Alkylates Market Expected to Grow 1.3x as Demand in Aviation Industry Gradually Returns to Pre-Pandemic Levels

NEW YORK, October 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — According to a study published by Fact.MR, the global market for alkylates is expected to reach US$78.1 billion by the end of 2021. In response to the rapid advancement of the manufacturing sector and the growing demand from the automotive and aviation industries, the market is expected to reach the top 100 billion US dollars by 2031, growing at a stable CAGR of 2.5%.

The expansion seen in the aviation industry is driven by the increase in passenger and cargo air traffic worldwide. According to a report by the International Civil Aviation Organization, around 4.5 billion passengers were carried on schedule in 2019, resulting in around 38.3 million aircraft departures worldwide. Since alkylate is widely used in the production of aviation fuel, the increase in air travel will provide immense sales opportunities for market players.

Some of the major market players are investing heavily in expanding their production capacity by installing new alkylation units. For example, Hengli Petrochemical, a company based in Chinaannounced the installation of a new STRATCO alkylation unit at its new integrated paraxylene crude petrochemical and refining plant in July 2020. The unit helps the company to produce 300,000 tons/year of high quality alkylate. Driven by such developments in the landscape, the market is expected to total 100 billion US dollars until 2031.
