Carbolic Oil Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Extraction of Phenol, Pyridine Bases, Pharmaceutical, Household, Other) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Carbolic oil is also known as middle oil. It is a fraction, which is obtained via coal-tar distillation that typically contains naphthalene and tar acids. Whereas, the mixture of coal tar is produced from coal carbonization and condensable organic components. It consists of aromatic, hydrocarbons, phenolic, and aromatic nitrogen compounds. Additionally, carbolic oil is the oldest antiseptic agent. The chemical derivatives of carbolic oil are used for the production of various detergents, pharmaceutical drugs, herbicides, polycarbonates, and nylon. The carbolic oil also finds its use in the extraction of phenol and pyridine bases.

The increasing demand for carbolic oil in the extraction of phenol and the pharmaceutical industry will fuel market growth. Carbolic oil is the key ingredient that is used in the extraction of phenol. Whereas, the extracted phenol finds its high use in the cosmetics industry. It is mainly utilized in primer, sunscreen lotion, hair colouring, and skin lightening creams. Also, traditionally the carbolic oil was highly utilized in the household in order to prevent snake infestation. This further makes it a sustainable choice in the pharmaceutical industry. Hence. The increasing demand for the product in these applications will fuel the carbolic oil market growth during the forecast timeline.

However, poison occurs when carbolic oil is directly inhaled or touched, which further causes hazardous impacts on people. This restricts its adoption in various applications and is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
