Global Cumene Market 2017: Driven by the Phenol & Acetone Markets - Research and Markets

The "Global Cumene Market - Segmented Into Application and Geography - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2017 - 2022)" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Cumene is also called isopropyl-benzene as it is produced from benzene and propylene. Cumene is an organic compound generally based on aromatic hydrocarbons with aliphatic substitution. It 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 around 98% of all cumene, globally. Hence, it is closely dependent on the phenol market. It can also be used as a blending component in the gasoline pool, specifically, to avoid benzene restrictions in gasoline.

The market is driven by the phenol and acetone market. The growing demand for phenol in various end-user industries such as plastics, composites, and laminates, acts as a market driver. Moreover, acetone production from cumene is also expected to drive the market, during the forecast period. However, environmental regulations associated with VAM is a constraint, especially, in the emerging economies. Further, the extended exposure of cumene causes harmful effects to human.

The global cumene market is segmented, on the basis of application, into phenol, acetone, paints & enamel, high-octane aviation fuels and others ( derivatives of phenol and acetone).
