Global Paraxylene Market to expand at CAGR of 7.0% during 2016–2024 The global paraxylene market features an increasingly fragmented landscape on account of the leading companies accounting for a scant market share, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR). The top three players—BP plc., S-Oil Corporation, and Reliance Industries Limited, held a share of just 12% in the global market in 2015. TMR notes that a large part, estimated at around 85%, of the global production of paraxylene is contributed by small firms and subsidiaries of large chemical manufacturers. A growing number of manufacturers are focusing on forward integration moving down the supply chain which is most likely to up the level of competition in the market, observes TMR. The global paraxylene market stood at US$33.03 billion in 2015 and is projected to reap an opportunity worth US$60.04 billion by the end of 2024. During the forecast period of 2016–2024, the global market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.0%. The various applications of paraxylene are in the manufacturing of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), solvents, pesticides, and coatings. Of all the segments, the purified terephthalic acid segment dominated in 2015 accounting for a share upward of 97%. The application is expected to churn out vast lucrative prospects throughout the forecast period, on account of its uptake in the PET industry.
