Quarterly Update on Global Cyclohexane and Cyclopentane Market

For the Quarter Ending December 2020

Asia

Cyclohexane and Cyclopentane demand surged in the global market in Q4 2020 buoyed by the rising demand for Cyclopentane as refrigerant and blowing agent in insulation and refrigeration applications. With the onset of Covid-19, the demand for foam-blowing agent in the production of Polyurethane, used in the manufacturing of refrigerators, freezers increased in the final quarter due to the consistent increment in demand for the storage of surgical devices and vaccines. Thus, despite of strict rules and regulations, the demand for Cyclopentane was remained stable to firm due to rising demand in pharmaceuticals, healthcare and food and beverage industry. Consequently, its prices also averaged at around USD 2014 per MT CFR JNPT in the quarter ending December 2020.

Europe

With the stabilizing demand in the automotive and textile industry, market sentiments for Cyclohexane remained stable in Q4 2020. The supply for cyclohexane was ample in Q4 2020 as compared to Q3 2020 with a smaller number of scheduled turnarounds in plant units followed by its feeble demand. Over time, restocking of material by the end-user industries was observed that increased the demand by the end of the quarter. Prolonged turnarounds at downstream plants also affected the demand in Q4 2020

North America

Consistent increment in the prices of Cyclopentane and Cyclohexane was observed in Q4 2020 due to the increased demand from textile, paints and coating industry. With economy paving its way back, the demand gained stability while the supply was observed to be initially low. As the prices of upstream crude increased in Q4 2020, the manufacturing cost subsequently increased leading to a rise in prices of Cyclohexane and Cyclopentane. Prices of these two products are expected to remain firm in the near term as the prices for upstream crude are anticipated to continue an upward trajectory.

About

Cyclohexane is a non-polar, highly flammable, and colorless cycloalkane and Cyclopentane is a highly flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon at room temperature. Cyclohexane is used in the manufacturing of Adipic Acid and Caprolactam that are used in various end-user industries like automotive, paints and coatings, textile, construction, etc. Around 90% of the Cyclohexane produced is used to manufacture intermediates for nylon 6 and nylon 6,6. Cyclopentane, on the other hand, has applications as refrigerant, blowing agent, insulator, and solvent. Easing government regulations and low production costs are expected to drive the demand for Cyclohexane in the forecast years. Cyclohexane is mainly a derivative of crude oil, but it is derived from the Hydrogenation of benzene whereas Cyclopentane is manufactured by cracking Cyclohexane in the presence of Alumina at high pressure and temperature.
