The global naphtha market was valued at USD 191.32 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.69% from 2025 to 2030. This market is propelled by advancements in refining technologies that have enhanced both the yield and volume of naphtha, rendering it a more competitive feedstock for petrochemical production. The implementation of cutting-edge technologies, such as steam cracking, has facilitated the effective transformation of naphtha into high-value olefins like ethylene, further enhancing its competitiveness.

By Product Type Insights

Light naphtha held the largest revenue share in the global naphtha market in 2024, mainly due to its high paraffin content, making it valuable in the petrochemical industry for producing plastics and chemicals. The demand for light naphtha is increasing due to industrialization and urbanization, supporting growth in the petrochemical and automotive sectors. The heavy naphtha segment is projected to grow the fastest due to technological advancements, regulatory support, and cost reductions, with innovations boosting efficiency and market growth.

By Application Insights

In 2024, the chemicals segment led the market, with naphtha used to produce gas, ethylene, and propylene. The demand for chemicals, including those in paints and coatings, is driving growth. Additionally, the energy/fuel segment is expected to grow significantly, spurred by rising demand from the automobile and construction industries, increased disposable income, and the expansion of power plants and fertilizer units in developing economies.

Regional Insights

The Asia Pacific naphtha market led the global market with the highest revenue share in 2024. This dominance can be linked to factors such as swift industrialization and urbanization, growth in the automotive sector, and an increase in disposable income, all contributing to market expansion. Additionally, the rising demand for plastics in the construction industry is propelling the growth of the naphtha market in the Asia Pacific region.

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.
