The global 4-Mercaptophenol market size is predicted to grow from US$ 12.91 million in 2025 to US$ 18.11 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, the global production of 4-hydroxythiophenol is approximately 120 tons, with an average selling price of about 110 US$/kg. The scale of single-line production capacity varies depending on the production process and investment scale, with an average gross profit margin of approximately 30-40%. 4-hydroxythiophenol is a white solid organic compound containing both a phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) and a thiol group (-SH), and has a characteristic unpleasant odor. It is an important chemical intermediate widely used in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides, but it is irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, requiring protective measures during handling.

The core upstream raw materials for 4-hydroxythiophenol mainly include basic chemicals such as phenol, thiourea, dimethyl sulfate, or carbon disulfide, which are synthesized through sulfidation, hydrolysis, or substitution reactions. The downstream industry chain mainly focuses on three high-value-added fine chemical fields: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes. In the pharmaceutical field, it is an important active intermediate for the synthesis of certain antiviral, anticancer, and cardiovascular drugs; in the pesticide field, it can be used to construct fungicides or insecticides containing phenyl sulfide structures; in the dye field, its benzene ring and thiol group can serve as functional groups to participate in the synthesis of special azo dyes or functional pigments, improving product performance.
