Press Release

Benzene Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.60% through 2030

Expansion of the Petrochemical and Refining Industry is expected to drive the Global Benzene Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Benzene Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Benzene Market achieved a total market volume of 50.56 Million Metric Tonnes in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 4.60% through 2030. The expansion of the global petrochemical and refining industries is a key driver behind the growth of the benzene market. As global demand for transportation fuels stabilizes due to factors such as the rise of electric vehicles, refineries are increasingly shifting their focus toward petrochemical production. This structural shift is resulting in a greater emphasis on feedstocks like naphtha and ethane, which are essential for producing aromatics such as benzene. Benzene, in turn, is a critical raw material used in the manufacture of various downstream products including ethylbenzene, cumene, phenol, styrene, and other derivatives that support a wide range of industries such as plastics, automotive, construction, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

Significant investments in integrated refinery-petrochemical complexes by major industry players such as ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Sinopec, BASF, and SABIC are enhancing benzene production capacity. These state-of-the-art facilities are designed to optimize yields of aromatics and improve operational efficiencies through advanced catalytic reforming, steam cracking, and transalkylation technologies. Asia-Pacific, in particular, continues to lead global benzene consumption due to robust industrial growth and expanding end-use sectors, while the Middle East is rapidly increasing its production capacity in line with long-term economic diversification strategies. The global benzene market is expected to witness steady growth, supported by rising demand from the petrochemical sector and a strong pipeline of capacity expansions.

Global Benzene Market is segmented into derivative, end user, regional distribution, and company.

Based on End User, automotive industry emerged as the fastest growing segment in the global market for Benzene in 2024. Benzene serves as a critical feedstock for producing synthetic rubber, plastics, resins, nylon, and other polymers, which are widely used in various automotive components such as tires, seat cushions, insulation materials, bumpers, and fuel system parts. As automakers continue to prioritize lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicle designs, the demand for high-performance, durable, and lightweight materials derived from benzene has significantly increased.

The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid technologies is creating new opportunities for benzene-based materials, especially in battery casings, interior components, and thermal insulation systems. Regulatory pressures for emission reductions and enhanced fuel economy have also pushed manufacturers to adopt advanced materials, many of which rely on benzene derivatives. The global expansion of automotive production, especially in emerging markets across Asia-Pacific and Latin America, further supports the sector’s growth. In addition, advancements in automotive design and material innovation continue to broaden the scope of benzene applications, solidifying the industry's role as a key growth driver in the benzene market.

Based on Region, the Asia Pacific emerged as the fastest growing region in the global market for Benzene in 2024. This is driven by a combination of strong industrial growth, expanding end-use sectors, and strategic investments in petrochemical infrastructure. Countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan play a pivotal role, supported by well-established production capabilities and increasing domestic consumption of benzene derivatives used in plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, and solvents. Rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a growing middle-class population are fueling demand across key industries including automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics. Furthermore, lower manufacturing costs, favorable government policies, and the presence of large-scale integrated petrochemical complexes enhance the region’s competitiveness. This combination of supply-side strength and demand-side expansion positions Asia-Pacific as the most dynamic and fastest-growing region in the global benzene market.

A unique development in the global benzene market is the rising influence of sustainability regulations on derivative production economics. As environmental policies tighten across Europe and parts of Asia, stricter emissions standards are indirectly affecting benzene's downstream value chain particularly in processes involving phenol, styrene, and nitrobenzene. Producers are now being forced to invest in cleaner technologies and shift toward low-emission feedstocks, raising the production cost of benzene-based materials. This regulatory pressure is creating market fragmentation: regions with relaxed standards maintain cost advantages, while others are exploring green benzene alternatives. This divergence is reshaping global trade patterns and competitive positioning”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
