Global Cyclohexane Dimethanol (CHDM) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Cyclohexane Dimethanol (CHDM) market size was valued at US$ 602 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 871 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.5% during review period.

As a white waxy solid, CHDM is an important organic chemical raw material. Its molecular formula is C8H16O2 and its molecular weight is 144.21. CHDM has two isomers, namely, cis and trans. The trans proportion structure is relatively symmetric, the lattice structure is regular, the lattice energy is high, the melting point is high, and the heat resistance of the product is good. When it is used in the production of pet products such as PETG, the higher the trans proportion is, the higher the heat resistance of the pet will be. In industrial production, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol uses dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) as raw material, and the benzene ring is hydrogenated to produce dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD), and DMCD is further hydrogenated to produce CHDM. As the core raw material for the production of high-end polyester, the production technology of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol has long been mastered by companies in the United States, South Korea and other countries, including Eastman Company of the United States and SK Chemical of South Korea. The synthesis of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is difficult. Due to the limitations of technology and raw materials, there are currently few companies in my country that have truly achieved large-scale production of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and market demand still relies on imports. Enterprises and scientific research institutions in my country that are engaged in the research and production of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol include Kellin Chemicals, Kangheng Chemical, etc.

1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol has the advantages of wear resistance, transparency, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, etc. It is an important material for the production of polyester in industry. It is currently mainly used to produce new polyesters such as PCT, PETG, and PCTG. At present, PCT, PCTG, and PETG are widely used in food packaging. The development of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol will effectively improve the national food safety problem. 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is also used in powder coatings. With the development of the home appliance and furniture markets, people's demand for environmentally friendly high-performance coatings is also increasing. Therefore, the demand for 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is constantly increasing. North America is the world's largest market, accounting for about 44% of the market share, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, accounting for 15% and 37% respectively.
