Description

Naphthalene Market Summary

The global naphthalene market size was estimated at USD 5,308.0 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 7,559.3 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2026 to 2033. The market is experiencing increasing demand due to its growing use in the construction industry as a plasticizer in various concrete admixtures, specifically naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde.

There is an increasing demand for products like mothballs, surfactants and pesticides which contain naphthalene. Naphthalene converts directly from a solid to a gas at room temperature, creating fumes that repel moths and other insects thus protecting cloths and fabrics. This has led to a rise in demand for naphthalene.

Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is produced from coal tar and petroleum. Coal-tar processing: In this process, it is obtained as a by-product of the carbonization of coal. Coal tar is heated in the absence of air to produce coke, coal gas, and coal tar. Then it is distilled to obtain various fractions, including naphthalene. The crude naphthalene is purified by crystallization, distillation, or sublimation to remove impurities.

Petroleum processing is also produced by-product of petroleum refining. Petroleum is distilled to obtain various fractions, including naphtha. The naphtha is then reformulated and cracked at high temperatures and pressures to produce lighter products, such as gasoline and diesel. The residue obtained from this process is known as petroleum coke, which contains naphthalene. The naphthalene is then extracted from petroleum coke by a solvent extraction method.

Once the naphthalene is extracted, it can be further processed to obtain various derivatives or used directly as a raw material for various industrial applications. Naphthalene is widely used in the production of phthalic anhydride, anthraquinone tetracarboxylic acid, and other chemical intermediates.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
