Cresols as key fine chemical intermediates play an important role in producing antioxidant, Vitamin E, pesticides, flavor and so on. After fast development in last ten years, China’s para-cresol and cresol mixture have been self-supplied. However, 40% meta-cresol and ortho-cresol consumption in total still depends on import. As of August 2009, about 47 manufacturers are engaged in cresol production in China. What are differences between the past and current cresol production situation? What factors have caused these differences? How about the future trend?

China exports a small volume of para-cresol every year, but has to import large meta-cresol and ortho-cresol to meet domestic demand. What changes have taken place in cresol import and export in the past five years?
