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.
