Benzene, toluene and xylene, commonly referred to as BTX, are aromatic hydrocarbons obtained during crude oil refining and gasoline production processes. BTX finds wide applications in various end-use industries including petroleum, polymers, coatings and pharmaceuticals. Within the petroleum industry, BTX is a critical component in gasoline blending to increase octane rating. It is also used as feedstock for various petrochemicals and polymers manufacturing. The global benzene toluene xylene market is highly dependent on crude oil refining activities and demand trends of end-use industries.

The global Benzene Toluene Xylene Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 6.99 Bn or Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 35% over the forecast period 2023 To 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:


The growing petroleum refining industry is one of the key drivers for benzene toluene xylene market. As per recent data, global crude oil refining capacity is projected to increase by over 13% and reach 115 million barrels per day by 2030. This is expected to significantly boost BTX production globally during the forecast period. Further, expansion of polymers and coatings industry also contributes to the demand for benzene, toluene and xylene. Growth in automotive and construction sector drives coatings consumption while rising demand for plastics propels polymers industry growth. Both these end-use industries are major consumers of BTX.
