Market Analysis

Xylenol Market Overview:

Xylenol, also referred to as ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene, is a chemical compound mainly utilized as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals and products. Moreover, over the years, the product is gaining vast acceptance in the pharmaceutical sector in various applications such as antiseptics, disinfectants, and preservatives, which is also boosting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the escalating demand of xylenol in the production of agrochemicals & pesticides that are used as intermediate for the synthesis of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides are also propelling the demand of the global market. For instance, Sasol Performance Chemicals Division signed an exclusive agreement with U.S.-based specialty chemicals distribution company, Lintech International LLC for the distribution of inks, paints, and coatings. This strategy will aid Sasol in strategically aligning its resources to serve its target markets better, enhance the company's sales, and strengthen its presence in the U.S. xylenol segment.

Xylenol Market Trends:

Increasing Utilization in Solvent Applications

The increasing utilization of xylenol as a solvent for rubber, leather, paints, and printing industries is augmenting the market growth. In addition to this, the widespread product adoption as a chemical intermediate and blending agent for high-motor and aviation fuels and breathing devices (inhalers) is further stimulating the market expansion. Moreover, the rising popularity of this compound as a good cleaning agent for silicon wafers and steel and as a feedstock in the production of petrol, gasoline, and jet fuel, is positively influencing the demand for xylenol. For instance, according to the American Coatings Association, the paint and coatings industry in the United States produced around 1.36 billion gallons and the output is expected to exceed 1.38 billion gallons. Furthermore, according to the American Coatings Association, architectural coatings accounted for 51% of the paint and coatings market value in the United States, while OEM and special purpose coatings held 29 and 20% of the market, respectively.

Growing Need from the Petrochemical Industry

Xylenol is an important intermediate in the production of various petrochemicals. It can be subject to different chemical reactions for the manufacture of other composites, such as the xylenol isomers with subsequent use for the production of important petrochemical composites. This is spurring the global market in turn. Additionally, xylenol can polymerize to provide polymers having several physical and chemical characteristics. They are common in petrochemical processes for producing resins, adhesives, and coatings. For example, INEOS and SINOPEC formed a joint venture to construct a new petrochemicals complex in Tianjin, China. The agreements will have a combined capacity of 7 million tons per year, with a total value of roughly US$ 10 Billion. Apart from this, China is a significant producer of PET resins, with the PetroChina Group and Jiangsu Sangfangxiang among the most prominent global manufacturers in terms of volume, with more than 2 million ton capacity. Furthermore, DuPont decided to invest approximately US$ 30 Million in constructing a new manufacturing facility in the adhesive sector in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, in East China.
