Phenol & Acetone

Prompt updates on key factors influencing prices

Market-moving, actionable news and insight in real time

The global phenol-acetone market has historically experienced uncertainty of supply and an unbalanced market, due in part to unexpected closures. This raises questions about future supply. However, new projects in the Middle East, China, and India may help to resolve the issue.

Acetone and phenol are co-products, usually made from cumene, itself derived from benzene and propylene. Just over half a tonne of acetone is produced for each tonne of phenol.

Acetone used to produce methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylic acid, and bisphenol-A (BPA). The largest markets for phenol are bisphenol-A (BPA) and phenolic resins.
