Facts and Factors have authored “1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene Market By Application (Trimellitic Anhydride, 1, 3, 5-Trimethylbenzene, Durene, and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2019 - 2026”. Based on our analysis, the global 1, 2, the 4-trimethylbenzene market in 2019 is approximately USD 3,400 million and is anticipated to reach around USD 4,800 million by 2026. The anticipated CAGR for the 1, 2, and 4-trimethylbenzene market is around 5% from 2020 to 2026.
1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene is a basic organic industrial chemical and is also known as pseudocumene. Generally, pseudocumene is categorized as an aromatic hydrocarbon and is a flammable colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, diethyl ether, and benzene but nearly insoluble in water. Methylation of toluene and xylene is the manufacturing process of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene. It is also naturally found in petroleum and coal tar.
Pseudocumene is used in the production of PVC, plasticizers, trioctyl triphenylate, powder coatings, paints, etc. 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene is also used as raw material to produce the dye, medicine, and synthetic resins. Trimellitic anhydride, 1, 3, 5-trimethyl benzene, and durene is produced by using 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene.
The increasing demand for trimellitic anhydride in various industrial applications such as paints & coatings, and wire & cable insulation is likely to increase the consumption of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene to produce trimellitic anhydride. Trimellitic anhydride is widely used in manufacturing automotive parts and medical equipment. Moreover, the rising demand for 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene in China is further expected to propel global market growth.
As China is known to be the manufacturing hub, the number of manufacturing companies is growing rapidly, thereby, increasing the application of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene in various industries like paints & coatings, pharmaceutical, and dyes among others. However, the fluctuating raw material prices and manufacturing cost is estimated to hinder the global 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene market. Conversely, technological innovation in the product is projected to offer new opportunities to the market. The major manufacturers of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene are focusing on developing new and innovative production processes for 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene.

Trimellitic anhydride accounted for the largest market share of the global 1, 2, and 4-trimethylbenzene market and is also anticipated to be the fastest-growing category of the application segment. Pseudocumene is widely used as raw material for manufacturing trimellitic anhydride and the demand for trimellitic anhydride is rapidly increasing in applications such as powder coatings, resins, and as a binder for glass fibers, and aggregates.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific dominated the global 1, 2, and 4-trimethylbenzene market and accounted for the largest market share. China is the major producer and consumer of the 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene and is continue to enhance its consumption in the upcoming years as well.
However, China is also the evolving market of trimellitic anhydride. Manufacturers such as Zhegndan and Baichuan among others have increased the production capacity of trimellitic anhydride. Therefore, this is in turn projected to increase the consumption of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene in trimellitic anhydride production.
