Nonylphenol Market Drivers

Flourishing Food & Beverages Industry

There is an increasing demand for nonylphenol from the packaging industries to manufacture polymer and plastics. Nonylphenol is generally used as a polymer resin in plastic food packaging and polyethylene plastic. The Indian government will be investing Rs 40 crore (US$ 6.2 million) to increase the domestic production of plastics in the country. According to Invest India, by 2025, India’s food processing sector is expected to be worth over half a trillion dollars. In 2018, Japan’s total value of retail food and beverage sales was $479.29 billion (¥53,339 billion), an increase of 2.3%, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The rising disposable income has resulted in the increasing demand for the food and beverage industry in various regions, which is boosting the packaging industry. Thus, the expanding food and beverage industry acts as a driver for the nonylphenol market.

Increasing Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry

Nonylphenol ethoxylates are extensively used in the personal care & cosmetics industry in products such as skin cream, deodorant, makeup, hair dye, and shampoo. The market size of India’s beauty, cosmetics, and grooming market will reach $20 billion from the current $6.5 billion by 2025, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), Thailand’s beauty and personal care products market was valued at about $6.2 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $8.0 billion in 2022. The beauty and personal care industry in Thailand is expected to grow by 7.3 percent per year from 2019 to 2022. Tremendous growth has been witnessed in the personal care & cosmetics industry which acts as a driver for the nonylphenol market.

Nonylphenol Market Challenges

Aquatic Toxicity from Nonylphenol

Nonylphenol widely recognized for extreme aquatic toxicity to fish and wildlife is one of the most notorious examples of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals (PBTs). Under the ECHA company classification, nonylphenol is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects, causes severe damage to the eyes, is harmful if swallowed, and causes irritation of the skin. In addition, the United States, Europe, and China have phased out the use of nonylphenol in detergents completely and Denmark has banned nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) in the textile and leather industries. The EU passed a directive 2003/53/EC in 2003 in Europe, restricting the marketing and use of products and product formulations that contain more than 0.1% of NPE or NP9. Further, in 2016, it restricted NPE concentration to 0.01 % in textile articles entering the market after 2021. There are no specific standards for the chemical in India, although it is prohibited in cosmetics. IS 4707 (Part 2): In 2009 the use of Nonylphenol in cosmetics was banned by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Under the EU REACH, the use of NPEs is restricted in formulations containing more than 0.1% of the substance. Thus, the aquatic toxicity from nonylphenol may hinder the nonylphenol market.

The Emergence of Covid-19 Pandemic

For the oil, gas, and chemical industries, the first quarter of 2020 was an unanticipated turning point, owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.
