The forecasted import of phenol (hydroxybenzene) to China shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, rising from 468.37 million USD to 479.08 million USD. Year-on-year growth rates are consistent, with a slight upward trend over the period. In 2023, the value of imports stood at a slightly lower level, indicating positive growth from then.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in domestic production that could impact import levels.
Economic factors affecting the demand in end-user markets, particularly in the automotive and construction industries.
Environmental regulations that might influence phenol supply chains.
Trade policy adjustments between China and major phenol-exporting countries.
