The aminophenol market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been significant growth in the aminophenol market size in the past few years. The projections show an increase from $1.98 billion in 2024 to $2.08 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%.
The past growth can be credited to various factors such as elevated security needs, rigorous regulatory benchmarks, a worldwide surge in air travel, emphasis on customer experience, and the rise of new threats.
The aminophenol market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the aminophenol market is predicted to experience consistent growth, expanding to $2.48 billion in 2029 with a 4.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This anticipated growth during the forecast period is due to factors such as the rise in air travel volume, usage of artificial intelligence (ai), implementation of non-touch screening solutions, the global landscape of security threats, and the amalgamation of automated screening procedures. The forecast period is also expected to see major trends such as the emphasis on non-touch and biometric technology, advanced technology regulations, cooperation between public and private sectors, improved privacy and non-invasive technologies, collaboration for security solutions, and technological progression in detection.
The aminophenol market is projected to expand rapidly due to the speed of industrialization. Industrialization, defined as the transition of a country's or region's economy from agriculture to manufacturing, is spurred by factors such as technological advancements, global supply chain improvements, consumer-driven urbanization and supporting governmental policies. Aminophenol plays an integral role in this industrial shift as it is used in the creation of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber antioxidants, making it a vital part of manufacturing processes. For example, a Statistics Canada report in July 2023 revealed that nearly 19.5% of manufacturers intended to grow their existing businesses within the next year, a considerable increase compared to 8.2% in the arts, entertainment and recreation sector and almost triple the overall business average of 6.7%. Almost 9.0% of manufacturers aimed to expand within their current province, a figure akin to those in administrative and support, waste management, and remediation services (9.1%). Furthermore, 5.5% had international expansion plans, paralleling the 5.3% in the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector, and 4.5% in wholesale trade. Therefore, the industrialization surge is expected to stimulate demands in the aminophenol market. As we delve further into the factors driving the aminophenol market, the flourishing pharmaceutical industry cannot be overlooked. This industry is vested in the discovery, development, distribution, and marketing of medicinal drugs. Owing to its reactivity and versatility as an intermediate in various chemical reactions, aminophenol is utilized as a precursor in the formulation of different drugs like paracetamol, amodiaquine, and mesalazine. Drawing from a June 2023 report by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, there was a significant increase from $347.31 billion (€ 323,950 million) in 2021 to $364.26 billion (€340,000 million) in 2022 in the production value of pharmaceuticals in Europe. Consequently, the pharmaceutical industry's growth directly influences the expansion of the aminophenol market.

Prominent businesses in the aminophenol sector are ramping up production and innovating products such as para-aminophenol (PAP) to maintain their standing. Para-aminophenol (PAP) is an organic compound characterized by the molecular formula C6H7NO. For example, in June 2022, Sadhana Nitro Chem Limited, a chemical company from India, successfully initiated the production in its inaugural para-aminophenol (PAP) plant. This plant, only the second of its kind worldwide, produces para-aminophenol via a hydrogen-based catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene. The company has launched an aminophenol-based product in the Indian pharmaceutical market.
