Growth Drivers

  • Demand for high-performance plastics in electric vehicles: The rapid expansion of electric vehicles has increased the demand for lightweight plastics, which makes vehicles more ergonomic. According to data from IEA, China’s electric vehicle sales surged from 0.9 million in 2020 to 6.4 million in 2024. The rapid expansion of vehicle electrification is demanding high-performance plastics that are stable and advancing the growth of the 1,4-diphenylbenzene market. DIPB serves as a core intermediary for performance stabilizers that are used in insulation and wiring. The wide usage of the DIBP in the automotive sector has further increased its growth.
  • Expansion in petrochemical and aromatics in APAC: Expansion in aromatic and complex chemical manufacturers is strengthening the regional potential for benzene and propylene, which serve as an essential feedstock for DIPB. As the availability of feedstocks improves, manufacturers of additives and specialty chemicals gain supportive access to DIBP, maintaining consistent growth in automotive and electronics. China, in its 14th 5-year plan, prioritized modernizing the petrochemical chain of the country with a strong focus on integrated refining-chemical complexes. The initiative will strengthen the availability of the feedstock and improve the DIBP production across the region.
  • Expanding demand from polymer additives & antioxidants: DIBP acts as a major intermediary in high-performance stabilizers that are employed in automotive and electronics production, which directly increases its consumption. The annual report of 2024 from BASF claims that the Asia Pacific has a high demand for antioxidants and polymer additives, especially from consumer electronics and industrial needs. The business is aiming to expand the additive capacity to meet the rising demand for DIBP.

Challenges

  • Supply chain disruption: The rising trade regulations of APAC are limiting the certainty of consistent imports and exports. Approval from customs and transport documents is becoming lengthy and expensive for importers. DIBP moves through a multination supply chain where compliance issues may lead to delayed shipment delivery, leading to increased cost.
  • Tightening chemical safety: Asia Pacific governments are tightening the security for hazardous chemicals, including their manufacturing, storage, and logistics. DIBP is a controlled chemical, and its exchange requires stringent compliance, which often leads to increased cost of purchase. Emerging polymer manufacturers may restrict the usage of DIBP and may look for more sustainable and cheaper alternatives.
