Global naphtha market size was 270.7 million tons in 2014 and is
anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2015 to 2022. Increasing global
demand for transportation fuel is expected to drive growth. Demand is also
being driven by its robust use for hydrocarbon cracking process in the
petrochemical industry.
Naphtha is an essential part of hydrocarbon
cracking process, which is conducted under extreme pressure and heat, as it
exhibits superior heat resistant properties. Various environmental regulations
and region dependent pricing also make the choice for usage of naphtha
materials in the production process.The global demand is estimated to be worth
USD 183.38 billion by 2022.
Chemical feedstock was the largest application of
naphtha accounting for 65% of the total market share in 2014 and is anticipated
to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period. Chemical feedstock is used
for steam cracking process which produces gasoline. Growing demand for gasoline
is expected to subsequently bolster demand. Lighter grades of the product are
used for petrochemical steaming process, which produces rubber, olefins,
polymers and aromatics.
