米国In Q1 2025, the Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) market recorded a mild reduction in prices with South Korea FOB Busan at $1015/MT, a drop of -2.40% compared to the previous quarter. The drop came due to a marginal fall in demand after the holiday season, mostly from the Packaging and Construction segments.
Though tight supply did exist, the high cost of production as well as overall global economic instability saw a drop in price. Also, logistical issues in major production areas kept 衝撃的 the supply chain, causing inefficiencies in distribution and production, which prevented prices from increasing any further.
Nevertheless, the market was quite stable as demand from necessary industries such as Medical and Consumer Goods kept offering some support.
During Q1 2024, the Phenol market across the world experienced mixed trends in different regions. In South Korea FOB Busan, Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices were $965/MT, registering a sharp fall of -11.55% compared to the last quarter.
The fall was primarily influenced by softening demand from major industry sectors such as Automotive and Electronics, which usually consume Phenol in huge quantities to manufacture Plastics and Resins. Furthermore, supply chain problems and decreased feedstock prices were also responsible for the price decline.
Nevertheless, in the USA, Thailand, and Singapore, the market was quite stable, thanks to moderate demand from the Construction and Packaging industries, which stabilized prices in these areas.
During Q2 2024, the downward price trend in South Korea FOB Busan persisted, with Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices dropping to $954/MT, a marginal decline of -1.14% compared to Q1. The continued weakness in demand from the Automotive and Electronics sectors, coupled with ongoing supply chain disruptions, was the reason for this price drop.
Rising production キャパシティ in Thailand and Singapore also contributed to the competitive market environment, exerting downward pressure on prices.
Conversely, in North America, the Medical and Consumer Goods sectors had very strong demand that kept any significant price falls from occurring. Moderate fluctuations in Europe were mostly a result of domestic supply constraints and issues related to new regulations.
By Q3 2024 early, South Korea FOB Busan Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices started to recover, hitting $1013/MT in July, up by 6.14% from the month before. This increase in price was mainly attributed to a recovery in demand from the Automotive and Electronics industries as economic conditions improved globally, and consumer demand picked up.
Moreover, global tightness in supply was caused by maintenance shutdowns in principle producing areas, which, together with increasing 原油価格, placed pressure on Phenol production costs in the upward direction. APAC freight rates were also high and contributed to overall price increases.
韓国 FOB Busan Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices were still appreciated in Q4 2024 to reach $1040/MT, an increase of 2.71% over Q3. Demand from Packaging and Construction grew even stronger during the period as consumers prepared to purchase more just ahead of festive holidays. An appreciation in the costs of feedstock, and particularly benzene, which is key for Phenol manufacture, only exacerbated supply tightening.
Stricter environmental regulations in major countries such as the USA and South Korea also contributed to increased costs of production and lower output. These, coupled with increasing energy prices, are factors that contributed to the ongoing upward pressure on prices.
In Q1 2025, India Ex-Kandla Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices dipped again to $960/MT, a –11.93% drop from Q4 2024. The market remained subdued with low demand from major sectors since most industries tend to move slowly in the first quarter of the year.
Elevated inventory levels and nervous buyer sentiment because of recent price volatilities also led to the price decline. Most buyers waited and watched, further suppressing prices.
In Q1 2024, the Indian Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) market (Ex-Kandla) registered a minor decline with prices at $1090/MT, registering a –0.46% decrease compared to the last quarter. The fall was primarily caused by demand stabilization from downstream industries such as laminates, resins, and pharmaceuticals.
Most producers were running with adequate inventory inherited from the fourth quarter of 2023, lowering the urgency of immediate buying. Moreover, demand normally dips in the post-festival season, which supports the moderate market activity.
2024年第2四半期、 Ex-Kandla Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices went up to $1170/MT, を表します。 a +7.34% increase from Q1. The price rise was underpinned by robust seasonal demand in the manufacturing and construction industries, especially in commodities such as plywood, coatings, and industrial resins.
Increase in infrastructure activity, coupled with imbalanced vessel schedules and increasing port congestion, drove up the cost. Overall domestic demand was robust, and it helped support the bullish trend.
During Q3 2024, Ex-Kandla Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices went up to $1180/MT, demonstrating a +0.85% growth compared to the last quarter. Healthy domestic consumption, particularly in the laminate and real estate-related industries, continued to pick up after the monsoons.
Despite the moderate growth in demand, limited vessel arrival and minor delay at Kandla port caused a contained supply scenario. This supported the market and did not allow prices to plummet drastically.
By Q4 2024, Ex-Kandla Phenol (Industrial Grade Purity: >99.5%) prices fell to $1090/MT, down –7.63% from Q3. Even though there were high hopes of high demand during the festive season, actual buying failed to live up to earlier estimates.
Most downstream participants had already stocked up in Q3, resulting in a surplus situation. Coupled with year-end slowdowns and less industrial activity, this resulted in a weakening in the market.

It is also used to make pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and herbicides. Phenol plays an important role in industries like automotive, construction, and healthcare due to its versatility and wide range of applications.
The pricing of phenol is influenced by several key factors, including the cost of feedstocks such as benzene and propylene, fluctuations in crude oil prices, and demand from downstream industries like plastics, resins, and pharmaceuticals. Environmental regulations and production capacity constraints can also impact availability and pricing. Additionally, geopolitical events and supply chain disruptions may lead to price volatility, making it crucial for procurement heads to stay informed about market trends and developments.
Raw material costs, particularly for benzene, play a significant role in determining phenol prices. When the prices of benzene and propylene rise due to increased demand or supply chain issues, phenol prices typically follow suit. Conversely, if raw material costs decrease or if there is an oversupply, phenol prices may decline. Procurement teams should closely monitor raw material markets and establish strong supplier relationships to negotiate better pricing and ensure stable supply.
Phenol prices can vary by region due to differences in raw material availability, production capabilities, and local demand conditions. For example, regions with robust petrochemical industries, like North America and Asia, may have different pricing structures compared to Europe, where regulations can increase production costs. Understanding these regional variations enables procurement heads to optimize sourcing strategies by identifying cost-effective suppliers and potentially leveraging lower-priced markets to improve overall procurement efficiency.
The future pricing of phenol is likely to be influenced by ongoing trends in raw material costs, regulatory changes, and global economic conditions. Procurement heads should anticipate fluctuations caused by changes in crude oil prices, shifts in demand from key industries, and sustainability initiatives affecting production methods. To prepare, procurement teams should actively monitor market reports, consider securing long-term contracts with suppliers, and diversify their sourcing strategies to mitigate risks associated with sudden price increases.
