufacturers of Catechol include Syensqo (Solvay), UBE Industries and Camlin Fine Sciences. China is the largest consumption region, accounting for approximately 46% of the global market.
