Global metallurgical coal market: High demand for coal tar

Coal tar is a black or brown liquid of high viscosity, and it is one of the by-products of the coking process. This process includes the heating of coal in coke ovens to eliminate volatile matter from coal to produce coke, which is used as a fuel and reducing agent to produce steel, iron, and is used in many other processes. Coal tar is used widely to produce refined chemicals and coal-tar-based products such as coal-tar pitch and creosote. The demand for coal tar is steady owing to its characteristics and benefits.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on life science research tools, “In the healthcare industry, coal tar is being used in various forms such as creams, shampoos, lotions, ointments, and bath additive forms. It is used to treat various skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff. Earlier, coal tar products for skin applications were available only in pharmacies. However, now several cosmetic products are also available using coal tar. Products using coal tar helps to delay the growth of skin cells and improves the appearance of skin, thereby increasing demand for coal tar from the healthcare industry.”
