Europe Cyclohexanone Market Overview

The Europe Cyclohexanone Market size is forecasted to reach US$1.2 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Cyclohexanone is an organic compound composed of a six-carbon cyclic molecule with a ketone functional group that is prepared from cyclohexanol by oxidation with chromium trioxide or the oxidant sodium hypochlorite to improve the efficiency of the chemicals. Cyclohexanone is ideal for applications that require a low level of oxygen or peroxide. The key advantages of cyclohexanone include uniform evaporation, low moisture content, low toxicity and ecotoxicity, low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and good cleaning solvency, these advantages result in higher product durability. The growth of the European cyclohexanone market is primarily driven by the textile industry, as cyclohexanone-based adipic acid is used in the production of nylon-based fabric. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic restricted the industrial production activities across Europe, which, in turn, created ripples in the growth of the Europe cyclohexanone industry. In 2021, the surge in industrial production activities also accelerated the Europe Cyclohexanone Market growth. Moreover, the surging pharmaceutical production in the European region is expected to fuel the demand for cyclohexanone. As a result, the Europe Cyclohexanone Market size will expand during the projected forecast period of 2022-2027.

Europe Cyclohexanone Market Segment Analysis – By Application 

The nylon intermediates segment held the largest Europe Cyclohexanone Market share in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The cyclohexanone consists of a six-carbon cyclic molecule with a ketone functional group. It has various key properties, including a molecular mass of 98.14 g/mol, a boiling point of 312.1 ° F / 155.6 at 760 mm Hg, a melting point of 3 ° F / -16.1 ° C, a vapor pressure of 101.7 ° F at 10 mm Hg and other properties that contribute to the intermediates' base. Thus, owing to these properties, cyclohexanone is utilized alone or in a mixture in the production of nylon intermediates such as adipic acid and caprolactam. For instance, according to the Fibrant, a leading manufacturer of cyclohexanone, nylon intermediates such as adipic acid and caprolactam have a dominant cyclohexanone market share in Europe. Hence, the increasing use of cyclohexanone in the production of nylon intermediates is propelling the European cyclohexanone market forward. 

Europe Cyclohexanone Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry 

The textile segment held the largest Europe Cyclohexanone Market share in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Cyclohexanone is employed in the textile industry to ensure superior fabric durability. The advancement of textile manufacturing technology, recent investment in the new facility developments and others are the crucial determinants driving the textile industry growth in Europe. For instance, according to the European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX), in the year 2019, the textile industry of the European Union was valued at €162 billion (US$181.35 billion), an increase of 2.7% over 2018. Thus, the growth of the textile industry in Europe is fueling the demand for nylon. As a result, the demand for cyclohexanone is surging, which in turn, is driving the Europe Cyclohexanone Market growth.

Europe Cyclohexanone Market Segment Analysis – By Geography 

Italy is the dominating country as it held the largest Europe Cyclohexanone Market share in 2021 up to 30%. Italy's economic growth is being fueled by the expansion of some of its major industrial sectors, including textile, automotive, construction and others. The surge in consumer spending on textile products, increasing government initiatives in the textile industry and other factors are accelerating the growth of the textile industry in Italy.
