H1 2023: In H1 2023, n-heptane prices continuously declined in China due to sluggish demand from the downstream pharmaceutical sector, where n-heptane is actively used as an inert solvent for purification and recrystallization. The market remained stable, with a moderate overall supply and surplus market inventories in China. Although there was minimal demand, the supply was steady, with more than enough supply in China to meet the demand of downstream industries. Due to low crude oil costs as well as decreased demand by the end-user industries, the price of n-Heptane declined abruptly in February 2023 in China. The prices remained almost stable from April 2023 to June 2023 in China with mediocre demand from the downstream industries. A similar market behavior was observed in the US market in H1 2023. Due to weak demand and abundant supply in the first half of 2023, the n-Heptane market in the USA was hazy, which led to low n-Heptane prices. Additionally, low freight charges and an abundance of supply were the causes of the decreased trading activity in the US. Due to slow market offtakes, cheap exports, and hazy demand for n-Heptane in the downstream solvent market led to the declined prices of n-Heptane in America in H1 2023.
The global n-Heptane market has reached around 180 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.10% during the forecast period until 2035. Currently, China is the largest producer of n-Heptane.
n-Heptane is a currently used extensively in industries as a non-polar solvent. n-Heptane is widely used in dissolving paints, oil, and greases, for thinning pigment, glues, epoxy resins, paints, coatings, cleaning automobile parts and electronics. Along with this, n-Heptane is used for extraction of fats, in quick drying rubber glue and as a solvent for coating, cleaning, printing, etc. n-Heptane is widely used as a solvent in multiple industries such as in pharmaceutical industry, paints & coatings, rubber & chemical fiber synthesis, and more. Moreover, for testing anti-knock engines, n-Heptane is employed as a component of the test fuel.
In the future, the global n-Heptane market is expected to increase in the forecast period applications as solvents, in medicines, electronics, etc. Dyes and paints, which are included in these segments, employ n-heptane extensively as a solvent and a thinner in the paints and coatings industry. Due to rising demand from important end-use sectors including the automotive and transportation industries, the paints and coatings industry is expected to expand significantly. Due to these reasons, the global demand of n-Heptane is anticipated to reach around 300 thousand tonnes by 2035.
On a global level, the demand from Solvent industry pushes the production of n-Heptane due to its soluble properties. The dominating region that demands the most significant volume in Asia Pacific Region. Developing countries expanding automotive, plastics and polymer, adhesive and sealant, and other industries are projected to broaden the use of n-heptane there.
Based on the end-user industry, the n-Heptane market is segmented into sectors like Solvent, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics, and others. However, Solvent is the biggest end-use application of n-Heptane, holding a share of approximately 55% in 2022. The second notable share is held by pharmaceutical industry.
Significant companies for Global n-Heptane are Hanwha Total Petrochemical, Chuzhou Runda Solvents Co., Ltd, Henan ZT League Chemical Co., Ltd., Liaoning Yufeng Chemical Co., Ltd, KH Chemicals BV, Shell Chemicals, Chevron Philips Chemical, Phillips 66, Haltermann Carless, TOA Oil Co.Ltd, SK Global Chemical, and others.
