Scope of the Report

The global Benzenethiol (CAS 108-98-5) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 28.31 million in 2025 to US$ 43.08 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2026 to 2032.

At room temperature, Benzenethiol (CAS 108-98-5) is a colorless liquid with a foul odor. It is weakly acidic, heavier than water, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, benzene and ether. It has a stimulating effect on the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. At higher concentrations, it can paralyze the central nervous system. Applying on the skin can cause dermatitis and ulcers. Similar to phenol. It is corrosive and flammable. When exposed to open flames, high heat or contact with oxidants, there is a danger of causing explosion. In case of acid, hydrogen sulfide is decomposed. Mainly used in the synthesis of pesticides and medicines.

Japan accounted for the largest market with about 42.3% of the Global consumption for benzenethiol in 2019. There are two main thiophenol manufacturers in the world, one is Zhejiang Yangfan New Materials Co., Ltd. in China, and the other is Sumitomo Seika in Japan.
