Market Drivers:

Petrochemical Industry Demand: Benzene is a key raw material in the petrochemical industry, where it is used as a building block for the production of various chemicals and plastics. It is a critical component in the manufacturing of products such as styrene, nylon, resins, synthetic fibers, rubber, and dyes. The demand for benzene is closely linked to the growth and demand within the petrochemical industry.

Automotive and Construction Sectors: Benzene finds applications in the automotive industry for the production of various rubber and plastic components, including tires, gaskets, hoses, and insulation materials. It is also used in the construction industry for the manufacturing of paints, coatings, adhesives, and insulation materials. The growth of these industries drives the demand for benzene.

Expansion of the Consumer Electronics Market: Benzene is utilized in the production of electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions. It is used in the manufacturing of plastics, resins, and foams that are key components of these electronic devices. The increasing demand for consumer electronics worldwide contributes to the demand for benzene.

Growing Demand for Styrene: Styrene, a derivative of benzene, is used in the production of polystyrene, which has a wide range of applications in packaging, insulation, construction, and consumer products. The increasing demand for styrene and polystyrene drives the demand for benzene, as it is a primary feedstock for the production of styrene.

Economic Growth and Industrial Development: Economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization are key factors driving the demand for benzene. As economies develop, there is an increased demand for consumer goods, automobiles, construction materials, and industrial products, all of which utilize benzene as a key raw material. Economic growth and industrial development contribute to the growth of the benzene market.

Shift Towards Bio-based Alternatives: The growing focus on sustainability and environmental concerns has led to a shift towards bio-based alternatives to benzene. However, the impact of this factor on the benzene market is dependent on regional regulations and the availability and viability of bio-based substitutes. The market demand for benzene can be influenced by the adoption of bio-based alternatives.

Regulatory Factors: Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is subject to regulations related to its emissions and handling. Regulatory frameworks, such as restrictions on VOC emissions and occupational exposure limits, impact the production, storage, and use of benzene. Compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence to safety standards influence the benzene market dynamics.

Geopolitical Factors and Supply Chain Considerations: Geopolitical factors, such as political instability, trade policies, and supply chain disruptions, can impact the availability and pricing of benzene. Benzene is predominantly produced from crude oil or as a byproduct of petroleum refining and chemical processes. Changes in global crude oil prices and supply dynamics can affect the benzene market.

Market Insights:

The global benzene market is segmented into derivatives, applications, and geography. On the basis of derivatives, the market is classified into ethylbenzene, cumene, alkylbenzene, aniline, and others. The ethylbenzene segment held the largest market share in 2020 and projected to grow at the same trend. The segment growth is attributed to the increasing demand for styrene which is used in various products such as latexes, styrene-butadiene elastomer, polystyrene, etc. Furthermore, with the increasing demand from MEA and Asia Pacific due to the rising demand for rubber tires, the demand for styrene is continuously growing.

By application, the benzene market is bifurcated into solvents, chemical intermediates, surfactants, plastics, and others. The solvent segment dominated the market in 2020 and accounted to hold a major market share of around 24% of market in terms of revenue. Furthermore, the chemical intermediates segment is accounted to hold the second-largest market share globally. By region, the Asia Pacific dominated the market and expected to keep its dominance over the forecast period. The regional growth is attributed to the increasing use of benzene in various end-use industries such as oil & gas, construction, and polymer industry.
