Global Carbolic Oil Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

The global carbolic oil market size was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Carbolic oil is also known as middle oil and it is obtained via coal-tar distillation that typically contains tar acids and naphthalene. The complex mixture of coal tar is made from condensable organic components, which emerge from coal carbonization. Phenols, a highly important industrial commodity frequently used to synthesize plastics, detergents, nylon, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, polycarbonates and other alternatives, are extracted by carbolic oil. The respective fact is the most prominent application of carbolic oil. The chemical derivatives of carbolic oil are used to produce numerous pharmaceutical drugs, polycarbonates and others.

Market Dynamics

Because of the increased use of its most common derivative, phenol, in cosmetics manufacturing, the global carbolic market is expected to grow exponentially. The strong demand for phenol in pharmaceuticals will further boost the market's growth. Similarly, the increased investments in the research and development of carbolic acid derivatives will propel market growth. However, the main challenge faced by the market is the toxic nature of carbolic oil and its detrimental effects on humans owing to prolonged exposure.

Increasing demand for carbolic oil in pharmaceutical & personal care sectors

Carbolic oil is highly utilized in cosmetics products like hair coloring, primer, sunscreen lotion and lightening creams. Moreover, carbolic oil is used in household applications to prevent snake infestation. Carbolic oil acts as an antiseptic agent, which is used to prevent microbial growth. The derivatives of carbolic oil are used to produce detergents, herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs, polycarbonates and nylon. Further, the increasing product demand in the extraction of phenol and the pharmaceutical industry is driving the global carbolic oil market growth. The demand for cosmetics, coupled with increasing product usage in the cosmetics industry, is expected to drive the global carbolic oil market demand.

The toxicity of carbolic oil on human health restrains the market growth

Carbolic oil is extremely dangerous when it comes into touch with the skin because it is corrosive and can permeate and irritate the skin. Carbolic oil can cause tissue damage when exposed to it as a liquid or spray, especially to the mucous membranes of the mouth, eyes and respiratory tract. Burns could result from skin contact and breathing in the spray mist could severely irritate the respiratory tract, as seen by choking, coughing or shortness of breath. As the respective properties result in stringent regulations and control over product sales, it could be said that carbolic oil's poisonous properties constrain the market's growth.

COVID-19 impact analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic unevenly impacted the global carbolic oil market. The pandemic and government-ordered lockdowns have led to a deep recession impacting virtually every region in 2020. The consumption and production of consumer products such as pharmaceuticals and house holding products were also hit. Government trade restrictions, breaking supply chains, government restrictions on manufacturing products and globally lockdowns can affect the extraction of phenol demand. Therefore, the phenol materials processing factories were closed. Thus the demand for the global carbolic oil market decreased internationally.

Nonetheless, the impact of the pandemic has been negligible on the carbolic oil market. The pandemic will not impact the long-term growth prospects of the global carbolic oil market since growing residential and industrial will rise in the coming years. The demand for pharmaceuticals and householding remains strong and is expected to grow gradually in the coming years.

Segment Analysis

The global carbolic oil market is segmented into type, treatment, application and region.

The pharmaceutical segment covered a large share of the market due to the increasing use of carbolic oil in pharmaceutical drugs and herbicides in developing regions globally

The carbolic oil market by application is further segmented into the extraction of phenol, pyridine bases, pharmaceutical, house holding and others. The pharmaceutical segment covered a large area of carbolic oil. The segment dominance is attributed to the greater usage of carbolic oil in consumer products such as pharmaceutical drugs and herbicides. Carbolic oil is a versatile precursor to a large collection of drugs, most notably aspirin. Additionally, carbolic oil is a significant component in the liquid-liquid phenol-chloroform extraction technique used in molecular biology to obtain nucleic acids from tissues or cell culture samples. Depending on the solution's pH, DNA or RNA can be extracted.
