H1 2023: During H1 2023, the major producers of Resorcinol on a global scale were Amino-Chem and Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. In H1 2023, Resorcinol prices continuously decreased in the Asian market. As trade activity increased and raw material benzene prices decreased in the Asian market, it led to a decrease in the pricing of the upstream Resorcinol market. The drop in market prices for energy and crude oil delayed the pricing of downstream chemicals like benzene and Resorcinol. Resorcinol suppliers were forced to lower prices to eliminate their massive inventories. Additionally, there were low inquiries from Chinese and foreign suppliers, and the price trend was mostly caused by a decline in sales in final consumption areas. Due to weak consumer demand, decreased sales from downstream sectors, and a lack of fresh inquiries from Chinese suppliers, the Resorcinol market sentiment remained depressed throughout H1 2023. On the other hand, in the European market, resorcinol prices varied in H1 2023 as a result of demand-supply imbalances. The downstream sectors of the pharmaceutical industry saw a rise in demand for Resorcinol in January 2023. Some facilities in northwest Europe continued to run at low-efficiency levels throughout the cold season because of a lack of Resorcinol in the area and rising prices in February 2023. Prices marginally decreased in March 2023 in Europe as a result of persistent demand and sufficient inventory in the European market.
H1 2022: During H1 2022, the top players in the global Resorcinol market were Amino-Chem, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., and Mitsui Chemicals. However, Amino-Chem held the largest production capacity of Resorcinol in H1 2022. Geographically, Asia Pacific held the position of the largest consumer of Resorcinol during H1 2022. However, the Resorcinol prices in the Asian markets was on the lower side in H1 2022. The substantial falling of raw material benzene prices led to price declines in upstream resorcinol market in Asia Pacific region. Although, demand from the disinfecting end-user industry remained volatile across Asia. However, the Asian market remained stable during H1 2022 due to slow demand and limited supply of Resorcinol. In Asia, energy and crude oil prices fell during H1 2022, and prices for downstream chemicals including resorcinol slumped in the region. Europe also held a significant market share of Resorcinol during H1 2022. Market sentiment for resorcinol remained optimistic and prices were high in the European markets. However, the demand for disinfection had increased steadily across Europe in H1 2022.
H2 2022: In H2 2022, Asia Pacific continued to display a stable demand for Resorcinol. However, November 2022 onwards, Resorcinol prices began to fell down in the Asian markets. Increased trading activity and reduced demand for commodities led to lower feedstock (benzene) prices in Asian markets, leading to lower prices in upstream resorcinol markets. With moderate resorcinol demand and little supply, the market remained stable during this period. Falling energy and oil market prices had depleted the prices of resorcinol. However, the downstream demand for resins was not so significant in the last three months of 2022 with continuous demand from downstream industries such as furniture and tire industries. However, the prices of Resorcinol were quite stable in the last three months of 2022. The continuous demand of Resorcinol in the region by the downstream industries such as pharmaceutical and sanitation majorly drove the north American Resorcinol market. The imports of resorcinol from Asian countries were impacted by port congestion during the October 2022. Increased demand in the disinfection sector led to increased feed prices in the region and the resorcinol supply in the US market fluctuated between moderate and low. However, higher resorcinol import costs around November 2022 pushed the resorcinol prices on the higher side in US.
The global Resorcinol market stood at nearly 70 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.94% during the forecast period until 2032.
Resorcinol is a water-soluble organic compound that is commonly produced from benzene through via benzene disulfonation process. It is mainly used in the production of resins and have application in numerous downstream sectors majorly including rubber & tyre industry, pharmaceutical, and others. The main characteristic of Resorcinol is it is being used as a bonding or stiffing agent across numerous industries owing to its ability to bond compounds such as wooden & rubber products well to various types of surfaces. It is widely consumed by the growing automotive & transportation sector in belts, rubber-coated fabric, tires, etc. Resorcinol not only helps in improving the adhesion of rubber to the reinforcing material but also improves the overall mechanical properties of the rubber compound. Meanwhile, the growing pharmaceutical industry utilizes Resorcinol for manufacturing various pharma drugs, and fungicidal creams, which further contribute to the market. Owing to these factors, the Resorcinol market is expected to reach 100 thousand tonnes in 2032.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Resorcinol market followed by Europe. This region held a market share of approximately 70% in 2022. Europe is the second largest consumer of Resorcinol. Because of the strong demand from growing countries like China and India, the Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market. The fact that the area is the biggest center for automobile manufacturing is driving the region's resorcinol market's expansion.
