  • The global cumene market is expected to witness a CAGR of approximately 4.8%, during the forecasted period. The major factor driving the market is the growing demand for phenol from plastics and composites applications.

    Rising Demand for Phenol

    Cumene is a flammable and colorless liquid and a constituent of refined fuels and crude oil. It is made primarily for phenol and acetone production, which consume more than 90% of all cumene. Therefore, cumene has a close dependency on phenol. The growing demand for phenol from plastics and composites segment has significantly increased the demand for cumene. Hence, this is one of the major driving factors for the market during the forecast period. However, the extended exposure of cumene causes harmful effects to human, which may hinder the market growth to a certain extent.

    Growing Demand for Polycarbonate

    Cumene is majorly required in the manufacturing of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate has been one of the booming markets with steady growth. PC resins are significantly consumed in automotive industry. Thus, with the consistent growth in the automotive industry, globally, the demand for PC is expected to increase and growth trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Therefore, with the growth of the polycarbonate market, the demand for cumene is expected to rise, during the forecast period.

    Asia-Pacific is the Dominating Region

    In terms of consumption in 2017, Asia-Pacific held the largest share. The demand for cumene in countries including China, India, and Indonesia are expected to rise at a great pace owing to the increasing demand for phenol and acetone, owing to growing automotive and construction industry in the abovementioned countries. However, the harmful effects of cumene on extended exposure may hamper the market growth to a certain extent in the region during the forecast period.
