Which factors are Impeding the Growth of the Nonylphenol Industry?

Due to its capacity to imitate oestrogen alter the normal hormonal balance in exposed individuals, as nonylphenol is regarded as an endocrine disruptor. One of the most infamous instances of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic compounds is nonylphenol, which is well known for its high aquatic toxicity to fish and animals (PBTs). According to the ECHA business categorization, nonylphenol can produce long-lasting impacts on aquatic life, severe eye damage, is dangerous if eaten, and skin irritation.

Region-wise Insights

Which region holds significant prospects for the Nonylphenol market?

Both North America and Europe generate significant demand in the global market for nonylphenol, but the various restrictions imposed by the governments in the regions are slowing the expansion of the nonylphenol market in the region.

The United States has the dominating market for Nonylphenol globally. An Action Plan for Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylates was released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in 2010. Nonylphenol (CAS RN 25154-52-3), 4-nonylphenol, and branched 4-nonylphenol thereafter received proposals for Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) that forbade new uses without prior authorization (US EPA, 2015).

The Canadian Environmental Protection Act of 1999's Schedule 1 (the Toxic Substances List) contains a listing for nonylphenols (Environment Canada, 2013a). Since 2004, nonylphenol use has been gradually reduced in Canada, and the majority of nonylphenol users are now obligated to develop and carry out pollution prevention plans.

In Europe, U.K has a promising market for Nonylphenol which experienced a CAGR of 4.9% from 2015 to 2021 and is expected to experience a CAGR of 4.1% by 2032. In the next ten years, the market is expected to be worth US $ 98.2 Mn.

According to Annex XVII (List of Restrictions) of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation, nonylphenol (CAS RN 25154-52-3) is prohibited for use in the EU at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1 percent in most cleaning metalworking, pulp and paper manufacturing, textile and leather processing, cosmetic products, and other personal care products (ECHA, 2014).

Due to the potential for significant environmental hazards, branched 4-nonylphenol (CAS RN 84852-15-3) is now included on the Community Rolling Action Plan for review under the REACH regulations (ECHA, 2015c).

The demand for Nonylphenol in China is also witnessing significant growth. China produced the most chemicals in the world in 2018, accounting for US$ 1.2 billion, or 35.8% of all chemical sales worldwide, according to the European Chemical Industry Council, or Cefic. In 2018, 42.8% of all chemical sales were made by the BRIC nations.

Asian nations make up six of the top ten manufacturers, accounting for 51.5% of global chemical sales. China has more sales of chemicals than the combined markets of the Europe and The United States.

What was the impact of Covid-19 on the Nonylphenol Market?

The nationwide lockdown and the coronavirus pandemic have hampered the running of the textile sector in several places. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the functioning of the textile sector has been moderately affected, which has had a negative impact on supply chains, logistical procedures, and the availability of labor.

Since nonylphenol is typically employed in the clothing and textile sectors, the decline in the performance of these end-use industries during Covid-19 significantly restricted the expansion of the nonylphenol market. On the other hand, as a result of the pandemic, cleansers and disinfectants were used more often, which offset the declining demand for nonylphenol.
