The global Benzene market reached a value of about USD 68.30 billion in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 2.8% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a value of about USD 80.53 billion by 2027.
The global Benzene industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The rise in demand for styrene polymers from various end-user industries is a primary driver propelling the benzene market. In the industry report, the key demand indicator is the highest category spender by region—Asia.
The chemical compound benzene (also known as cyclohexatriene) has the molecular formula C6H6. It is a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon that is clear, colourless, extremely flammable, volatile, and gasoline-like odour. The substance may be found in crude oils and is produced as a byproduct of oil refining. Benzene is employed as a solvent, a chemical intermediate, and in synthesising a variety of compounds in industry. It is also present in cigarette smoke, automobile emissions, and gasoline fumes frequently employed in the chemical industry. The Benzene industry report comprises segments by application (Styrene, Cumene, Cyclohexane, Aniline) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America).
The Asia Pacific region dominates the market because of growing demands for end-users such as packaging, construction, home appliances, and electronics in India and China. In addition, the rising crude oil output, cheap feedstock costs, and low-cost commodity products are furthering market growth.
The industry is primarily being driven by its application in the production of styrene. The product is used widely in the manufacturing of many goods such as Polystyrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins, styrene-butadiene elastomers, latexes, computer equipment, disposable medical devices (such as test kits), consumer electronics, portable speakers, and cassette tape enclosures furthering the market growth. In addition to styrene, ethylbenzene is employed as a fuel solvent and an intermediary in other chemical processes. These applications will enhance ethylbenzene demand and development in the following years, furthering the benzene market.
However, the detrimental effects of benzene and its derivatives on the environment and human health are hindering the industry's expansion.

Catalytic reforming, toluene hydrodealkylation, and steam cracking are three chemical processes that contribute equally to industrial benzene synthesis. A mixture of hydrocarbons with boiling temperatures ranging from 60 to 200 °C is blended with hydrogen gas and then subjected to a bifunctional platinum chloride or rhenium chloride catalyst at 500-525 °C and pressures ranging from 8 to 50 atm in catalytic reforming. Aliphatic hydrocarbons develop rings and lose hydrogen under these circumstances, resulting in aromatic hydrocarbons. The scented products of the reaction are extracted from the mixture using a variety of solvents, such as diethylene glycol or sulfolane, and benzene is separated from the other aromatics using distillation. Toluene is converted to benzene by toluene hydrodealkylation. In this process, Toluene is combined with hydrogen and passed through a chromium, molybdenum, or platinum oxide catalyst at 500-600°C and 40-60 atm. Reaction yields often approach 95%.
Toluene is sometimes replaced by xylene or other more robust aromatics, which works well. Toluene disproportionation (TDP) may be an interesting option when a chemical complex has equivalent needs for both benzene and xylene. In general, two toluene molecules are reacted, with the methyl groups transferring from one to the other, generating one benzene molecule and one xylene molecule. Because demand for paraxylene (p-xylene) far outnumbers demand for different xylene isomers, a TDP refinement known as Selective TDP (STDP) may be applied. In this procedure, the xylene stream exiting the TDP unit is roughly 90% paraxylene. The method of steam cracking is used to make ethylene and other olefins from aliphatic hydrocarbons. Steam cracking can yield pyrolysis gasoline, a benzene-rich liquid byproduct, depending on the feedstock utilised to make the olefins. Pyrolysis gasoline can be combined with other hydrocarbons as a gasoline additive or distilled to separate its constituents, including benzene.
The industry is driven by the rising demand for polyester, low feedstock costs, and a cost-effective commodity product. In addition, increased demand for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, which is used to make polyurethane foams used in furniture and construction, has propelled the benzene market's expansion. Furthermore, the rising demand for Cumene to produce acetone, which has uses in the automotive and architectural sectors, further drives the industry forward. Benzene is also a solvent in various commercial, industrial, and research applications. Alkylbenzene, for example, is commonly used to make surfactants for detergent production. Another benzene derivative, cyclohexane, is a critical raw ingredient in creating nylon utilised in the textile industry. Another key growth-inducing element is the thriving paints and coatings industry (PCI), which uses benzene derivatives to produce paints and lacquers.
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East.
The ethylbenzenesegment takes up the most space in the market. Ethylbenzene is commercially generated from benzene and ethylene in industrial plants, and over 98 percent of synthetic ethylbenzene is utilised as a raw ingredient in styrene monomer manufacturing. Ethylbenzene is a component of the automobile, diesel, and aviation fuels that occurs naturally. Ethylbenzene is also found in crude petroleum streams. It is a significant component of mixed xylenes used as a solvent in spray paints, coatings, wood stains and varnishes, paint removers and thinners, agricultural and household insecticide sprays and dyes, rubber adhesives, rust preventatives, and household and automotive cleaners. The burgeoning construction and automotive industries are driving up demand for styrenic polymers, which is driving up demand for ethylbenzene. Similarly, the cumene manufacturing market is predicted to increase rapidly, owing to the rising demand for phenol and acetone.
