NEW YORK, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
"The high-growth application areas such as packaging, construction, and automotive is driving the consumption of petrochemicals market"
The top 15 petrochemicals market report is divided into three sub parts, basic petrochemicals, basic intermediate chemicals, and basic polymers. The basic petrochemicals market is projected to grow from 250.3 million tons in 2016 to 310.3 million tons by 2021, at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2016 to 2021. Rise in demand of commodity plastics in emerging economies of Southeast Asia and the Middle East fuels the market growth. Also, the growth in end-use industries such as automotive, packaging, electronics & electricals globally is driving the petrochemicals market.
"Xylenes is projected to be the fastest-growing basic petrochemical"
Xylenes is a colorless liquid and most important petrochemical. It is used as an intermediate to manufacture polyester (via polytetraphaltic acid (PTA) and DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). The xylenes market is projected to grow at a CAGR 6% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the rise in demand for polyester fiber (fibers, fabrics and floor coverings) & polyester resins for beverage containers. Exxon Mobil is the largest producer of xylenes in the world having operations in North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia. JX Nippon (Japan), Reliance Industries (India), and BP (U.K.), and LyondellBasell (Switzerland) are some of the other major players in the xylenes market, globally. The demand for para xylene is expected to rise in the U.S. because of commencement of new derivative plant by Mossi and Ghisolfi (M&G), in Texas. The plant will have a capacity of 1.3m ton/year PTA and 1.1m ton/year PET.
"Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market for petrochemicals"
