Phenolic Antioxidants Market size is expected to reach USD 9 Billion by the end of 2035, growing at a 6% CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of phenolic antioxidants was USD 4 Billion. This growth of the market is influenced by the growing production of plastic. Globally, every year about 399 tons of plastics are produced. Hence, with this growth, the adoption of phenolic antioxidants is also projected to grow. This is since, it possesses excellent properties which would prevent the oxidation of plastic. For instance, Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic phenolic antioxidant that is often used to reduce the oxidative degradation of plastic items.
Moreover, the automotive sector also plays a crucial role in boosting the market demand over the coming years since plastics are extensively used in manufacturing automobiles. Initial interior finishing was the principal application for car plastics. However, in recent years, they are also used for exterior automotive elements including doors, fenders, bonnets, and even bumpers that were once reserved for sheet metal and steel. Moreover, the growing trend of light-weight vehicles is boosting the preference for large use of plastics in this sector further driving the market growth.
Growth Drivers
Antioxidants in the diet may have a major impact on the prevention and progression of many diseases connected with oxidative stress. Numerous studies have looked at the role of phenolic compounds as antioxidants in preventing some of the most prevalent diseases linked to oxidative stress-driven pathologies, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders.
Global oil consumption is anticipated to reach about 103 mb/d by 2026. Hence, phenolic antioxidants could play a crucial role in satisfying this demand. The need for lubricant is high in industries such as oil and gas which uses heavy machinery to carry out their day-to-day activities. Moreover, this machinery also operates in extreme weather which could result in wear and tear of machines. Hence, in order to keep the functioning of machines in an efficient manner the need for lubricants is growing. Further, lubricants are mixed with phenolic antioxidants in order to boost the effectiveness of lubricants. Hence, in this manner, this factor would boost the demand for the market.
The phenolic chemicals, vitamins, and carotenoids that make up natural antioxidants are found in plants (fruits, legumes, and vegetables), mushrooms, and algae. Hence, natural phenolic antioxidants have recently gained popularity over synthetic ones, mostly as a result of consumers' increased desire for foods and beverages that are functional and have been infused with natural ingredients while still maintaining their original flavor and nutritional value.

Source (Natural, Synthetic)
Phenolic antioxidants market from the synthetic segment is predicted to generate the largest revenue in the upcoming years. This growth of the segment is estimated to be influenced by its growing use as additives in various end-use industries such as plastic & rubber, and fuel & lubricant. Moreover, synthetic phenolic antioxidants are employed as food additives to extend the shelf life of foods since they inhibit aging processes including the oxidation of lipid components that encourage color change and nutritional value loss.
Application (Plastic & Rubber, Food & Feed Additives, Fuel & Lubricants, and Industrial Lubricants, Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care)
The plastic & rubber segment is slated to hold a noteworthy share of the phenolic antioxidants market over the projected period. Antioxidants derived from phenols are frequently utilized as preservatives in the manufacture of rubber and plastics. Plastic is being accepted by various industries at an exponential rate owing to its outstanding qualities. Plastic additives are used as they lessen or postpone the degradation of plastic products, enhancing their effectiveness and usability under difficult circumstances such high pressure and temperature. As phenolic antioxidants control & limit the oxidation of plastic products in harsh settings, they are used as antioxidant additives in polymer processing. In turn, over the period of the prediction, this would fuel demand for phenolic antioxidants.

APAC Market Forecast
The phenolic antioxidants market in Asia Pacific, amongst the market in all the other regions, is set to have the highest growth by the end of 2035, backed by the growing population which is further boosting the demand for food. For instance, by 2050, Asia's population is projected to increase by 900 million to five billion, making it the largest food market in the world. Moreover, more than 60% of the world's total demand for cereal would come from South and East Asia. In comparison to a decade ago, food production is expected to increase by 60–70% to keep up with this rising demand.
European Market Statistics
The Europe phenolic antioxidants market is anticipated to have the significant growth over the forecast period. The market is expanding owing to the rising demand for products that stop plastic from deteriorating during manufacturing and other processes, where phenolic antioxidants are added to prevent this from happening. Furthermore, as a result of the higher penetration of end user industries there, Germany currently holds the largest market share in Europe and is set to continue to hold this position during the projection period. In addition, there has been the presence of strict regulations in order to reduce VOC emissions that are generated through various industries that include paints, and coating industry.
North American Market Analysis
The phenolic antioxidants market in North America is also estimated to grow over the forecast period. The growth of the market in this region is estimated to grow on account of the growing spread of awareness about phenolic antioxidants by the government.
