Global Cumene Market is valued approximately USD XX million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX % over the forecast period 2022-2028. Cumene also known as isopropylbenzene is an organic compound. It is colorless, volatile liquid and have gasoline-like odor. Cumene is obtained through benzene and propylene using either solid phosphoric acid or anhydrous aluminum chloride or zeolite as catalyst. Cumene is utilized in manufacturing of different such as phenol, acetone, acetophenone, and methyl styrene. It is used as a thinner in paints, lacquers, and enamels. Cumene is also used in the manufacturing of rubber, iron and steel, and pulp and paper. The growing paints and coatings industry and increasing demand for phenol from the plastic sector as well as recent expansion activities are factors that are accelerating the global market demand. For instance, according to Statista - In 2020, the global market for paint and coatings was estimated at USD 107 billion, and this amount is projected to reach to USD 200 billion by end of 2028. Furthermore, in September 2021, US based Lummus Technology LLC received plant acceptance from Formosa Chemicals and Fibre Corp. for its new cumene and phenol plant expansion in Ningbo, China. The company would expand its existing cumene (450 kMTA) and phenol (300 kMTA) capacity to 600 kMTA and 400 kMTA respectively. Also, growing construction and automotive sector and rising industrialization in emerging economies are anticipated to act as a catalyzing factor for the market demand during the forecast period. However, health risks associated with extended exposure of Cumene, and volatile cost of raw materials impede the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2022-2028.
