Petrochemicals Industry Expected to Grow at CAGR of Over The Forecast Period
The economic value generated by the petrochemicals markets was estimated at approximately USD 556.1 billion in 2021. 

Petrochemicals Industry Data Book Covers Ethylene, Propylene, Butadiene, Benzene, Xylene, Toluene and Methanol Markets.

The economic value generated by the petrochemicals markets was estimated at approximately USD 556.1 billion in 2021. This economic output is an amalgamation of basic petrochemical products, namely, ethylene, propylene, butadiene, methanol and aromatics including benzene, toluene and xylene.

Grand View Research’s petrochemicals industry data book is a collection of market sizing information & forecasts, trade data, pricing intelligence, competitive benchmarking analyses, macro-environmental analyses, and regulatory & technological framework studies. Within the purview of the database, such information is systematically analyzed and provided in the form of outlook reports (1 detailed sectoral outlook report) and summary presentations on individual areas of research along with a statistics e-book.

Benzene Market Insights

The global benzene market size was estimated at USD 44.07 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% from 2022 to 2030.

The catalytic reforming segment dominated the market with a revenue share of around 49.32%. This is attributed to an increase in the usage of low octane straight run naphtha containing the naphthenes for the production of low-sulfur fuel used in gasoline and high-octane aromatic benzene. Additionally, catalytic reforming provides hydrogen which is further used for producing clean fuels by hydroprocessing units.

Methanol Market Insights

The global methanol market size was estimated at USD 31.81 billion in 2018 and is projected to accelerate at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2019 to 2025.

Formaldehyde dominated the application segment with 24.3% of the overall volume share in 2018. Formaldehyde resins are used on a large scale to manufacture interior molded components of vehicles to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. In the personal care segment, formaldehyde-releasing agents are used as preservatives to eliminate the growth of bacteria or pathogens.

Methanol is widely used for the esterification of acetic acid. The most common production process with regards to acetic acid includes the rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation process. This process involves the reaction of carbon monoxide and methanol. It also facilitates the production of methyl acetate, which is broadly utilized as a solvent forester, cellulose, and nitrates.

Methanol is considered as a feasible alternative to fossil fuel as it is cleaner and less expensive. This factor has led to its increasing consumption in emerging economies, most notably in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The countries in these regions principally import methanol for blending with non-renewable fossil fuel. Blending it to petrol increases vehicle acceleration and power and is known to reduce fuel costs.
