Cresols Market: Introduction
Cresols is an aromatic organic compound and obtained from coal tar or petroleum as a mixture
of three stereoisomers i.e. Ortho Cresols, Meta Cresols and Para Cresols. It is generally
referred as tricresol or cresolic acid and very toxic in nature. It is a strong dermal irritant and on
inhalation by human, it may cause serious hazards such as dryness, nasal constriction, and
throat irritation among others. However it is widely used for variety of applications such as
disinfectants, antiseptics, preservative and agrochemicals among others.

Ortho, Meta and Para cresol are stereoisomers and commercially manufactured as phenol
derivatives. There are two well-known manufacturing processes of cresol i.e. methylation of
phenol using methanol and sulfonation of toluene, followed by hydrolysis. However
manufacturing of cresol from toluene is industrially preferred route. It is appeared either as liquid
or in solid form with sweet and phenolic odor. Cresol mixture is industrially preferred
preservative, solvent, disinfectant and wood preservative. Meta cresol is for manufacturing of
herbicides, insecticides, antioxidants, photographic chemicals and explosive. While para cresol
is majorly used for manufacturing of antioxidants, dyes and fragrance chemicals. Ortho cresol
has found great application as chemical intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediate,
disinfectants and solvent.

Cresols Market: Market Dynamics
Average price of cresol is subjected to change with geographies and does not follow volume to
revenue ration in each individual geographies. Growing demand for specialty chemicals,
pharmaceuticals intermediates and industrial lubricants is expected to drive global consumption
of cresols. The growing demand for antioxidants and preservatives is another accelerator for
global market of cresols. Sustainability of the global cresols market is majorly depends on price
and availability of raw materials. However alarming government regulations on use of cresols for
certain applications such as in cosmetics and hair and dye products may restrain the overall
consumption of cresols across the globe.

Cresols Market: Regional Outlook
Major consumers of cresols are China, U.S., Western Europe and Japan and collectively
accounted for more than 60% of total world consumption in 2015. China is the largest market in
Asia-Pacific followed by India in 2016, and is expected to grow rapidly in the near future. Owing
to cresol’s value added applications such as solvent, disinfectant and preservative, it is
expected that the consumption of cresol will grow steadily especially in China and India. This is
primarily because of expansion of end-use industries such as rubber and plastics,
pharmaceuticals, dyes and chemicals in Asia Pacific. U.S. and Western Europe are two leading
