Aniline Market

The aniline market is projected to grow from USD 10.17 billion in 2025 to USD 13.27 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

The growth of the aniline market is driven by the demand for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) in construction insulation, furniture, appliance, and automotive component production. The expanding automotive production capabilities result in higher consumption of rubber processing chemical, which uses aniline as a base material for creating antioxidants and accelerators. The growth of textile manufacturing operations creates an increased need for aniline-based dyes and pigments. The expansion of agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries creates a stronger demand for aniline, which functions as an essential intermediate. The developing economies of Asia Pacific experience rapid industrial growth and urban population growth, which leads to increased chemical production in the downstream sector. The implementation of capacity expansions, process optimization, and backward integration into benzene and nitrobenzene systems enhances supply chain reliability while reducing operational costs, which leads to increased use of aniline across various industrial value chains. BASF SE (Germany), Dow (US), Covestro AG (Germany), Lanxess (Germany), Huntsman Corporation (US), China Risun Group Limited (China), Sinopec (China), Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan), Tosoh Corporation (Japan), and Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd (China), among others, are the major players in the market. These companies are strong in their home regions and explore geographic diversification alternatives to grow their businesses. They focus on increasing their market shares through new product launches and other expansions.
