Description

Report Overview

Benzenethiol (CAS 108-98-5), also known as thiophenol, is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅SH. It is characterized by a benzene ring bonded to a sulfhydryl (–SH) group, giving it a distinct, strong odor similar to that of thiols. Benzenethiol is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and rubber chemicals, where it serves as a building block for more complex sulfur-containing compounds. It also finds applications in polymer stabilization, corrosion inhibitors, and as a ligand in metal coordination chemistry. The compound is highly reactive due to the presence of the thiol group, making it valuable in various chemical transformations, including nucleophilic substitution and oxidation reactions. Its production involves processes such as the reduction of benzenesulfonyl chloride or the reaction of benzene with hydrogen sulfide under catalytic conditions. Due to its toxic and malodorous nature, handling requires strict safety measures, including proper ventilation and personal protective equipment.

The global market for benzenethiol is driven by its widespread use in specialty chemicals and agrochemical formulations, particularly in regions with strong pharmaceutical and agricultural industries, such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The Asia-Pacific region, led by China and India, dominates demand due to expanding chemical manufacturing capabilities and growing agrochemical production. Key market players focus on optimizing production processes to meet regulatory standards while ensuring cost efficiency. Environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding sulfur-containing compounds pose challenges, pushing manufacturers toward sustainable alternatives and cleaner production methods. Despite these constraints, the market is expected to grow steadily, supported by ongoing research in pharmaceutical applications and demand for high-performance rubber chemicals. However, volatility in raw material prices and competition from substitute compounds could impact market dynamics in the long term.

The global Benzenethiol (CAS 108-98-5) market size was estimated at USD 28.23 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.27% during the forecast period.
