World Benzene Analysis
IHS Chemical World Benzene Analysis (formerly CMAI World Benzene Analysis) is an annual study that covers historical trends and forecasts for major global benzene market fundamentals over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients receive detailed data on eight components of the benzene aromatic mix in 10 geographic regions with five-year market forecasts.

The supply-demand balance for benzene—the world’s largest aromatic chemical by volume—often depends on decisions where its producers and users do not drive the decision. In fact, this is the case for around three-fourths of benzene production because it is manufactured predominately as a by-product, whether from ethylene production or from gasoline-driven reformer operations in refineries. Only a small, vulnerable segment of benzene supply depends on operations that traditionally exert an influence on incremental benzene pricing. Understanding each side of this complex and evolving supply-demand equation for benzene is critical for making planning and investment decisions.
IHS Chemical World Benzene Analysis examines historical trends and near-term projections for supply, demand, production, capacity, trade, pricing and profitability of the global benzene industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). The study looks at the dependency of eight components of the benzene mix on a broad range of factors, ranging from fuels legislation and co-product investment plans to steam cracker feeds changes and new technologies. Commentary on the critical outlook for emerging economies as well as on supply/demand developments in major industrial economies is included.
Clients may order IHS Chemical World Benzene Analysis in book and CD-ROM format. Included is 12-month’s access to IHS Chemical’s online capacity and supply/demand databases, with updates to the capacity database as they occur and biannual updates to the supply/demand database.
