Ethylbenzene market is experiencing huge growth and is expected to flourish even in the coming years, as it is majorly driven by growth in many regions and increasing demand of various chemicals manufactured by employing benzene as a feedstock. The report provides a comprehensive review of the key market drivers, challenges, and issues.
The North American ethylbenzene market was valued at $6,553.90 million in 2012, and is projected to reach $9,283.84 million by 2018, at a CAGR of 4.9%, for the given period. The market is mainly driven by investments in chemical and petrochemical projects due to recent boom of shale gas and oil slates in the U.S. and Canada.
North America is a diversified market for petrochemicals due to presence of numerous giants in the region. The North American chemical industry was profoundly affected by the economic crisis of 2008, but it underwent accelerating recovery, and will continue to do so even in the future.
Domestic demand for specialty and base chemicals is experiencing high growth due to increase in the number of domestic manufacturers, and the industry has undergone various recent expansions to expand its export market. The future growth of the industry would be augmented by the investments in chemical and petrochemical projects due to recent boom of shale gas and oil slates in the U.S. and Canada. Around $1,500.0 billion will be invested in new manufacturing projects which include energy, chemicals, automotive, etc. Due to emergence of shale gas, lighter feedstock is available to chemical and petrochemical industries in North America; the region is expected to be favoured for petrochemical assets in the near prospect.
It is estimated that North America consumed about 5,267.38 KT of ethylbenzene in 2012, and this demand is projected to reach 6,202.52 KT by 2018, at an expected CAGR of about 2.8%, for the given period. The U.S. was the biggest consumer of ethylbenzene in the region with an estimated consumption of about 4,374.58 KT in 2012, and it is expected to reach a CAGR of about 2.6% during the forecast period. Subsequently,
U.S. was a net importer of ethylbenzene with a net import of about 20.0 KT in 2012, whereas Canada was a major net exporter, with a net export volume of about 20.0 KT of ethylbenzene in the same year.
