$ 1038/MT |
The price of cyclohexane in China saw an overall increase in the final quarter of 2023, reaching 1038 USD/MT. This is due to the increasing purchase of cyclohexane by Chinese traders to boost their inventories. However, there were moments of dip in the price trend due to the decline in export orders and depreciation in benzene prices.

Cyclohexane Market Analysis
The global cyclohexane market size reached US$ 26.1 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 41.1 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.20% during 2023-2032.
- The cyclohexane demand is amplified globally due to its utilization in manufacturing nylon 6,6 and nylon 6 intermediates, such as caprolactam, hexamethylenediamine, and adipic acid. These materials are used in carpets, furniture, floor coverings, ropes, sutures, and other things. IMARC Group’s latest report predicts that the market for nylon 6 will reach US$ 44.7 billion by 2032, growing at an annual rate of 7%. Also, companies are expanding their nylon production capacity to meet the surge in demand. For instance, Invista Nylon Chemicals invested USD 230 million to double the capacity of its Shanghai-based nylon 6,6 manufacturing plant to 400000 tons/year.
- The demand for cyclohexane in automotive manufacturing is another critical factor, expanding its market. Nylon derived from cyclohexane is used in seat coverings, safety belts, and other components. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), approximately 50 million passenger cars were manufactured globally during the Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2022, which was a 9% increase from the same period in 2021. This trend reflects a potential rise in demand for cyclohexane to produce nylon for various automotive parts.
- The surge in demand for polyurethane (PU), which utilizes cyclohexane as an essential feedstock in driving the market expansion. Polyurethane is used in insulation, foams, and other applications. PU foam industry is projected to grow at a rate of 5.8% annually and reach a value of US$ 87.8 billion by 2032. Also, in Europe, PU is a significant contributor to the European Union (EU) economy, creating a value of Euro 218.1 billion and adding 363500 jobs.
- Advancements in the production of cyclohexane is also playing a vital role in expanding its market share. For instance, researchers have developed a mass exchange process with a counter current gas permeation membrane, which exhibits a 40.08 reduction in power consumption and 3.59% decline in hydrogen utilization. Furthermore, researchers are exploring the selective conversion of methane to cyclohexane and hydrogen. This new method promises outstanding selectivity of 92% and productivity of 41 μmol g−1 at 300°C.

The company will invest $ 2 billion in this expansion project to meet the demand for high-value products from its U.S. Gulf Coast refining and chemical facilities.
Product Description
Cyclohexane (C6H12), also known as hexamethylene, is a clear, colorless, liquid organic compound with a mild petroleum-like odor. It is barely soluble in water but offers excellent solubility in benzene, carbon tetra chloride, acetone, olive oil, ethyl ether, and ethanol. The physical property of cyclohexane includes melting point (6.47°C), boiling point (80.7°C), specific gravity (0.779), formula weight (84.161), and flash point (-4 °F).
Cyclohexane is naturally found in Helichrysum odoratissimum, Manilkara zapota, and other organisms. It is commercially produced by hydrogenation of benzene using platinum, nickel, or palladium as catalysts. Cyclohexane also occurs in petroleum (o.5-1.0%), where it is extracted through distillation.
This chemical is used as a solvent, fuel additive, processing aid, monomer, laboratory chemical, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is also employed in perfume manufacturing, surface coatings, plastic production, and the extraction of essential oils.
