Pentachlorophenol Market Research 2022: Top Key Players, Drivers, Challenges and Market Insights

Pentachlorophenol industry witnesses less research & development enabling a static growth in the forecast period. Commercially, the pentachlorophenol uses include protection of wood from fungus. Pentachlorophenol is a manufactured chemical strongly used as a pesticide and industrially used as a wood preservative for railroad ties, and utility poles. Characteristically, pure pentachlorophenol exists as colorless crystal in nature whereas impure pentachlorophenol is dark gray in color and exists in form of dust, beads and flakes. Global Pentachlorophenol Market is expected to grow at a lower CAGR in the assessment period.



Pentachlorophenol Market Driving Factors that propel the growth:

·         Rising industrialization
·         Rising urbanization
·         Protect wood from fungal growth
·         Segmented into insulating gas, agriculture, domestic fields

The chemical was widely used as a pesticide but since 1984 its availability is subject to a number of tests and is very less available to general public. It is still existent and is used in industrial applications certainly as a wood preservative. It can be found in air, water and soil and enters the environment through evaporation from treated wood surfaces, disposal at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and by treating wood spills. It can be also broken down by sunlight, microorganisms and other chemicals in a certain span of days to months.

Again, pentachlorophenol being hazardous in nature is responsible to cause cancer in workers engaged in high levels of technical grade. Constant exposure to pentachlorophenol in such cases increases liver, adrenal glands and causes nasal tumors. Thus, pentachlorophenol being a hazardous chemical and primarily responsible to cause cancers in humans is likely to decline in much of commercial use. Though, it is banned in most countries the practice of using pentachlorophenol as a wood preservative still prevails, thus, the pentachlorophenol market is likely to grow at a lower CAGR in future
