概要

Stratistics MRCによると、世界のキシレン市場は2025年に5,962万米ドルを占め、2032年には1億2,378万米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間中のCAGRは11%です。

キシレンはベンゼン族に属する芳香族炭化水素で、ベンゼン環に2つのメチル基がさまざまな位置に結合したもので、オルト-キシレン、メタ-キシレン、パラ-キシレンの3つの異性体が存在します。キシレンは無色で可燃性の液体で、甘く独特な臭いがあり、印刷、ゴム、皮革産業で溶剤として、またプラスチック、合成繊維、テレフタル酸のような化学物質の製造の原料として一般的に使用されています。キシレンは塗料、コーティング剤、接着剤にも使用されています。高濃度にさらされると、めまい、頭痛、呼吸器刺激などの健康被害を引き起こす可能性があり、取り扱いには注意が必要です。
