The Aniline Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 19125.82 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Aniline is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5NH2. It is a colorless, toxic liquid with an unpleasant odor. It is produced on a large scale as a precursor to many industrial chemicals. It is primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam, as a precursor to MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) and TDI (toluene diisocyanate) which are key intermediates in the manufacture of flexible and rigid foams used in applications like cushioning, thermal and sound insulation.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends fueling the growth of the Aniline market is increasing demand for MDI and TDI from polyurethane foam manufacturers. MDI and TDI are key intermediates in the manufacture of flexible and rigid polyurethane foams which find widespread usage as cushioning and insulation material in industries like automotive, construction and furniture. According to market estimates, the global MDI market was valued at over US$ 12 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4-6% during 2021-2027. Similarly, the TDI market was estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the same period. The growth in these end use industries is anticipated to augur well for the demand of Aniline over the forecast period.
