Global Ethane Market Size Worth USD 18.75 Billion in 2032 | Emergen Research

Rising demand for ethylene for production of various industrial chemical products is driving market revenue growth.

Vancouver, Nov. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global ethane market, valued at USD 12.80 Billion in 2022, is poised for steady growth with a projected revenue CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period. The primary driver behind this growth is the rising demand for ethylene, a crucial petrochemical utilized in the production of various industrial chemical products, including plastics, fibers, and organic chemicals. These chemicals find extensive applications in consumer packaging, transportation, and construction industries.

Market Drivers:

The demand for ethane is fueled by its role in the production of ethylene, which serves as a feedstock for a range of industrial chemical products. Notably, ethylene acts as a plant growth regulator, stimulating fruit ripening and contributing to the growth of taller and leafier crops. Furthermore, the increasing demand for ethane in shale gas production, particularly in the United States, a major shale gas producer, is a significant factor propelling market growth.

Governments worldwide are also contributing to the market’s expansion by planning to introduce ethanol-blended petrol, aiming for a reduction in carbon emissions. For example, India is set to use 20% ethanol-blended petrol from 2025, with ethanol offering a considerable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline.

Market Restraints:

Despite the promising outlook, the ethane market faces challenges such as volatile gas and oil prices, which can create uncertainty in energy planning and investment. The correlation between ethanol and gasoline prices adds to the complexity, with disruptions in crude oil production impacting ethane production.

Segment Insights:

Ethane Application Insights:

The market is segmented based on application into ethylene synthesis, acetic acid synthesis, refrigerant, and others. The ethylene synthesis segment dominated the market in 2022, driven by its essential role in various manufacturing processes in petrochemical industries. Ethylene is a key component in the production of plastics and is also utilized in agricultural practices to ripen fruits and germinate seeds.

The refrigerant segment is witnessing the highest revenue CAGR, attributed to the increasing use of refrigerants in heat transfer applications. The demand for refrigerants, which can carry significantly more energy than water or air, is on the rise, contributing to the growth of this segment.

Ethane End-Use Insights:

The end-use segment is categorized into packaging, automotive and transportation, construction, electrical and electronics, and others. The ethylene synthesis segment dominates, with major volumes of ethylene used in the manufacturing of polyethylene and ethylene glycol, which finds applications in various industries, including antifreeze, paints, plastics, and cosmetics.

The packaging segment is expected to witness the fastest revenue growth, driven by the use of ethanol as an antimicrobial agent in packaging. Ethanol helps prevent moisture-related issues and extends the shelf life of packaged foods.
