Biphenyl Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026 - 2035
The Global Biphenyl Market was valued at USD 304.1 million in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach USD 515.2 million by 2035.
Market growth is driven by the rising demand for biphenyl in the production of specialty chemicals. The pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors increasingly rely on high-purity intermediates, making biphenyl a critical component in complex molecular formulations. Stricter regulatory requirements on chemical purity and performance are encouraging manufacturers to adopt biphenyl-based compounds for their stability and predictable results. Another significant driver is the expanding use of biphenyl as a heat transfer fluid and industrial solvent. Its excellent thermal stability and solubility make it ideal for high-performance industrial applications, particularly in the petrochemical and automotive sectors. Environmental and regulatory considerations also support biphenyl adoption, as its well-characterized safety profile and predictable behavior make it suitable for coatings, adhesives, plastics, and other regulated applications. Overall, the market is benefiting from a combination of industrial recovery, energy efficiency initiatives, and the need for reliable, compliant chemical solutions.
