然而,己烷傳統上是從石油中提取的,其與石化燃料的連結引起了環境問題。這導致環境監管機構加強審查並開發永續替代品。己烷在使用過程中會釋放揮發性有機化合物,造成空氣污染並嚴重危害健康。這給使用己烷的行業帶來了環境和監管方面。己烷在使用過程中會釋放出揮發性有機化合物(VOC),造成空氣污染。人們對空氣品質及其對健康影響的認知不斷提高,可以導致更嚴格的排放標準和法規。己烷排放的揮發性有機化合物可能對工人和附近社區造成健康風險。這種擔憂可能會導致監管行動和公眾監督,從而影響使用己烷的行業營運的社會許可。消費者運動和社群媒體可能會放大這些擔憂並損害品牌。日益增加的環境和監管挑戰是阻礙市場成長的重大挑戰。
按年級分的展望
依等級分類,市場分為聚合、萃取等。到 2022 年,聚合領域將在市場中佔據重要的收益佔有率。己烷在聚合物工業中的主要用途之一是生產聚乙烯(一種廣泛使用的塑膠)。聚乙烯是由乙烯單體聚合而成。己烷通常用作聚合過程中的溶劑,並有助於聚乙烯的分離和精製。合成橡膠的生產涉及丁二烯和苯乙烯-丁二烯混合物等單體的聚合。己烷也用於黏劑和被覆劑的配方中,其中聚合物發揮重要作用。聚合過程產生用於各種黏劑和被覆劑的聚合物。
按用途分類的展望
根據應用,市場分為食用油加工、工業溶劑、黏劑配方、皮革加工等。 2022年,食用油加工領域在市場中佔據了重要的收益佔有率。己烷廣泛用於從大豆、菜籽、向日葵和棕櫚等油籽中提取植物油。它充當萃取溶劑,有效地將油與原料分離。己烷的選擇性溶解度允許非極性化合物溶解,並有利於從油籽中有效提取油。這種選擇性特性有助於以相對純淨的組合物實現高油產量。己烷在萃取和精製過程中的作用有助於生產更健康的食用油。去除雜質和不需要的成分可改善油的營養成分,並有助於滿足對健康食品日益成長的需求。
區域展望
從區域來看,我們對北美、歐洲、亞太地區和拉丁美洲地區的市場進行了分析。 2022年,亞太地區以最高的收益佔有率引領市場。亞太地區的化學和石化工業正在經歷顯著成長。己烷作為溶劑在這些領域極為重要,特別是亞太地區的芳烴萃取和各種化學製程。在化學過程中使用己烷可產生用於塑膠、樹脂和其他製造應用的中間體和最終產品。亞太地區是主要的製造業中心。
The Global Hexane Market size is expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 1142.04 Kilo Tonnes, experiencing a growth of 2.2% (2019-2022).
Hexane is extensively used to extract vegetable oils from oilseeds such as soybeans, canola, sunflower, and palm. Thus, the Edible Oil Treatment segment acquired $593.57 million in 2022. It serves as a solvent in extraction, effectively separating oil from the raw material. Hexane's selective solubility allows it to dissolve non-polar compounds, facilitating the efficient extraction of oils from oilseeds. This selective property contributes to achieving a high oil yield with a relatively pure composition. Hexane's role in the extraction and refining processes contributes to producing healthier cooking oils. Removing impurities and undesirable components enhances the nutritional profile of the oils, meeting the growing demand for healthier food choices. Some of the factors impacting the market are advancements in textile and leather industries, increasing infrastructure development projects, and increasing environmental and regulatory challenges.
Hexane is used in the spinning and extrusion processes to degrease and clean fibers. It helps remove impurities, oils, and waxes from natural and synthetic fibers, ensuring the production of high-quality yarns. In producing specialty fibers, such as acrylic and nylon, hexane is a solvent in various stages. Its ability to dissolve certain substances contributes to creating specialized textile materials. Hexane is employed in the degreasing and cleaning processes of raw hides. It effectively removes fats, oils, and other impurities from the hides, preparing them for further treatment. Hexane is utilized in the tanning process to dissolve tanning agents, allowing for their effective penetration into the leather structure. This is crucial for transforming raw hides into durable and usable leather. Additionally, Hexane is a crucial component in the formulation of adhesives and sealants used in construction. These materials are essential for bonding various construction elements, including flooring, tiles, and insulation. As infrastructure development projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial construction, increase globally, the demand for adhesives and sealants formulated with hexane grows correspondingly. Hexane is used as a blowing agent in the production of polyurethane foam. This foam is widely used in construction for insulation, contributing to building energy efficiency. These products protect structures from water damage and enhance their longevity. Increasing infrastructure development projects have been a pivotal factor in driving the growth of the hexane market.
However, hexane is traditionally derived from petroleum, raising environmental concerns due to its association with fossil fuels. This has led to increased scrutiny from environmental regulators and a push for sustainable alternatives. Hexane can release volatile organic compounds during use, contributing to air pollution and significant health hazards. This aspect raises environmental and regulatory challenges for industries using hexane. Hexane releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during use, contributing to air pollution. Increased awareness of air quality and its impact on health can lead to stricter emissions standards and controls. VOC emissions from hexane may pose health risks to workers and nearby communities. This concern may lead to regulatory actions and public scrutiny, affecting the social license to operate for industries using hexane. Consumer activism and social media can amplify these concerns, damaging brands. Increasing environmental and regulatory challenges is a significant challenge that hampers the growth of market.
