Mesitylene Market Share and Growth Factors Covid-19 Impact Analysis 2021–2026 | Versalis / EniChem, Sinopec Jinling Refinery (Sinopec)
Mesitylene
or 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene is a derivative of benzene with three methyl
substituents positioned symmetrically around the benzene ring. Mesitylene is a
colorless liquid, insoluble in water with a sweet aromatic odor, and is prepared
by methyl alkylation of xylene over solid acid catalyst. The global Mesitylene market is expected to
grow at a CAGR of -0.7 percent from USD 166.2 million in 2020 to USD 159.1
million in 2026. Coal tar is the traditional source of mesitylene. Mesitylene's
three aromatic hydrogen atoms are in chemical shift settings that are similar.
As a result, only a single peak at 6.8 ppm is produced by these three atoms. As
a result, in NMR samples containing aromatic protons, mesitylene is utilized as
an internal standard.
During the forecast period, multiple
uses of mesitylene in various end-use industries are expected to enhance the demand
for mesitylene. Mesitylene, for example, is a precursor to a variety of
excellent compounds. Trifluoroperacetic acid oxidizes it to form mesitol, which
is used to prevent pitch difficulties, fix basic dyestuff, and eliminate
mottling. Furthermore, the use of mesitylene as an intermediate is one of the primary
drivers driving the market's growth. Mesitylene is mostly employed as a
precursor of 2, 4, 6-trimethylamine, which is a colorant precursor. Due to
demand from a variety of end-use sectors, the color and dyestuff market is
quickly expanding.
The toxicity of mesitylene and its
effects on animals are two major factors that are limiting its global market
expansion. Mesitylene fumes are neurotoxic and irritating to animals, according
to a 2006 study published in the Polish Journal of Environmental Studies.
North America dominated the global
mesitylene market in 2017, according to a global industry analysis. The
presence of chemical industries such as The DOW Chemical Company, ExxonMobil,
and PPG Industries in the region is credited with this expansion. Throughout
the forecast period, the region's market is expected to remain dominant.
Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company Inc.,
The DOW Chemical Company, Versalis / EniChem, Sinopec Jinling Refinery
(Sinopec), EMD Performance Materials, Toyo Gosei Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Jiri
Chemical Co., Ltd., Nantong Dingji Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Jurong Anbei
Chemical Co., Ltd., and Jinzhou Petrochemical Co., Ltd. are among the major
players in the global mesitylene market.
