HEAVY ALKYL BENZENES (HAB) MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global Heavy Alkyl Benzenes (HAB) Market size was USD 0.45 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.64 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.1% during forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, heavy alkyl benzenes (HAB) experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

A by-product of the manufacture manufacturing linear alkyl benzene is heavy alkyl benzene. It is utilized in lubricating greases and heat transfer oils. It is also mentioned that it is utilized in the creation of hydraulic fluid in addition to both diesel and gasoline engine oils. During the projected period, increased lubricating oil demand from the automobile and other manufacturing sectors is anticipated to increase the overall usage of heavy alkyl benzenes.

Excellent qualities of heavy alkyl benzene include superior oxidizing and thermal stability. These characteristics makes heavy alkyl benzene a perfect lubricant. Additionally, it is used in heat transfer oil, insulation for electricity oil, and oil for refrigeration machines. Therefore, the market is anticipated to rise throughout the forecast period as a result of the growing popularity of the chemical within lubrication applications.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Isolation Limitations to Deplete Market Advancement 

As many other manufacturers, heavy alkyl benzene (HAB) businesses are vulnerable to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak on a number of fronts. Numerous end-user industries, including those in the automobiles manufacturing, metal, and textiles sectors, can employ heavy alkyl benzene. The COVID-19 disruption has a significant impact on these end-user industries, which limited the heavy alkyl benzenes (HAB) market growth and use of heavy alkyl benzene (HAB) during the pandemic and proved to be a constrain to the market. Volatility in feedstock prices, difficulties with the supply chain and logistics, and erratic consumer demand additionally proved to be obstacles for commodity chemicals companies.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Popularity of Dialkyl Benzene to Stimulate Market Development 

It is anticipated that the dialkyl benzene type segment will grow significantly over the forecast period. Because it provides a superior protective layer and has a high resilience to moisture in addition to high resistance to salt water spray, dialkyl benzene is mostly utilized in fluids for metalworking as rust preventives. Due to its improved performance and low cost, metalworking soluble oil based on dialkyl benzene has been developed as a replacement to mineral lube oil.

Over the course of the forecast period, technological developments, rising research and development expenditures by key market participants, and novel product development are anticipated to generate profitable market possibilities.

DRIVING FACTORS

Employment in Production of Greases to Aid Market Expansion

A good corrosion or rust preventive is heavy alkyl benzene (HAB). Typically, it is employed in the production of greases. Because it provides a superior protective layer, a high level of resistance to humidity, and a high level of resistance to salt water spray, heavy alky benzene (HAB) is employed in fluids for metalworking as a rust preventative. Given its superior performance and affordability, heavy alkyl benzene-based metalworking soluble oil had been invented as a replacement for mineral lubrication oil. In the near future, this is anticipated to drive the market for heavy alkyl benzenes (HAB).

Long Shelf Life of the Chemical to Foster Industry Progress 

Heavy alkyl benzene has a long shelf life and is stable in a variety of climates. Heavy alkyl benzenes are utilized as soluble in cut oils, rust inhibitors, leather substances, flat liquor, metals treatment chemicals, textile auxiliaries, ore floatation chemicals, and inks. Owing to the properties mentioned above the heavy alkyl benzenes (HAB) market share will be proliferated during the forecasted timeframe.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Crude Oil Prices Fluctuation to Hinder Market Advancement

Crude oil prices fluctuate dependent on geopolitical variables.  Consequently, petrochemical product prices are similarly erratic.  Because petrochemical products including heavy alkyl benzenes are generated from crude oil, crude oil price volatility has a significant role in heavy alkyl benzenes (HAB) market share formation.
