11th ICIS World Phenol-Acetone Conference 

Hyatt Regency Hotel Cologne | Cologne, Germany
5-6 June 2025

Navigating the future of the Phenol and Acetone Market

 

The global phenol and acetone markets are experiencing significant shifts, with new capacity expansions in Asia, particularly China. This surge is set to impact global trade flows and could lead to potential overcapacity, influencing market prices and operating rates worldwide.

In Europe, the phenol and acetone markets are facing challenges such as high feedstock costs, low demand, and reduced consumption of derivatives like BPA, epoxy resins, and polycarbonates. The ban on the use of BPA in food contact materials in the EU could further impact demand for phenol and acetone derivatives.

Safeguard your future with the opportunity to discuss your expectations and learn from industry experts at the 11th ICIS World Phenol-Acetone Conference.
