The global market for benzene, xylene, and toluene is expected to grow steadily for the next few years. The healthy growth of the toluene market can be dedicated primarily to certain factors like increasing demand for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints and for laboratory purposes to produce benzene. The global expansion of the xylene market is driven by the huge demand for polyester fibers in China, partly due to the shortage in production of cotton fibers.
The factors for the growth of the benzene market worldwide are the recovering demand of SBR and polycarbonates in automotive markets and the growing construction industry in developing countries. However, weakened carpet demand has been a hindrance to the xylene market. The major constraints faced by the toluene and benzene markets are government regulations which have been put in place to offset the risks that these markets pose to the environment and human health due to their toxic nature.
The global market for benzene, xylene and toluene seems to be highly fragmented with the U.S. in the driving seat.
