Global 1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene (Durene) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global 1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene (Durene) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 88.03 million in 2025 to US$ 106 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2026 to 2032.

1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene, namely durene, is a kind of colorless crystals solid powder(some companies’ products are liquid for their low technology) with the formula C6H2(CH3)4. They can be divided into industry grade and reagent grade. They can be used for manufacturing PMDA, as organic synthesis intermediate or in other fields. At present the abroad companies usually put the 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene used for the manufacture of PMA & PMDA directly, very few companies sold 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene products. In China, the 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene manufacturers sells them as the products, and partly of the companies used them as materials for the producing of PMA & PMDA too. So in this report we only static the products which transferring in the market not including the products which are not sold in the market. However, at present only the China manufacturers sold their products in the market, so in this report the companies are all China players.

China is the largest market for 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene (durene). The world's major manufacturers include Puyang Shenghuade, Yunnan Jiehua, Pengchen New Materials (Master), Jiangsu Hualun Chemical, Liaoning Xinde New Materials, Zhengdan Co., Ltd., and TEDA New Materials. The top three manufacturers account for about 40% of the market share.

1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene (durene) is mainly used in the production of polymers, synthetic resins, coatings, plastics and other chemicals in industry. With the development of these industries, the demand for durene has also increased.

At present, the global production of durene is mainly concentrated in mainland China, and there are few durene manufacturers outside mainland China. Affected by multiple factors such as environmental protection and safety investment, raw material supply, process technology, product quality, and stable supply, durene suppliers are gradually concentrating.
