4-tert-Amyl phenol or para-tertiary Amyl phenol (PTAP) is used in the manufacturing of phenolic resins which are then utilized in paints, coatings, varnishes, and printing ink resins. 4-tert-Amylphenol is used as a germicide and fumigant; intermediate for organic mercury germicides, pesticides, and chemicals used in the rubber and petroleum industries.

The global 4-tert-amylphenol market is expected to surpass US$ 27.9 million by the end of 2028 and exhibit a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2021 to 2028).

Drivers

Growing demand for infrastructure in various regions of the world, owing to increasing population, urbanization, and retail and hospitality sectors is expected to drive the global 4-tert-amylphenol market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2015, Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics stated that the global construction market is expected to grow by US$ 8 trillion at an annual rate of 3.9% by 2030, reaching a total size of US$ 17.5 trillion by 2030. Thus, the rapidly expanding construction industry is expected to boost the demand for paints & coatings, rubbers, and plastics, which in turn, is expected to boost the demand for 4-tert-amylphenol.

Among regions, the Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest revenue share of 46.8% in the global 4-tert-amylphenol market in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance in the near future. The regional market was valued at US$ 13.06 Mn in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.90% during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific 4-tert-amylphenol market is followed by North America and Europe region.

Market Restraints

Stringent regulations imposed by various governing bodies are a major factor hampering the global 4-tert-amylphenol market growth. For instance, in December 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Data Call-In (DCI) for the active ingredient para-tertiary amyl phenol (PTAP) manufacturers to support the continued use of 4-tert-amylphenol in disinfectants. The EPA regulated the use of PTAP or 4-tert-amylphenol in disinfectants and asked the U.S. manufacturers and suppliers to stop manufacturing & selling PTAP-based disinfectant products.

Market Trends

The growing usage of 4-tert-amylphenol in a wide range of disinfectant applications is expected to boost the market growth. 4-tert-amylphenol is used in the manufacturing of disinfectants and disinfectant cleaner products used in and around hospital, medical and institutional areas, schools, homes, farms, and other areas, where disinfection is required and/or desired.

Global 4-Tert-Amyl Phenol Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The global 4-tert-Amyl Phenol market is impacted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Several governments across the globe have imposed nationwide lockdowns to limit the spread of the virus, which resulted in the shutting down of businesses and ceasing of several economic activities. According to the International Monetary Fund’s 2020 report, the global economy contracted sharply by 3.0% in 2020, which is worse than the 2008-09 financial crisis. Moreover, the supply chain disruption has indirectly led to low demand for 4-tert-amylphenol.
