1-Hexene Market

1-Hexene Market

Global 1-Hexene Market Introduction

1-Hexene is an organic compound with six carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms. 1-Hexene is also called as alpha olefins or higher olefins as per the industrial classification. Two majorly used production processes of 1-Hexene include oligomerization of ethylene and dehydration of hexanol. Large volumes of 1-hexene are produced through oligomerization of ethylene, whereas dehydration of hexanol is used at smaller scale in the chemical industry. Various key players including SABIC, and Linde have developed their own technologies to manufacture 1-Hexene by olegomerization of ethylene. Continuous research and innovation has been done to improve the production processes, during the last two decades. The major applications of 1-hexene include, chemical synthesis, polymer productions and in manufacturing of flavors, perfumes and dyes. A significant amount of 1-hexene is consumed in the manufacturing of polyethylene. It is also used in production of linear aldehydes. Growing application industries of 1-hexene is expected to bolster the demand growth of 1-hexene during coming years. 1-Hexene market is dominated by tier one players, however the price competition from Chinese players is expected to impact on the dynamics of the market.

Market Dynamics of 1-Hexene Market

Rising polymer production and growth in specialty chemicals market

A robust growth in polymer industry is pushing the demand for 1-henene globally. Increasing demand for polyethylene in various applications including packaging and agricultural, is bolstering the growth of 1-hexene market. Rising market demand for specialty chemicals is expected to drive the demand for 1-hexene. Easy raw material availability and increasing applications of LDPE and HDPE is the major driving factor of 1-Hexene market.

Price fluctuations of raw materials along with regulatory challenges can impact the demand for 1-hexene

Volatility in raw material prices and stringent regulations pertaining to the environment is a major challenge for the 1-hexene players. Long term supply contract with the raw material suppliers and raw material manufacturers is followed by some of the players to overcome the price volatility challenge. Availability of alternatives products in the market may also restrain the potential growth of 1-hexene market during the coming years.

1-Hexene market trends: Contracts and expansion are the key strategies followed in the market

Contracts and expansion contributes major part of the total number of strategies followed by the market players. Manufacturers of 1-hexene are signing the long term contracts with raw material supplier to balance the impact of price fluctuation.
