Global Nitrobenzene Market Demand & Forecast Analysis, 2018-2034

Description

Nitrobenzene is an organic compound primarily produced via the nitration of benzene with a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and water. It is a key intermediate chemical, with more than 95% of its global production consumed in manufacturing aniline, a critical raw material for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). Aniline serves as a foundational feedstock for producing rubber chemicals, urethane polymers, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and explosives.

Market Dynamics

Nitrobenzene demand closely follows aniline production trends, particularly for MDI. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the nitrobenzene market, accounting for over 50% of global consumption, driven by strong demand primarily in China and India. Western Europe and North America contribute around 20% of global demand, largely fueled by automotive and agriculture sectors.
