Asia-Pacific Xylenes Market Is Expected to Reach $83.2 Billion by 2018 - New Report by MicroMarket Monitor
(PRWEB) June 29, 2014 -- The global demand for Xylene has been growing sharply over the last decade. Much of the increase in demand for Xylene came from the Asia Pacific region, and the same trend is expected to continue in the near future.
Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon widely used in industrial and medical technology as a solvent. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling liquid or gas occurring naturally in petroleum, coal and wood tar. Xylene characteristics can be described as aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, mixture of three different isomers i.e., meta-xylene, ortho-xylene, para-xylene. It is widely used as a solvent in the leather, rubber, and printing industries. Other various applications of xylene include chemical intermediates, and high-motor and aviation gasoline blending agents, breathing devices (inhalers).
The Asia Pacific region is emerging as the textile industry hub of the world. The advantage of low costs because of cheap labor is aiding the growth of textile industry in this region. There has been a continuous shift in the manufacturing industry from the developed regions of the world like North America and Western Europe, to take advantage of the low-cost facilities available in Asia Pacific. As a result, the demand is continuously increasing in the Asia Pacific region; with the Chinese economy leading, followed by India and South Korea. Much of the Xylene produced is used to make Pure Terephthalic Acid (PTA), which is further used in polyester production. This trend of increased consumption from the Asia Pacific countries is expected to continue in future. And as a result polyester fiber market in Asia Pacific will the global demand in the coming years.
