The ethylbenzene market size is expected to be valued at USD 23,053.6 million in 2024. Ethylbenzene has a storied history of usage in the petrochemical sector. As the oil and gas industry continues to spin its wheels, the demand for ethylbenzene is summarized to keep moving forward with momentum.
The market is set to register a CAGR of 3.5% over the period from 2024 to 2034. Ethylbenzene is majorly used in the production of styrene, a crucial material in the plastic material polystyrene. As demand for lightweight plastic materials like polystyrene keeps climbing, the application of ethylbenzene increases too.
By 2034, the market is set to acquire a valuation of USD 32,508 million. Aside from its famous use in petrochemical and packaging industries, there are other uses that are set to add considerable value to the market. The application of the compound in pesticides is suggested to spray the market with opportunities. Similarly, the use of ethylbenzene in paint is seeing the image of the market strengthen.
There are however factors that slow down the growth of the market. Exposure to ethylbenzene has been linked to various health problems, such as throat irritation and dizziness. The impact of the compound in advancing pollution, through air and water, is also looked down upon.
“Ethylbenzene faces a future marked with uncertainty. However, plenty of opportunities persist in the market. Making the production process of the organic compound more refined is suggested to be the way forward for market players,” says an analyst at FMI.
