London, UK (PRWEB) September 26, 2012

Following the global financial crisis, the demand for benzene has grown faster than capacity additions, resulting in some degree of stability in the market. Thus, some of the benzene projects discontinued due to the recession are currently being restarted, especially those in China and the emerging world. Though, for some refineries, the future for benzene production remains bleak. As benzene is produced mainly as a by-product, the supply of benzene is fuelled mostly by the fate of gasoline, ethylene and paraxylene, than by the profitability or demand for benzene.

Forecasts say the global demand for benzene will grow at an AAGR of just over 3% during the next five years. Ethylbenzene/styrene, cumene/phenol and cyclohexane will continue to consume over 80% of the benzene produced in years to come.

Insightful review of the benzene market and its future development is presented in the market research report “Benzene: 2012 World Market Outlook and Forecast up to 2017”.

The study gives a true insight into the national, regional and global markets for benzene. The report limelights the market’s present standing, historical background and future landscape.
