Global Cresols Market Definition

Cresols are a type of Methylphenols. They occur in three different isomers and are organic. The other name of Cresols is Cresylic Acid. They occur abundantly in nature. People inhale this intoxicated air because of the Cresol mixed in the atmosphere. However, their presence in soil and water is usually low. Generally, they are released from automobile exhaust in densely populated cities and with a huge number of gas stations.

Other sources of exhaustion of cresols are the burning of coal, wood, solid waste, etc. All these releases cause the human population to inhale Cresols from the open air. As per a scientific study conducted between 1990 to 1998, the average concentration of cresol was 31.7 ng/ cubic meter cresols. Cresols can be in liquid form or solid form depending on the temperature of the area. They oxidize, if exposed to the air and turn from yellow to brownish color.

Global Cresols Market Overview

P-Cresol is the leading commercial product. It is mainly used in BHT production, antioxidants, and Food and Cosmetic sectors. Another important use is in the Pharmaceutical Sector. One of the major demands of the product is Butylated Hydroxytoluene. Its application as a flavoring agent and perfumery chemicals gained more prominence in recent years. Thus, the demand for perfumes and the food industry is directly fuelling the demand for Cresols. Some of the derivatives of Cresols are used in adhesives, plasticizers, etc. These applications find extensive use in the packaging industry.

The chemical intermediate roles are useful in brake and clutch linings. So, in automobiles the demand for cresols is evident. One of the biggest market drivers is in the Pharmaceutical sector. One of the derivatives called thymol is used as a flavoring agent in pharmaceuticals. Due to its anti-microbial advantage, it is used extensively as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Thus, the growth in the pharmaceutical sector is fuelling the cresols demand. On the other hand, these derivatives also find their use as stabilizers in pesticide production. Thus, agricultural growth is another important market driver for cresols.

The environmental harm that cresols bring is one of the big market restraints. This is because strict regulations are imposed on the chemical firms and they have to abide by them to restrain air pollution.
