Phenol Market to Remain Tight According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd



LONDON – The phenol demand from its key application areas is rising up adding to the vast market tightness that characterizes a number of phenol producing regions. No large-scale new projects and capacity additions are planned for the coming 2-3 years which is believed to worsen the supply-demand uneven ratio. Mostly developed countries of Europe and North America are to tackle the phenol lack issue.

Rise of fee additions on the benzene contract price was negotiated by a number of manufacturers in the European countries, which according to them is set to be a key market tool to settle down the problem. Simultaneously this change will cause challenges for major phenol consumers.

New market research report “Phenol 2011 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2016” provides an insightful view at the total phenol market on the global level and looks deep into the country- and region-wise markets for the material. An elaborate analytical data review and detailed examination of the market projected future is covered in the study.

The study discusses the phenol market from the present, past and future spans and offers understanding of key market metrics such as phenol production and consumption in the reviewed countries, phenol trade statistics, and prices for the material registered for the reviewed period. Market projections for the future developments, trends, opportunities and challenges on the phenol market are covered through 2016.
