India Ortho-Xylene Market

India Ortho-Xylene Market Size and Share: 

The India ortho-xylene market size reached USD 134.01 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 187.95 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.83% during 2025-2033. The India ortho-xylene market share is growing due to increasing demand from the textile and apparel industry for polyester production and rising usage in agrochemical manufacturing as a key solvent and intermediate for herbicides, pesticides, and related agricultural formulations.

India Ortho-Xylene Market Trends:

Expansion of Textile and Apparel Industry

The swift growth of India's textile and apparel sector is a key factor driving the need for ortho-xylene. Ortho-xylene is an essential precursor in the creation of terephthalic acid (TPA), widely utilized in the production of polyester fibers and textiles. Polyester is a commonly utilized synthetic fabric, appreciated for its low cost, resilience, and simple upkeep, rendering it an essential element in the textile industry. India’s textile sector is a major contributor to the country’s economy and exports, and its growing need for polyester textiles, such as those utilized in fast fashion and home textiles, is directly increasing the utilization of ortho-xylene. As per the data provided by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian textiles and clothing market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%, potentially hitting US$ 350 billion by 2030. Moreover, The textiles and clothing sector accounts for 2.3% of the country’s GDP, 13% of industrial output, and 12% of exports. The textile sector in India is anticipated to increase its GDP contribution, growing from 2.3% to around 5% by the decade's conclusion. The rise in popularity of polyester in the production of clothing, upholstery, and industrial fabrics is aligned with the growing trend toward synthetic fibers, which are cost-effective and versatile. This is catalyzing the demand for Ortho-Xylene, which continues to be a crucial component in the manufacture of polyester fibers.

Growing Employment in Agrochemical Sector

The rising use of ortho-xylene in the agrochemical industry is another significant factor supporting the market growth. Ortho-xylene is an essential solvent and intermediate in the production of various agrochemicals, including herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. The growing demand for agricultural products is driving the need for effective and efficient agrochemical formulations, making ortho-xylene a vital ingredient in their production. India’s agrochemical industry, in particular, is witnessing rapid growth, owing to the need to boost crop yield and ensure food security for its growing population. According to the information provided by IBEF in 2024, the Indian agrochemicals sector is expected to expand significantly with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between FY25 and FY28. This expansion is anticipated to raise the Indian agrochemicals market to US$ 14.5 billion by FY28, an increase from the existing level of approximately US$ 10.3 billion. As the agrochemical sector expands, the demand for ortho-xylene will continue to rise, particularly for its role in the formulation of key products like herbicides and pesticides. This increasing need for efficient agricultural solutions in tandem with India's agricultural and economic development is contributing to the market growth.
