FLUORENONE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global fluorenone market size was USD 0.04 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow USD 0.05 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period.

North America is dominating the fluorenone market share in 2025.

Fluorenone is a liquid compound that is colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is used in the production of organic compounds and pharmaceuticals. The manufacture of fluorenone uses a novel process called air gas-phase oxidation (AGPO). It has been discovered to be a successful method for producing this chemical in significant amounts with high yield and purity. At some specific temperatures, gaseous air is oxidized in enclosed tubes to produce a pure, highly concentrated product and byproducts, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and others.

The fluorenone market is likely to grow due to the rising production of anti-malaria tablets and other such medicines. Additionally, as a ligand, fluorenone is used in metallocene catalysts. The substance is used to make components for dyes and optical brightening agents. The advantages of fluorenone include its conductivity, resistance to heat and corrosion, and sensitivity to light and temperature. The main industries that use fluorenone are liquid crystal, molecular and luminescent chemistry, biochem morphology, and organometallic complexes. To treat or prevent brain and spinal injury, medicine uses its derivatives.
