Ethylbenzene Market Outlook 2031
The Global Ethylbenzene market size was valued at USD 3.28 Billion in 2022 and is likely reach to USD 4.60 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.83% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising production of styrene.
Ethylbenzene is derived from petroleum-based products and coal tar. This chemical compound is an inflammable and colorless in nature. It is produced by reacting ethylene and benzene at temperature 250°C. Ethylbenzene is used as an anti-knock agent and natural gas recovery agent. Pesticides, paints, inks, cellulose acetate, and synthetic rubber are manufactured by using ethylbenzene.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market. It has plummeted the demands for products including exterior panels, reagents for paints and coatings, automotive dashboard, styrene-acrylic emulsions, and ethylbenzene-based polymers.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising innovation in the manufacturing process is expected to drive the market growth.
- Rapid growth of the packaging industry is playing a major role in the growth of the market.
- Having notion of self-owned car fuels the growth of the market.
- Increasing demand for raw materials in construction and automotive industries is anticipated to foster the growth of the market.

Ethylbenzene Market Segment Insights
Styrene segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
Based on applications, the ethylbenzene market is divided into styrene, gasoline, diethylbenzene, natural gas, paint, asphalt and naphtha. The styrene segment is further segregated into acrylonitril-butadiene-styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitril resins (SBR), styrene-butadiene elastomers and latex, and unsaturated polyester resins.
The styrene segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to increase use of styrene precursor to manufacture chemicals such as ABS, SBR, resins, protective coatings, and styrene plastics.
However, the paint segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years owing to rising production of vehicles.
Packaging segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR
On the basis of end-users, the market is segregated into packaging, electronics, construction, agriculture, automotive, and others. The packaging segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period due to increasing demand for polystyrene for packaging applications in the food, and electronics & electrical industries.
On the other hand, the construction segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period due to rising demand for ABS, styrene acrylic emulsions, and SBR.
Ethylbenzene Market Regional Outlook
Asia Pacific is anticipated to constitute a key market share
