The global Resorcinol market stood at nearly 70 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.94% during the forecast period until 2032.


Resorcinol is a water-soluble organic compound that is commonly produced from benzene through via benzene disulfonation process. It is mainly used in the production of resins and have application in numerous downstream sectors majorly including rubber & tyre industry, pharmaceutical, and others. The main characteristic of Resorcinol is it is being used as a bonding or stiffing agent across numerous industries owing to its ability to bond compounds such as wooden & rubber products well to various types of surfaces. It is widely consumed by the growing automotive & transportation sector in belts, rubber-coated fabric, tires, etc. Resorcinol not only helps in improving the adhesion of rubber to the reinforcing material but also improves the overall mechanical properties of the rubber compound. Meanwhile, the growing pharmaceutical industry utilizes Resorcinol for manufacturing various pharma drugs, and fungicidal creams, which further contribute to the market. Owing to these factors, the Resorcinol market is expected to reach 100 thousand tonnes in 2032.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Resorcinol market followed by Europe. This region held a market share of approximately 70% in 2022.
