Growing Demand for Olefins in Various End-Use Industries is Driving the Growth of the Global Olefins and Aromatics Market

Olefins are unsaturated hydrocarbons with a double bond between carbon atoms. They are used in making plastics, synthetic fibers, and rubber. Common olefins include ethylene and propylene. Ethylene is crucial for producing polyethylene, while propylene is used in polypropylene.

Aromatics are hydrocarbons with a ring structure and alternating double bonds, such as benzene and toluene. They are essential in producing dyes, detergents, and solvents. Benzene is used to make nylon and synthetic fibers, while toluene is important for paint thinners and adhesives. Both olefins and aromatics are key in petrochemical industries for creating a wide range of products.
