Cumene Market: Overview

Cumene, also known as isopropylbenzene, is a colorless liquid, volatile in nature, and gasoline-like odor. It is a flammable organic compound and boils at around 152ºC. The compound is a natural component of crude oil and coal tar. It is also used as a blending component in gasoline. Friedel-Crafts alkylation process is used to manufacture cumene commercially.

The growing population and their demand for these products are likely to propel the market growth during the review period. Furthermore, increasing building & construction activities in developing countries along with rising use of cumene based products is expected to drive the growth of the market. The growing automotive production and sales in emerging economies such as China, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan coupled with a high adoption rate of cumene as a component of high octane fuels are estimated to propel the market demand. The increasing growth of the plastics & composites industries is another major driving factor of the global cumene market.

Competetive Landscape:

Some of the prominent manufacturers in the global cumene market are Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (Netherlands), Exxon Mobil Corporation (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd (Japan), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Westlake Chemical Corporation (U.S.), Taiwan Cement Corp. (Taiwan), Braskem (Brazil), China Petrochemical Corporation (China), and SABIC (Saudi Arabia).

About 90% of cumene is used as a chemical intermediate to produce phenol, and the rest is used for acetone production. However, the market outlook majorly depends on the performance of phenol derivatives. The global cumene market is majorly driven by the use of phenol and its derivatives in various applications such as electrical & electronics, automotive, paints & coatings, cosmetics, and others. Furthermore, it is used as a solvent for paints, lacquers, and enamels, which find their uses in automotive and furniture.

However, the rising material cost and hazardous effect on human health of cumene may challenge the market growth. For instance, Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work. Nevertheless, the increasing growth for chemical manufacturing and their demand in various end-use industries such as automotive, infrastructure, and others may offer substantial opportunities and further fuel the market growth in coming years.
