According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "N-Hexane Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025," the global n-hexane market reached a volume of 2.74 Million Tons in 2019. N-hexane is an organic solvent that is procured from natural gas and crude oil. It is an aliphatic hydrocarbon that can also be obtained by synthesizing sugar cane wastes in the presence of special catalysts. Characterized by an unpleasant odor, it is completely colorless in its purest form. It is highly flammable in nature and consists of explosive vapors. As a result, it is required to be mixed with different solvents to be utilized as an industrial chemical and laboratory reagent for various applications across diverse industries, including textile, food and pharmaceuticals. For instance, it can be employed for the production of glues, paints and lacquers and for extracting vegetable oil from crops and seeds.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
