H1 2023: The prominent producers of Mixed Xylene in H1 2023 were China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Reliance Industries Limited, and Hengli Petrochemical refinery. Based on production capacity, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) was leading in the Mixed Xylene producers. Geographically, Asia Pacific region was the largest consumers of Mixed Xylene. However, in January 2023, mixed xylene prices fell in the Chinese market, supported by weak buying demand from end user industries. In addition, ample of supply in the Chinese market further supported in cheap mixed xylene prices. In addition, the cost pressure by the toluene raw material was low, resulting in low production costs of mixed xylene in the Chinese market. However, in mid-February 2023, mixed xylene prices increased due to improvement in the buying segment in the Chinese market. Demand from the downstream end-user industries like Isomers was heightened. In the US market, Mixed xylene prices showed an unpredictable trend in H1 2023. In January, mixed xylene prices were low owing to the sluggish consumption by downstream industries chain (o-xylene, p-xylene and m-xylene). The low production costs of mixed xylene due to cheap prices of raw material was another cause of low mixed xylene prices in the US. Although in February, mixed xylene prices rose, supported by improved consumption across sectors in the value chain. However, in March 2023 mixed xylene prices fell in the US. Exxon Mobil Corp., one of the leading mixed xylene producers, had their site shut down at Jurong Island, Singapore, for a short span of 30 days.
The global Mixed Xylene market has expanded to reach approximately 46 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 6.23% during the forecast period until 2035. Mixed Xylene is used as a solvent in manufacturing adhesives, agricultural sprays, pesticides, paints & coatings, and leather chemicals.
Mixed Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon manufactured by catalytic reforming of petroleum. It is a mixture of all three types of isomers of Xylene (para, ortho, and meta) and a small amount of ethyl benzene. Mixed Xylene helps in reducing the rate of drying and thus is used in many formulations. It can be a perfect replacement for toluene, where a falling drying rate is required. It is one of the most widely used solvents in manufacturing units like leather, rubber & printing. Mixed Xylene is used in bulk to produce leather chemicals like allied and topcoats. The topcoat sector uses the maximum amount of Mixed Xylene as a solvent compared to other divisions in the leather chemical industry because this chemical provides better shelf life to the finished product by reducing the drying rate.
The primary market driving factor of Mixed Xylene is the Isomers industry. Moreover, Mixed Xylene helps provide better antiknock property to fuel and thus is used in gasoline blending. Therefore, its application in Gasoline blending also contributes significantly to the growth in demand of Mixed Xylene. Additionally, in the forecast period Solvent industry is anticipated to play a significant role in the growth of Mixed Xylene owing to construction and industrialization on a global level. The global Mixed Xylene market will most likely reach 101 million tonnes by 2035.
Based on demand by region, the Asia Pacific region is dominating the Mixed Xylene market. In 2022, this region accounted for consumption of approximately 77% of the gross market. APAC is anticipated to retain this position owing to the demand for solvents for producing paints, varnishes, and pigments, with future industrial projects. Moreover, China is the leading manufacturer of Mixed Xylene. According to the overall export data analysis, China is found to be the leading exporter of Mixed Xylene.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Mixed Xylene market is segregated into Isomers, Gasoline blending, Solvents, and Others. Mixed Xylene is primarily consumed in the Isomers industry, accounting for 88% of global consumption in 2022. The isomers industry is followed by end uses such as Gas blending and Solvents. The primary use of Mixed Xylene is to serve as a raw material to produce para-, ortho-, and meta-xylene isomers.
Major players in the production of Global Mixed Xylene are China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Reliance Industries Limited, Exxon Mobil Corp., SK Global Chemical, Hanwha TotalEnergies Petrochemical, China National Petroleum Corporation, China's Fuhaichuang Petroleum and Petrochemical, Sumitomo Chemical Co.,Ltd & Saudi Aramco, Hengli Petrochemical refinery, Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co Ltd, Hyundai Cosmo Petrochemical (JV of Hundai Oilbank & Cosmo Oil.), and Ningbo Zhongjin PetroChemical Co, Ltd.
