“Fostering PET, polyester fiber, and polyester film manufacturing is constantly creating investment opportunities for mixed xylene manufacturing companies, thereby pushing the revenue growth of mixed xylene landscape,” says a senior market research analyst at the company.
Chemicals, Petrochemicals, & Paints Record Notable Mixed Xylene Consumption
- Extensively used as a thinner, especially by inks and paints manufacturers, mixed xylene finds wide applicability across the chemicals industry as a base material for manufacturing.
- Mixed xylene is also widely consumed for elevating the octane rating of gasoline and other fuels with an objective to improve fuel and engine performance.
- Owing to voluminous paraxylene consumption, the chemicals industry remains a prime consumer of mixed xylene market over the coming years, according to the report.
- Other prominent end-use industries registering sizeable mixed xylene consumption include gasoline, paints & coatings, pesticides, rubber, leather, and printing.
- The report covers a range of end-use industries and sectors recording variable mixed xylene consumption patterns as per the applications associated with them.
- Consumption of mixed xylene as a raw material contributes the maximum revenue share compared to all other application areas.
The analysis of mixed xylene landscape based on grade reveals that the isomer-grade variant continues to dominate in terms of both revenue and consumption volume, accounting for over 80% value share in mixed xylene market. However, yearly revenue growth of solvent grade mixed xylene is projected to observe a decline post 2020, according to the report.
Flourishing Polyester Production Upholds Chinese Market
- The global hub for production as well as consumption of mixed xylene, China is projected to remain the high growth-high value regional market for mixed xylene over the coming years.
- With around a fourth of the global market value, China continues to dominate other regional markets competing in the mixed xylene landscape.
- Bolstering polyester production across Chinese industries is identified to be primarily responsible for swelling mixed xylene consumption across the region, as indicated by the report.
- Besides being a major polyester products export hub, the Chinese market also boasts of an established and productive distribution network, which is another strong factor pushing the growth of mixed xylene market in China.
- The report indicates that the towering consumption of aromatic hydrocarbons across industries would further create a heap of untapped opportunities in China, over coming years.
The FMI analyst says, “Following China, the report also positions Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) as a highly lucrative regional territory, creating attractive untapped applications areas for manufacturers”.
Production Expansion Rules Strategic Minds of Manufacturers
