China and India are the leading exporters of 4-Chlorophenol, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the top importing countries. These markets collectively dominate trade flows, with North America and Western Europe remaining consistently strong demand centers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, though regional shifts in sourcing—particularly increased imports by South Korea from India—coincide with moderate fluctuations in 4-Chlorophenol prices.
4-Chlorophenol is a white to pale pink crystalline solid at room temperature, with a distinct phenolic odor and moderate volatility; it melts at approximately 43 °C and boils at 217 °C. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a chlorinated phenol and widely used as a chemical intermediate. Its primary industrial applications include synthesis of herbicides (e.g., 2,4-D and MCPA), disinfectants, preservatives, and dyes. It serves in the production of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty polymers, and is employed in certain resin and coating formulations.
