Who are the manufacturers of ortho xylene in Asia?

According to 6Wresearach internal database and industry insights, Asia Pacific ortho xylene market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of approximately 3.8% from 2025 to 2031, rising from estimated valued USD 4.1 billion in 2024 to about USD 4.9 billion by 2031. Growth is being driven by its pivotal role as a feedstock for phthalic anhydride—used in plasticizers, polyester resins, coatings, and adhesives—where rapid expansion of construction, automotive production, and polyester manufacturing across China, India, and Southeast Asia is boosting demand.

The popularity of PVC is increasing in automotive interiors and construction materials intensifies the demand, at the same time sustainability concerns are catalysing exploration of bio-based alternatives. Meanwhile, few trends are shown by the market  such as consolidated supply chains, adoption of green chemistry, and localized capacity expansion—particularly in China and India which are strengthening the strategic position of region and supporting cost efficiency across the value chain.
