In 2015, the global hexane market was worth more than USD 1.75 billion. This is due to expanding application possibilities and increased demand from the oil and gas extraction industry. The properties of hexane include transparency, low water solubility and easy miscibility in chloroform, alcohol, or ether. They offer exceptional performance. These characteristics are expected to propel the global hexane industry.
The global market for edible oil is expected to grow due to its increasing use in the rubber and petrochemical sectors over the next eight year. Its properties like the ability to remove undesirable taste and color preservation, as well as other undesirable food properties, are expected to increase its demand in the edible oils industry.
U.S. Hexane Market Revenue by Grade, 2014-2024 (USD Million).
Hexane-containing solvents are used to extract vegetable oils from crops like soybeans. Oil is extracted from various seed crops, including cottonseeds, mustard seeds, peanuts and flax. The oil can then be used to make food, such as soybeans, rapeseeds, rapeseeds, peanuts or flax. In the textile, shoemaking and furniture industries, solvents are used more frequently as cleaning agents.
It is being increasingly used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to make tablet molds. It is used in veneers made from adhesives, lacquers and cleaners.
Hexane (also known as nhexane) is an organic compound that can be obtained from crude oil and natural gases through various thermal cracking and catalytic processes. It can be both an anthropogenic and a naturally occurring chemical. Volatility in crude oil and natural gases prices has a direct impact on its price.
The global crude oil price dynamics are affected by many factors. These include supply and demand balance, macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions around the world, currency exchange rates, as well as the current condition of the financial markets.
The global extraction grade market dominated and accounted to more than half of global revenue in 2015. Due to the high standards of development required by both the food and extract industries, the industry is expanding at a rapid pace.
The polymerization grade is gaining popularity in the industry due to its purity, precise composition, longer shelf-life, and quality that meets international standards. This grade is used in many industries, including soaps & detergents and tea-leaf processing.
The dominant application was edible oil extractant, accounting for more than 35% of global volume in 2015. Hexane is being increasingly used in the edible oils industry as an oil extractant to seed crops. This segment has seen a rise in awareness about refined oil and its health effects.
The industrial solvent market is a major application area and is expected to grow at 3.0% between 2016-2024. Hexane is a popular solvent used in textiles, footwear and furniture manufacturing due to its easy miscibility and low water solubility.
The modern world has been transformed by solvents. They are an indispensable solution in a variety of industries, including printing inks, paints and coatings, adhesives and pharmaceuticals.
Asia Pacific was the fastest growing hexane region. The market is expected to grow due to increased demand for the extraction application. The regional industry will be driven by rapid industrialization and expanding healthcare facilities.
In 2015, Europe was second in production to Asia Pacific. The regional demand will be driven by moderately growing adhesive and rubber industries. Regional demand will be driven by rising demand for footwear and leather, especially from Turkey and Italy.
The recent slowdown in European economic growth is being overcome. This has had a positive impact on production. Brexit will likely slow down the economy in the near term, further impacting the industry dynamics of the region.
Due to low industrial production and high penetration, the North American market is experiencing moderate growth. This is due to a mature economy that has a declining industrial output. Due to the availability of land, skilled labor, and at a lower cost, manufacturers are moving their production plants to Asia Pacific.
With the presence of few industry players, consolidation is more important than fragmentation in the hexane market. Mil-Spec Industries Corp., Environmental Equipment & Supply, GFS Chemicals, Inc., Continental Chemical, City Chemical LLC, AquaPhoenix Scientific, NOAH Technologies Corporation are key players in the global hexane market.
