Dublin, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Isobutyl Benzene Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
India Isobutyl Benzene Market achieved a total market volume of 6.91 thousand Metric Tonnes in 2024 and is poised for strong growth in the forecast period, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.35% through 2030.
The burgeoning industrial base in India, coupled with the rising demand for specialty chemicals, has propelled notable growth in the Indian isobutyl benzene market. This growth is particularly driven by its vital function as a primary raw material in antioxidant manufacturing, notably for applications in plastics and rubber industries. With the expansion of India's manufacturing sectors, the demand for isobutyl benzene has surged, underscoring its essential role in industrial processes. 
Isobutyl benzene is instrumental in producing specialty chemicals like agrochemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, further bolstering market expansion. As the specialty chemicals sector continues to grow, so does the need for isobutyl benzene, highlighting its versatility and significance across diverse industrial domains. In the cosmetic and personal care industry, isobutyl benzene is indispensable for fragrance and perfume production. The sector's expansion, driven by heightened consumer demand, is expected to sustain the growth trajectory of isobutyl benzene usage.
Challenges associated with the safety risks posed by isobutyl benzene, particularly its flammability during transportation and handling, necessitate strict adherence to safety protocols. Moreover, environmental considerations, including emissions and waste disposal, underscore the importance of regulatory compliance and responsible practices in isobutyl benzene production and usage. To address these challenges, the industry is increasingly focusing on adopting green and sustainable practices in isobutyl benzene production. This includes exploring cleaner production methods and developing biodegradable antioxidants. These efforts align with emerging trends towards environmental consciousness and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Looking ahead, the Indian isobutyl benzene market is poised to sustain its positive trajectory, supported by the growth of manufacturing, specialty chemicals, and cosmetics sectors in India. The industry's adaptation to emerging trends, particularly in green production and biodegradable antioxidants, will further reinforce its significance in India's chemical and manufacturing landscape. Historically, the Indian market lacked substantial manufacturers for butyl phenols, including IBB. Previous attempts by several companies to produce these chemicals were hindered by constraints such as limited production scale and raw material supply issues, rendering their operations economically unviable.
This gap in the market presented an import substitution opportunity, whereas few players such as Vinati Organics has effectively capitalized on. Vinati Organics is investing in expanding its production capacity for that company has developed a new facility with a capacity of 39,000 MTPA for butyl phenols, which includes IBB. This project, with an investment of approximately Rs 1.5 billion, is expected to generate revenue potential of Rs 2.0 billion and commissioned in FY20E.
Vinati Organics stands as the world's leading manufacturer of Isobutyl Benzene (IBB) and Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid (ATBS), commanding a 65% global market share in these product categories. The company exports approximately 75% of its production and serves a diverse customer base of around 300 clients. Major global chemical manufacturers, including Dow Chemical, BASF, and Ecolab, are key clients, underscoring VOL's significant role in the global chemical supply chain.
