Global Para-tert-Octylphenol (POTP) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Para-tert-Octylphenol (POTP) market size was valued at US$ 205 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 254 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 2.6% during review period.

Para-tert-Octylphenol (POTP), also known as 4-tert-octylphenol, is an organic compound belonging to the class of alkylphenols. Its chemical structure features a benzene ring with one of its hydrogen atoms replaced by a tert-octyl group, which is an alkyl group with four methyl branches attached to a central carbon atom. Specifically, the molecular formula of POTP is C₁₄H₂₂O, where the -C(CH₃)₃CH₂CH₂- group is attached to one of the para (or 1,4-) positions of the benzene ring (C₆H₆). Para-tert-Octylphenol (POTP) is an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative with a tertiary alkyl substituent attached to the benzene ring. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid at room temperature, insoluble in water but soluble in various organic solvents.

The industry is highly concentrated and downstream customers are stable. SI Group, Maruzen Petrochemical, Zibo Xujia Chemical are the main players in the global industry. SI Group is considered to be the global market leader. The market is not only influenced by the price, but also influenced by the product performance. The leading companies own the advantages on better performance, more abundant product’s types, better technical and impeccable after-sales service. Consequently, they take the majority of the market share of high-end market. Looking to the future years, prices gap between different brands will go narrowing. Similarly, there will be fluctuation in gross margin. The major raw material for PTOP is isobutylene and other auxiliary materials. Fluctuations in the price of the upstream product will impact on the production cost of PTOP, and then impact the price of PTOP. The production cost of PTOP is also an important factor which could impact the price of PTOP. In addition, the impact on the cost and availability of raw materials and certain components is uncertain due to potential supply changes. The costs of raw materials have a significant impact on the level of expenses. If the prices of raw materials and related factors such as energy prices increase, and if new companies cannot pass those price increases on to customers, their results of operations and financial condition would suffer.
