Cumene Market Analysis By Production (Zeolite, Solid Phosphoric Acid, Aluminum Chloride), By Application (Phenol, Acetone), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2014 – 2025 – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Cumene
Market Analysis By Production (Zeolite, Solid Phosphoric Acid, Aluminum
Chloride), By Application (Phenol, Acetone), By Region, And Segment
Forecasts, 2014 – 2025” report to their offering.

The global cumene market is expected to reach USD 28.2 billion by 2025

Rising demand for phenol from various key end use applications such as
construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and adhesives, coupled with
advancements in the production process of the chemical is expected to
drive market growth over the forecast period.

Cumene or isopropylbenzene is derived from the reaction between benzene
and propylene. It is produced by using catalysts such as zeolite,
aluminum chloride, and phosphoric acid. Isopropylbenzene is mainly used
for the production of acetone and phenol. The usage of aluminum chloride
and solid phosphoric acid as catalysts in the production process have
several disadvantages such as environmental hazard, catalyst
non-renewability and high corrosion. These factors have resulted in a
shift toward using zeolite as catalysts for production.

Phenol application segment dominated the global demand in 2016. Cumene
is mainly used for the production of various phenol derivatives, which
includes bisphenol A, caprolactam, and alkyl phenols. These byproducts
are used in end use industries such as household appliances, adhesives,
construction materials and electronic appliances. The global growth in
construction, packaging, electronics and pharmaceuticals industry is
expected to contribute a rise in demand for phenol byproducts thus
benefitting the overall cumene market growth over the forecast period.

Excessive exposure of cumene can cause adverse effects on human health
such as dizziness, headaches, and unconsciousness. It also causes
irritation of skin and eyes. Fluctuating oil & gas prices is a cause of
concern for cumene producers. However, major producers have integrated
themselves among the value chain to deal with price fluctuations.

Key industry participants include ExxonMobil, BASF SE, China Petroleum &
Chemical Corporation, Total S.A., Sinopec Group Ltd., Saudi Basic
Industries Corporation, and Dow Chemical Company
