Description

The global naphthalene derivatives market size reached approximately USD 1.75 Billion in 2024. The market is further estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.10% in the forecast period of 2025-2034, reaching a value of around USD 2.62 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Naphthalene is a solid crystal with a characteristic odour and its derivatives are broadly used as surfactants, insecticides, and wetting agents, among others, in major sectors such as agriculture, construction, detergents, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and textile.
  • One of the key naphthalene derivatives market trends is the expansion of the construction sector, which is boosting the use of various derivatives in concrete admixture and pre-stressed concrete, among others. Furthermore, naphthalene derivatives are utilised in concrete to form solid blends and reduce the water-to-cement ratio.
  • Naphthalene derivatives find their usage in the pharmaceutical sector for the development of new medications and drugs. Hence, the increasing research in medicinal chemistry for the production of drugs with minimal toxicity is likely to boost the naphthalene derivatives market demand in the coming years.
  • The increased adoption of naphthalene derivatives in the textile sector for bleaching and dyeing materials due to their wetting and defoaming properties is another crucial market trend. Azo dyes, which are extensively used in various fabrics, use naphthalene sulphate as a precursor during formation.

Market Share by Industry Vertical

As per the naphthalene derivatives market analysis, the construction sector accounts for a considerable market share. Naphthalene derivatives are used for the formation of concrete owing to their low volatility and odourless nature. Moreover, sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde, a naphthalene derivative, is widely used as a reducing agent in concrete and enhances its workability.

In the forecast period, increasing residential and commercial construction and rising investments in infrastructural development are likely to add to the market.

Market Share by Region

The Asia Pacific holds a substantial portion of the global naphthalene derivatives market share due to the robust growth of the manufacturing and textile sectors. The rapid population growth and urbanisation in the region are driving the infrastructural development and construction activities, consequently supporting the demand for naphthalene as intermediates in construction materials. Moreover, the increasing utilisation of naphthalene derivatives in the production of paints and coating layers, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals is also expected to contribute to the market in the forecast period.
