Naphthalene Derivatives Market Analysis by Share, Growth, Trends, Overview, Demand & Size

Global?naphthalene derivatives market?is projected to surpass USD21.97 billion by the end of 2027, exhibiting robust growth at a CAGR of 6.18%, in value terms, during 2023-2027. The growth in the global naphthalene derivatives market can be attributed to the surging industrial as well as commercial applications in umpteen end-user industries. The low volatility and odor features of naphthalene derivatives are widely escalating the demand for defense & military grade naphthalene derivatives. In addition to this, rising application of naphthalene derivatives in a variety of finishes such as high gloss, matte/satin, textured, suede is promulgating applications of naphthalene derivatives in the medical products, toys, etc. Increasing consumption of construction chemicals in developing countries and growing use of naphthalene derivatives across various end-user industries such as construction, agrochemicals, textiles, oil & gas, pulp & paper, etc. Growing modernization and urbanization practices are encouraging customers to opt for a variety of textiles, which is creating a greater demand for naphthalene derivatives. Moreover, increasing production facilities and rising standard of living are contributing to the growth of global naphthalene market in the coming years. Growing utilization of super plasticizers in concrete admixtures is also stimulating the demand for naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates, which in turn, is propelling the market growth.

The global naphthalene derivatives market is segmented on the basis of form, type, end-user industry, region, and company. Based on type, the market is further divided into?liquid naphthalene derivatives and powdered naphthalene derivatives. The powdered naphthalene derivatives segment is expected to register the highest growth in the global naphthalene derivatives market. Powdered naphthalene derivatives are widely used in textile industry and for construction activities since they are easy to use and carry at room temperature.

TechSci Research performed both primary as well as exhaustive secondary research for this study. Initially, TechSci Research sourced a list of leading Naphthalene Derivatives manufacturers across the globe. Subsequently, TechSci Research conducted primary research surveys with the identified companies. While interviewing, the company personnel were also enquired about their key products, manufacturing plant location, prices of products and competitors. Through this technique, TechSci Research was able to include the manufacturers which could not be identified due to the limitations of secondary research. TechSci Research analyzed the forms, types, end-user industries, distribution network and regional presence of all major Naphthalene Derivatives manufacturers across the globe.

TechSci Research calculated the market size for Global Naphthalene Derivatives using a bottom-up approach, where manufacturers’ value sales data for standard types (Sulfonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde (SNF), Phthalic Anhydride, Naphthalene Sulfonic Acid, Naphthols, Alkyl Naphthalene Sulfonate Salts and Others) were recorded and forecast for the future years. TechSci Research sourced these values from industry experts and company representatives and externally validated through analyzing historical sales data of respective manufacturers to arrive at the overall market size. Various secondary sources, secondary sources directories, databases, company annual reports, white papers, investor presentations and financial reports were also used by the TechSci Research.

Key Target Audience:

• Naphthalene derivatives manufacturers and suppliers
• Research organizations and consulting companies
• Trade Associations, organizations, forums and alliances related to naphthalene derivatives
• Government bodies such as regulating authorities and policy makers
• Industry associations
• Market research and consulting firm

The study is useful in providing answers to several critical questions that are important for the industry stakeholders such as naphthalene derivatives manufacturers, distributors and dealers, customers and policy makers about which market segments should be targeted over the coming years (next two to five years) in order to strategize investments and capitalize on the growth of the market segment.
