Tetraethyl benzene Market size was USD 454.01 thousand in 2020 and will grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2021 to 2027. The rising pharmaceutical industry along with its growing demand for chemical research applications will positively influence business expansion.
Tetraethyl Benzene is an organic compound, that is produced through various synthesis processes that mainly include the Crippen method and the Joback method. The processes use basic structural information of a chemical molecule, including, list of functional groups along with their parameters and calculate transport & thermophysical properties as a function of the sum of group parameters. The production of tetraethyl benzene is difficult since it has four ethyl groups compared to ethylbenzene, which has a single ethyl group. This increases the product cost compared to its precursors.
Growing use of tetraethyl benzene as a raw material in the manufacturing of benzene carboxylic and vinylbenzene acids, especially pyromellitic dianhydride. Pyromellitic dianhydride is majorly used in heat-resistant polyimide resins and films & coatings applications, which will primarily drive the tetraethyl benzene market growth.

This is because Pyromellitic Dianhydride (PMDA), a key intermediate in polyimide-based composite materials and polyimide films, finds wide applications in tape automated bonding, flexible-printed circuit boards, and magnetic wire insulation. Furthermore, consistent developments in the coating and medical industries for economical & sustainable products will positively influence revenue generation.
Supply chain disputation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and high production & manufacturing costs owing to increased labor prices & rising taxes on product imports and other raw materials may hamper the tetraethyl benzene market share. Several environments compliances toward proper product storage packaging and transportation may also restrain product demand in the near-term. However, a positive outlook for chemical research applications and the pharmaceutical sector will support industry expansion.
In 2020, the research applications generated over USD 275 thousand in tetraethyl benzene market size. This is attributed to the high usage of tetraethyl benzene for exploration and experimentation in the development & improvement of new or existing compounds. Rising investments from several companies to manufacture materials in large quantities without many by-products are expected to improve product growth during the forecast timeframe. Tetraethyl benzene is widely used for the production of pyromellitic dianhydride, benzene carboxylic acids, and vinylbenzenes, which in turn, are widely used in the preparation of high-performance coatings.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has affected research & development and decreased the production of chemical solutions across the globe due to strict lockdowns and social distancing norms by government authorities worldwide. Additionally, the average shutdown duration of a research lab across the globe is nearly 20 to 30 working days, which is likely to affect the global tetraethyl benzene market sales in 2020. However, the research sector has witnessed a significant increase in demand in the Q3 of 2020.
Asia Pacific, led by China, will witness over 2.5% CAGR. The growth in the region can be attributed to intensified competition and the availability of higher production capacity of coating products, medicines, and epoxy resins. Increasing demand for epoxy resins and thermoplastic solutions across various end-use industries is expected to create substantial opportunities for pyromellitic dianhydride solutions, driving for tetraethyl benzene market demand across the region.
Favorable foreign-based investments due to the potential pharmaceutical market in Asia Pacific along with the presence of major pharmaceutical & coating manufacturers in the region will further support industry growth. Moreover, increasing demand for medicines due to growing central nervous diseases across developing countries will propel the tetraethyl benzene market revenue over the forecast span.
Tetraethyl benzene market manufacturers are engaged in partnerships with research institutes and pharma intermediate companies to attain a competitive edge in the market. Recently, Antimex Chemical Limited collaborated with the Shanghai University and Zhejiang University. This strategy will enable the company to increase its research transfer capability in the near-term. Moreover, advancements in the production process or the development of a new synthesis method to manufacture tetraethyl benzene on an industrial scale will also have a huge impact on industry development.
