Bio Based Paraxylene Market

Global Bio Based Paraxylene Market: Overview

In the last few years, there has been a strong acceptance for various bio-based materials and chemicals at the back of increasing concern over sustainability. Paraxylene refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon compound that is extracted from Benzane. This colorless chemical is highly flammable, toxic, and quite hazardous in nature. Given its damaging nature, several environmental organizations and governments have brought in rules and regulations pertaining to the development of bio-based paraxylene (Bio-PX). Increased concern for environment is likely to support development of the global bio based paraxylene market over the timeframe of analysis, from 2020 to 2030.

Bio based paraxylene is comprised of various renewable raw materials, such as vegetable oils, cellulose, starch, and glucose. The benefit of using such renewable raw materials lies with the ability to process them in an already existing process of recycling and they can be used again. The chemical is finding increased utilization in various bi-based plastic PET bottles (Bio-PET) and in many other applications involving bio-based plastics. Expanding scope of application is expected to work in favor of the global bio based paraxylene market in the near future.

Product, application, and region are the three important parameters based on which the global bio based paraxylene market has been classified.
