Fluorobenzene Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Report Code: CMR 79928 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Fluorobenzene Market Overview

The Fluorobenzene Market size is estimated to reach a value of US$4.6 billion by the end of 2027 after growing at a CAGR of around 2.7% from 2022 to 2027. Fluorobenzene is a chemical compound that is more reactive than chlorobenzene and is highly flammable. It is produced by the reaction of aniline and sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrogen fluoride and is used as an intermediate for insecticides, reagents for plastic & resin polymer and for carbon control in steel manufacturing. Hence, the compound has high applicability in sectors like steel, agriculture, pharmaceutical and plastic. Factors like an increase in the production volume of steel, growing cases of diabetes and an increase in the production of food items on account of high global demand are driving the growth of the Fluorobenzene Market. However, the hazardous nature of fluorobenzene can cause health problems like skin & eye irritation, breathlessness, nausea and damage to kidneys. Hence such side effects can restrict the usage of fluorobenzene in some sectors like agriculture where it is used in insecticides. This can hamper the growth of the Global Fluorobenzene industry.

COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19 negatively impacted the productivity of major end-user industries of fluorobenzene such as plastic and steel. Hence, the lockdown implemented by countries across the world caused a shortage of labor and also raw material supplies was halted. Fluorobenzene is used as a reagent in plastic formation and it is used to control carbon content during steel manufacturing. Hence, due to the lack of availability of workforce and raw materials, the productivity of these sectors decreased, which negatively impacted the demand for fluorobenzene. For instance, according to PlasticEurope, in 2020, global plastic production was 367 million tonnes showing a 0.2% decrease compared to 368 million tonnes in 2019. Further, according to World Steel Association, in 2020, global crude steel production was 1,864 million tones showing a 0.9% decrease compared to 1,880 million tones produced in 2019. Such a decrease in the production level of steel and plastic led to a decrease in usage of fluorobenzene in the steel & plastic sector, which negatively impacted the growth of the Global Fluorobenzene industry.

Fluorobenzene Market Segment Analysis – by Grade

The industrial grade segment held a significant share in the Fluorobenzene Market in 2021 and it is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period. Industrial grade fluorobenzene which is more reactive than chlorobenzene is majorly used in agrochemicals like insecticides & pesticides, as reagent in plastic formation and as a carbon controller in steel making. The rapid development in these sectors has increased their level of productivity which has positively impacted the usage of fluorobenzene. For instance, according to the Comprehensive report of the Food and Agriculture Organization, global pesticide usage increased during the period 2000–2019 by 36 percent, to 4.2 million tonnes in 2019. According to PlasticEurope, in 2019, global plastic production was 368 million tonnes showing a 2.5% increase compared to 359 million tones produced in 2018. Further, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2020, China’s total steel output increased by 5.2% to a record 1.05 billion tonnes. An increase in pesticide consumption and production output of steel & plastic will lead to more usage of fluorobenzene in them which will positively impact the growth of global fluorobenzene industry.

Fluorobenzene Market Segment Analysis – by End-user

The steel sector held a significant share in the Fluorobenzene Market in 2021 and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period. Fluorobenzene is a relatively inert compound that is majorly used in sectors such as the steel sector to control carbon content during steel manufacturing. The increase in demand for steel from major sectors such as construction & automotive has increased the global production of steel output, which has positively impacted the usage of fluorobenzene in the steel sector. For instance, according to World Steel Association, in 2019, global crude steel production reached 1,869.9 million tonnes up by 3.4% compared to 2018. Such an increase in global steel production will lead to more usage of fluorobenzene as raw material during steel manufacturing for carbon content control. This will have a positive impact on the growth of the global fluorobenzene industry.

Fluorobenzene Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

Asia-Pacific held the largest share in the Fluorobenzene Market in 2021, with a share of over 35%. The region consists of major economies like China and India which have major end-user industries like steel, plastic and agriculture that majorly uses fluorobenzene. The rapid economic development in these nations has increased their industrial productivity. For instance, according to World Steel Association, in 2019, China’s crude steel production reached 996.3 million tones up by 8.3% on 2018, while India’s crude steel production was 111.2 million tones up by 1.8%. According to Plastic Europe, in 2019, Asia with 187.68 million tonnes of plastic output held a 51% share in global plastic production with China producing 31% of Asia's plastic output. Further, according to the Comprehensive report of the Food and Agriculture Organization, in 2019, Asia held a 52-53% share of global pesticide consumption. Fluorobenzene made through hydrogen fluoride is used as a reagent in plastics, as a carbon content controller in steel making and as an intermediate for pesticides & insecticides. The increase in consumption of pesticides and production output of steel & plastic will increase the usage of fluorobenzene in these sectors which will boost the growth of the global fluorobenzene industry.

Fluorobenzene Market Drivers

Increase in Number of Diabetic Cases

Fluorobenzene which is more reactive than chlorobenzene is used in making 1,2Difluorobenzne which has high applicability in the pharmaceutical sector. Hence, the compound is used in making medicine related to human diseases like diabetes. The increase in the number of diabetic patients has increased the demand for diabetic medicine, which has positively impacted the usage of 1,2Difluorobenzene. For instance, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2019, 28.7 million people of all ages or 8.7% of the US population were diagnosed with diabetes and the median county-level prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased from 6.3% in 2004 to 8.4% in 2019. Further, according to International Diabetic Federation, in 2019, diabetic patients increased to 32.3 million showing a 92.2% increase compared to 2000. Such an increase in the number of diabetic patients will increase 1,2Difluorobenzene demand for making diabetic medicines, resulting in more usage of fluorobenzene for 1,2Difluorobenzene formation. This will boost global fluorobenzene industry growth.

Increase in Steel Production Output

Steel is valued for its strength and has become the material of choice for many sectors such as construction, automotive and also household appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators and microwaves. Hence due to the high applicability of steel in various sectors, the production level of this metal has also increased. For instance, according to World Steel Association, in 2021, global crude steel production increased by 3.6% 2021 to 1,191.9 million tonnes. Fluorobenzene made in presence of hydrogen fluoride is majorly used in the steel sector for carbon content control. Hence, the increase in the production output of steel will increase the usage of fluorobenzene for carbon control. This will boost the growth of the global fluorobenzene industry.
