Global Nitrobenzene Market by Application (Aniline and Others), by Geography - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

The global nitrobenzene market, along with its end products, has witnessed significant growth in recent years and this growth is estimated to increase in the coming years. Nitrobenzene is an organic compound produced mainly from benzene. Nitrobenzene is used to manufacture aniline, which is a chemical used in the manufacture of Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI). Nitrobenzene is also used to manufacture lubricating oils and in the manufacture of drugs, dyes, synthetic rubber, and pesticides. Nitrobenzene is a flammable, pale yellow, liquid aromatic compound that melts at 5.85°C and boils at 210.9°C. It is marginally soluble in water and is highly soluble in benzene ethanol and ether. It is sometimes called the ‘oil of mirbane’ or nitrobenzol.

The nitrobenzene market is experiencing significant growth and the trend is expected to continue in the coming years, mainly driven by the high-growth regions such as Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe and North America. A large amount of investments have been made by the key market players to serve the application industries of the nitrobenzene market. The Asia-Pacific is the largest contributor to the global nitrobenzene market, having accounted for 40.0% share of the global market in 2014.

Nearly 98.0% of the total nitrobenzene produced was used for manufacturing aniline in 2014, due to the high demand for the latter from end-user industries. The main drivers of the market include the increasing demand for MDI and the dynamic growth in the construction industry worldwide.

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound produced mainly from benzene. Nitrobenzene is used to manufacture aniline, which is a chemical used in the manufacture of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). Nitrobenzene is also used to manufacture lubricating oils and in the manufacture of drugs, dyes, synthetic rubber, and pesticides. Nitrobenzene is a flammable, pale yellow, liquid aromatic compound that melts at 5.85°C and boils at 210.9°C. It is marginally soluble in water and is highly soluble in benzene ethanol and ether. It is sometimes called the ‘oil of mirbane’ or nitrobenzol.
