Global Creosote Oil Market Size is Expected to grow to $1397.32 Million by 2028

Global Creosote Oil Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global creosote oil market size will reach $1178.32 million in 2023 and is expected to grow to $1397.32 million by 2028.Creosote oil is a disinfectant and preservative that can destroy and kill cells.

Market Drivers and Limitations

Carbon black is widely used in tire manufacturing by adding it to rubber as a reinforcing agent and filler, and creosote oil is indispensable in carbon black production. Due to the growth in car sales, demand for the tire industry is expected to surge. However, health concerns associated with exposure to creosote oil, increasing environmental regulations, and the availability of cheaper alternatives are major factors, which could restrain market revenue growth. Creosote oil is known to contain Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are carcinogenic and can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and other health issues. These health concerns could restrain market revenue growth.Furthermore, increasing environmental regulations, particularly in developed economies, is another factor that could limit the market. The use of creosote oil as a wood preservative is banned in several countries due to its potential impact on the environment.

Market Segment

From the perspective of application fields, the wood preservation market segment occupies the largest market share, with a market share of 62.3% in 2022. Wood preservatives are used to protect wood from damage due to insects, fungi, and other factors. Creosote oil, a type of wood preservative, is widely used in railway, telegraph, and construction industries to protect wooden structures from decay, rot, and insect damage. In addition, the increasing need for protection of wooden furniture and rising demand for creosote oil in the printing industry for printing inks and carbon black are other key factors driving revenue growth of the market. Creosote oil is used as a fuel source in various industrial applications such as power generation, metallurgy, and chemical processing.

North America dominated the Creosote Oil market in 2022, with a market share of 32.66%, and is expected to witness a steady growth rate over the forecast period. The region is experiencing an increase in the demand for creosote oil due to its application in the railway sector, where it is used for preserving wooden railroad ties. Furthermore, the growth of the oil and gas sector in the region is also expected to drive the demand for creosote oil as it is used in oil rigs and pipelines for its anti-corrosive properties. The Asia Pacific is witnessing significant growth in the construction industry and countries such as China and India leading the way. As the demand for timber and wood-based products increases, the use of creosote oil for preserving wooden structures and railway sleepers is also expected to rise. Moreover, the growth of the automotive industry in the region is further expected to boost the demand for creosote oil as it is used for manufacturing tires.
