Furthermore, with the growth in the automotive sector, there is an emerging need for various types of rubber-based products such as belts, tires, and rubber-coated fabrics, which is boosting the resorcinol market, globally.

Resorcinol Market Overview

Resorcinol is an organic compound having formula C₆H₄(OH)₂ and is also known as 1,3-Benzenediol. Resorcinol is a crystalline solid which is white in colour and soluble in water, alcohol and ether. It has a faint odor with a sweetish taste, and is used explicitly for adhesion purposes and the production of pharmaceutical plastics. Resorcinol is obtained from the crystallization of benzene. The main characteristic of Resorcinol is the bonding or stiffing properties with numerous industries and the ability to bond compounds such as wooden & rubber products well to various types of surfaces.

Resorcinol Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Rising Application in Pharmaceutical Industry Driving Resorcinol Market

In the pharmaceutical industry, resorcinol is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in topical pharmaceutical products for the treatment of skin infections (acne, seborrhoea dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, corns, calluses, and warts). Resorcinol inherits a keratolytic action and works in removing hard, scaly, and roughened skin. Although it is mainly prescribed as a topical application, resorcinol also exerts a well-documented anti-thyroidal activity that is usually not relied upon for any formal therapeutic indication. An increasing number of infectious diseases all over the globe helps to enhance the market of resorcinol. Also, the growing pharmaceutical industry where resorcinol is used to manufacture various pharma drugs, fungicidal creams, etc., would lead to an upsurge in demand for Resorcinol during the forecast period.

Growth of Automotive Industry Raising Demand for Resorcinol Market

Due to resorcinol's bonding and stiffing properties, it is widely used in the transportation sector to manufacture belts, seats, rubber-coated fabric, interior and exterior finishing, tires, etc. The wide range of applications in the automotive industry are expected to contribute to the market demand for resorcinol. In addition, resorcinol's strength and adhesive property, such as waterproofing capacity with strong adhesive nature, makes it superior for various industrial activities such as wood industries and large ship companies. So there would be an increase in the demand for resorcinol in the coming years. Resorcinol is also used as a raw material in the production of UV absorbers and various resins, including coatings, adhesives, and plastics, therefore, fuelling the growth of the global resorcinol market.

Restraints

Heavy Use of Resorcinol Can Potentially Cause Various Health Disease

The rising use of resorcinol in the cosmetic and food industry across the globe is resulting in increasing incidences of health diseases. In vitro research has shown that resorcinol can cause a variety of health problems, from skin irritation to possible endocrine disruption, posing a threat to the market growth.

However, growing health concerns and stringent regulations in countries such as Japan, Germany, and the United States are likely to restrain the usage of the resorcinol market. For Instance, Japan has restricted the use of resorcinol in cosmetics. The EU has placed limits over the concentration of the chemicals; Also, in the United States, the exposure of resorcinol to workers is regulated. Hence, these factors are anticipated to impede the growth of the global resorcinol market in the coming years.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Resorcinol Market

COVID-19 had a severe impact on most industries throughout the world, causing significant disruptions in manufacturing and supply chains as a result of numerous precautionary lockdowns. The same applies to the global resorcinol market due to decreased demand from end-users such as automotive, building, construction, and others. Furthermore, consumer demand has dropped as consumers have been more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets, such as cosmetics or personal care products. As a result of the outbreak, most people's economic situation has deteriorated significantly. These factors are expected to impede the market growth of the global resorcinol market during the forecast period.
