Phenol

Demand for phenol in India has grown about 10% a year from 2017-18 to 2025-26, faster than production, so India imports large volumes.

Phenol demand in India will grow 8-9% a year from 2026-27 to 2030-31. PF resin makers, whose output has grown strongly in recent years, lead the way; agrochemicals, alkyl phenols and pharmaceuticals add to it.

Most of India's phenol capacity came with Deepak Phenolics' Dahej plant (2018, 200 KTPA); the Kochi plant of Hindustan Organic Chemicals Ltd (HOCL) is much smaller, at 40 KTPA. Haldia Petrochemicals' integrated cumene-phenol-acetone plant at Haldia, with 345 KTPA of phenol and India's largest, is scheduled for commissioning on 14 October 2026. Deepak Chem Tech is adding 300 KTPA of phenol by 2027-28. Together they will cut the phenol India imports, and the foreign exchange spent on it.

Worldwide, phenol demand is growing 2-3% a year and capacity faster still; China accounts for about two-thirds of planned capacity additions to 2028.

Asia-Pacific drives global growth, making up for slow but steady growth in the American and European markets. China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are putting more phenol derivatives into electronic goods and cars, and China, the largest and fastest-growing market for them, should stay in front.
