Summary

The global n-Hexane demand stood at approximately 1300 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.24% during the forecast period until 2032.

n-hexane is a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon that can be synthesized using both natural gas and crude oil using the fractional distillation process. By using specific catalysts, it can also be produced from sugar cane waste. For a variety of seed crops, including soybeans, cottonseed, rape seed, mustard seed, peanuts, flax (linseed), safflower seed, and corn germ, n-hexane is primarily utilized as an edible-oil extractant. These seed crops are further processed into foods for humans and animals. Other significant applications for n-Hexane as a special-purpose solvent and cleaning agent (degreaser) include the production of textiles, footwear, leather, and furniture. n-hexane may be present in a variety of glues, adhesives, and leather-dressing preparations, particularly those used in the manufacturing of shoes. In addition, the pharmaceutical sector is one of the biggest consumers of n-hexane due to its use in numerous syntheses and separations, as well as the shape of pills and tablets.


During the course of the projection period, n-high Hexane's demand from the food industry is anticipated to fuel market expansion. Because it provides excellent yield from a variety of seeds, n-hexane is frequently employed as an extraction agent for edible oils. This is anticipated to result in significant demand from the food industry for n-Hexane. Furthermore, the application of n-Hexane for manufacturing adhesives and sealants which have applications in various industries also contributes to the n-Hexane market expansion. The size of the global n-Hexane market in terms of volume is estimated to reach nearly 1800 thousand tonnes by 2032.

Based on region, Asia Pacific is dominating the global n-Hexane market, followed by Europe. In 2022, Asia Pacific held a market share of more than 50% of the global n-Hexane. Accelerating demand for refined oil for cooking purposes in developing countries like India and China is majorly contributing to the n-Hexane market. In terms of production, the Asia Pacific region is again dominating the global n-Hexane market.

Based on the end-user industry, the global n-Hexane market is segmented into Edible Oil Extractant, Adhesives & Sealants, Paints & Coatings, Industrial Solvent, and Others. Among these, the Edible Oil Extractant sector is in the lead and held approximately 45% of the market share in 2022. Additionally, the Adhesives & Sealants sector is also a prominent consumer of the n-Hexane market.

Major players in the production of Global n-Hexane are KazmunayGas International, ExxonMobil Chemical, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited, Jun Yuan Petroleum Group, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, and Others.
