Rise in demand for hexane in the edible oil industry for use in oil extraction is primarily ascribed to its property of being a high-efficiency solvent. Key players operating in India, China, and Indonesia are striving to become price competitive in order to maintain their hexane market share.
Surge in emphasis by manufacturers on continuous improvements in production processes by investing resources in technological advancements is expected to create lucrative Asia Pacific hexane market opportunities.
Companies such as BPCL and CPCL are at the forefront of expanding their production capacities and also exploring new business opportunities in various grades of hexane production. Companies can invest in the launch of innovative products, such as polymer-grade hexane, for use in industrial applications to boost sales of their products.
Hexane is a commercial and industrial product that is a mixture of hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms. It has the chemical formula C6H14 and is a significant constituent of gasoline. Hexane is a highly volatile, flammable, and toxic chemical. It is a colorless, odorless, non-polar solvent that is lighter than water and has a gasoline-like odor.
Hexane is used in many industrial applications, including textile manufacturing and food based soybean oil extraction. Hexane must be maintained in fireproof & well-sealed vessels in a ventilated environment, away from significant oxidants. Any leftover chemical must be recovered or sent to the source for its intended purpose. Hexane should not be disposed of with general waste.

Hexane is largely used for extraction of safe to eat oils from vegetables and seeds such as mustard seed, cottonseed, rapeseed, flax, groundnut, soybean, corn germ, safflower seed, and palm. It helps to extract the maximum feasible amount of oil and eliminates unwanted scent and flavor from oil.
It is recyclable and it can be reused after oil extraction. Food-grade hexane is employed in oil extraction, because of its performance and protection. It has a low boiling factor and it retains its liquid properties in cold climates.
According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2019-2028, worldwide edible oil production is growing. Growing intake of vegetable oil drives domestic oil manufacturing. According to the OECD-FAO Outlook 2022, China is a worldwide player in vegetable oil consumption, followed by India. Moreover, China is the second largest vegetable oil producer, after Indonesia.
Growth of population, surge in disposable income, and rise in standards of living are key factors fueling the Asia Pacific hexane industry size. Growth in number of retail outlets and increasing food processing trends are also driving market progress.
The emphasis on manufacturing safe to consume oil is boosting the demand for hexane in the oil extraction process, which is likely to drive the Asia Pacific hexane market development during the forecast period.
As a solvent, hexane is used in paints and coatings for dissolving pigments, additives, and binders. Around 50% of solvents are used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, and printing inks.
Solvents dissolve or disperse components including binders, pigments, and extenders used in the formula of paints and coatings. They also assist in speeding up the curing and drying procedure, because of which the demand for solvents is increasing within the worldwide paint industry.
Increase in urban population across the globe is driving the demand for new residential constructions, especially in developing economies of Asia Pacific such as India and in Southeast Asian countries. Paints and coatings are an integral part of the building & construction industry.
The construction industry in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rate of around 7%-8% in the near future. This will subsequently boost the sales of hexane in various adhesive and polymer industry. Thus, increase in residential construction activities is expected to augment the Asia Pacific hexane industry growth.
The Asia Pacific hexane market segmentation based on grade includes food grade, industrial grade, and pharmaceutical grade. The industrial grade hexane segment is dominant in the Asia Pacific region, currently making up 26.9% of the market. Detailed estimation suggests that this share is likely to expand to 35.4% by 2034.
Surge in demand for polymer-grade and technical-grade hexane in industrial applications such as plastics, rubber, and synthetic fiber production is driving the demand for industrial grade hexane.
The preference for hexane as a solvent is also increasing due to its effectiveness and low environmental impact, which aligns with the focus on sustainable manufacturing. As a result, the industrial grade hexane segment is expected to see substantial expansion in the next few years in Asia Pacific.
