Xylene Market

Xylene, alternatively called dimethyl benzene, is a colourless and aromatic hydrocarbon which is widely used as a solvent. It is one of the highest-volume chemicals that is manufactured and utilised by industries. It is produced from the process of coke fuel manufacturing via coal carbonization and catalytic reforming. Some of its common applications include its use in products like paint thinners, ink, varnish, degreasers, and insecticides. The chemical is naturally found in wood tar, coal, and petroleum and is widely used in the manufacturing of dyes and fibres.

Global Supply/Demand Outlook

The global xylene market stood at a volume of around 55,700 KT in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.10% between 2024 and 2032 to reach a volume of about 79,659.9 KT by 2032. The key factors propelling the xylene market are the diverse applications of the product and its growing demand from various end use industries. Xylene's effectiveness as a solvent is crucial for achieving desired performance characteristics in coatings, enhancing its demand in the surface coatings industry. Meanwhile, it is vital for producing various plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is widely used in the packaging sector, and polyester fabrics.

However, the demand for xylene is primarily driven by its use as a solvent and a key component in various paint and coating formulations. As xylene is miscible with several organic liquids, it is indispensable in paints, adhesives, and varnishes. The paint and coating sector thus represents the leading application of the product.

The global capacity of xylene was about 94,000 KT in the year 2023. It is estimated to reach 114,000 KT by 2032. The Asia Pacific holds the major share of xylene capacities, representing around 68% of the global production capacity. The plant capacity utilization of xylene stood at 60% in 2023.
