O-Xylene Market Share, Growth by Top Company, Region & Forecasts by 2022


Xylenes are petrochemicals produced by catalytic reforming and coal carbonization process and are used for making coke fuel. Xylenes occur in original form in coal and wood tar. They are derived from various sources in are finery involving pyrolysis gasoline, toluene disproportion nation and reformate processes. Three types of xylenes exist which includes ortho-xylene, meta-xylene and para-xylene.

Ortho-xylene or O-Xylene is a commercial isomer of xylene and is a two-methyl substituent bond of hydrocarbon and bonded to the aromatic ring. The O-Xylene is used to produce vast amounts odpthalicanhydride (PAN) primarily in dio-octyl phthalate for PVC. PAN is primarily used to plasticizers largely used in automobile and construction industries. Ortho-xylene is also used in solvent- based paints. Ortho-xylene is derived from xylene stream from a plant meant for para-xylene production.



Ortho-Xylene is always found with its m- xylene and p-xylene. Alkylation of toluene is another source of ortho-xylene and ortho-xylene thus has wide application base in industries with its purity content of O-Xylene compound largely finding use in coating industry. The main growth factors for O-Xylene market are defined by growth in construction and automobile industry. Expansion in paints and adhesive market are expected to boost growth in O-Xylene markets.

The alternate drivers of growth for O-Xylene market is global colossal manufacturing scale of Xylene, a well-oiled supply framework and plenty of raw materials in manufacture of O-Xylene helping companies in manufacture of O-Xylene to record profound growth. Restraints to the O-Xylene market are harm created by acute inhalation of ortho-xylene that has immense danger foretold to eyes and damage to neurological system. A prolonged exposure to ortho-xylenes has sustained negative effects on central nervous system, cardio-vascular system and kidneys.

O-Xylene is vulnerable with oxidants causing fires and explosions to originate. Thus, Government has imposed strict orders to usage of ortho-xylene and market in near future and which is likely to hamper the market in near future. A weak market for ortho-xylene is anticipated in Xylene market with decline in prices of xylene in an unstable market for terepthalic acid and paraxylene sectors.

Asia pacific is expected to post prolific growth figures in O-Xylene Industry because of growth in chemical industry and brisk industrialization of chemical sector. Segmentation of Ortho-Xylene market by geographical region includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, MEA and Latin America. The key industrial players in the market include Creasy Finechem CO Ltd., Doe and Ingalls, DynaChem, Inc., Minda Petrochemicals Ltd., Shell Chemicals, and SonoccoChemcials.
