Rising demand for MDI-based polyurethanes is one of the most significant drivers of the global aniline market, because aniline is the primary raw material used in manufacturing methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). As construction activity expands—particularly in insulation, roofing, sealants, and energy-efficient building materials—consumption of rigid and flexible polyurethane foams increases. These foams rely heavily on MDI, so higher demand directly boosts aniline production requirements. Growth in infrastructure development across emerging economies, along with stricter energy-efficiency regulations, continues to amplify the need for polyurethane thermal insulation, further strengthening aniline demand..

Data Bridge market research analyzes The Global Aniline Market is expected to reach USD 18.54 billion by 2033 from USD 11.83 billion in 2025, growing with a substantial CAGR of 5.9% in the forecast period of 2026-2033.
Key Findings of the Study
Growth in Rubber Processing and Tire Manufacturing.
The growth in rubber processing and tire manufacturing is a significant driver for the global aniline market. Aniline is a key intermediate in the production of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), which is widely used in polyurethane foams for tire manufacturing and other rubber-based applications. As the automotive and transportation industries expand, the demand for tires and high-performance rubber products has surged, directly boosting the consumption of aniline. Additionally, the adoption of advanced synthetic rubber materials, which require aniline-derived chemicals for improved elasticity, durability, and heat resistance, has further strengthened the link between tire production and aniline demand.
