Report Code: CMR 45152 Report Format: PDF + Excel

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene Market Overview

The 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene Market size is forecasted to reach a value of US$1.1 billion by the end of 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (DMN) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is naturally available in water bodies and can be determined by gas chromatography. It is derived from naphthalene with the addition of two methyl groups and it is one of the ten isomers of Dimethylnaphthalene. It is considered a key intermediate compound in the production of polyethylene naphthalate. Different zeolites such as SAPO-11, HUSY and HZSM-5 are utilized during the manufacturing of 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene. Among all the zeolites, SAPO-11 provides superior stability and shape-selectivity while producing 2,6-DNM from methylation of naphthalene. Polyethylene naphthalene exhibits superior properties as compared to polyethylene terephthalate.

COVID-19 Impact

Many industries across the globe have faced several challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Several industries such as electrical and electronics, plastic, food, aviation and many others have experienced pitfalls. Many projects in such industries have been halted due to an interrupted supply chain and employee shortages amidst the lockdowns. Also, the production and demand in the electronics industry have declined due to an interrupted supply chain and cessation in transportation. According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, the global production by Japanese electronics companies declined by 5% in 2020. Thus, the global pause in industrial production and distribution and the demand and consumption of 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene has been hampered to an extent across several industries. Also, a decrease in the output of the electronics industry hindered the market growth during the pandemic.

The presence of various developing countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and others is supporting the growth of the market. According to Plastic Europe, China accounted for 32% of the world's plastic production. Also, Future Agenda stated that according to The International Air Transport Association, the global number of passenger departures each year would reach $16 billion by 2050. Thus, the growth in plastic production and the aviation industry is fueling the demand for 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene.

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene Market Driver

Surge in Plastic Production and Significant Growth in Packaging Industry

Over the years, the packaging industry has evolved with the adoption of developed technologies, green practices and sustainable production across the globe. 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is used extensively in the production of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) polymers and is remarkably utilized as a substitute for polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Environment regulation related to the use of sustainable material for packaging has further boosted the demand for 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene in packaging. It is utilized as a packaging material for food packaging, specifically beverage packaging, such as beer and juice. Moreover, there is an increased production of plastic owing to the high demand from several end-use industries. According to the "Our World in Data" publication, on annual basis, the world produces more than 380 million tonnes of plastic every year. Thus, the increase in the production of plastic and growth in the packaging industry is boosting the growth of the global 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene Market.

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene Market Challenge

High-cost Requirement in the Production of 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is mainly used in the production of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) polymer which is further used in a range of applications. It is referred to as a costly intermediate for the production of PEN through 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid monomer. Currently, 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is formulated through a four-step process from butadiene and o-xylene. However, this process is considered a bit complex. The starting agents are environmentally harmful, complicated and expensive. Thus, the expensive manufacturing process of 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is hampering the growth of the global market.
