Dublin, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Australia Phenol Market Analysis Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Technology, Demand & Supply, End User Industries, Distribution Channel, Region-Wise Demand, Import & Export , 2015-2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Australia Phenol Market Forecast to Reach 46.6 Thousand Tonnes by 2030

Australia's phenol market recorded demand of 31.2 thousand tonnes in 2020 and is projected to reach 46.6 thousand tonnes by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 4.00% during the forecast period. Market growth is supported by sustained demand from bisphenol A production and the increasing use of epoxy resins and polycarbonates across major end-use industries.

Bisphenol A remains one of the leading end-use segments for phenol in Australia. Demand is closely linked to the use of polycarbonates and epoxy resins in automotive, construction, electronics, and other industrial applications. Polycarbonate consumption is expected to increase as manufacturers seek materials that provide high-temperature performance, durability, and safety characteristics. Continued activity across infrastructure, mobility, and electronics manufacturing is anticipated to support the long-term outlook for the Australia phenol industry.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the Australia phenol market through temporary manufacturing closures, supply chain interruptions, and distribution constraints. Lockdown measures also weakened industrial activity and disrupted demand across downstream sectors. As restrictions eased and business operations resumed, the market began to stabilize. The recovery of end-user industries and the normalization of supply channels are expected to contribute to renewed phenol demand through 2030.
