The global xylene market size will grow from $202.06 billion in 2022 to $210.66 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global xylene market size is expected to grow from $246.43 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.0%. The increasing demand for paraxylene across the globe contributes to the growth of the xylene market. Paraxylene is one of the isomers of xylene and is essential in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is used in industries such as beverage packaging, consumer goods, sheets & films, food packaging, automotive, and construction. The increase in the need for packaging materials has increased the demand for PET and hence contributed to the growth of the paraxylene market. To meet the increasing demand for paraxylene, new production plants have been set up. For instance, according to Jinlianchuang, a Chinese provider of comprehensive digital and intelligent services for bulk commodities, in 2022, China is expected to have 6 sets of paraxylene units in operation with a production capacity of 11.89 million tons/year with a 41.3% increase. The increase of production capacity will support the increasing demand for paraxylene. The growing demand for paraxylene thereby drives the xylene market. Stringent safety regulations associated with the manufacture and transportation of xylene were a major restraint on the market. Xylene is highly inflammable, toxic, and hazardous when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures. Companies in this market should invest in equipment, technologies, and processes to limit the toxic levels and chemical concentrations as they may harm the environment and population. Humans die when exposed to xylene in concentrations greater than 10,000 ppm (per million parts per million). To provide a safe environment, government agencies put restrictions on the amount of xylene that can be released into the environment. For instance, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the maximum permissible level of xylene in workplace air at 100 ppm during an 8-hour workday and 40-hour week, thus restricting the growth of the market. The manufacturers in the xylene market are focusing on increasing their production capacity. The major players in the xylene market are investing in expanding the capacities of their existing plants and setting up new plants. For instance, in February 2022, Origin Materials, a US-based chemicals company launched its second plant in Geismar, Louisiana to make polyethylene terephthalate precursor p-xylene. In addition, in 2022, Iran will start the construction of a new 300,000 b/d refinery Shahid Soleimani which is expected to produce propylene, ethylene and paraxylene along with gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and fuel oil. The project will be completed in next 5 years.
