Report Overview

Rapidly expanding petrochemical industry and the government’s supportive initiatives to improve infrastructure are expected to drive India Naphtha Market during the forecast period between 2024 and 2030.

India Naphtha Market – Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2030

India Naphtha Market size was estimated at USD 17.40 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, India Naphtha Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% reaching a value of USD 22 billion by 2030. Prominent drivers of the market include the increasing demand for naphtha as a versatile liquid hydrocarbon, derived from crude oil or coal tar, which plays a crucial role across multiple industrial applications. Its use spans from refining high-octane gasoline to metal cleaning and as a key component in petrochemical production, particularly in the manufacturing of aromatics and olefins. The ongoing expansion of the petrochemical sector, along with a growing need for cost-effective fuel options, is driving consumption. Additionally, the construction boom in both residential and commercial sectors is pushing up the demand for paints and cleaning agents, in which naphtha is a vital ingredient. With the increasing focus on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, naphtha’s importance in developing specialized fuel mixtures further cements its role in India's industrial landscape.

India Naphtha Market

Naphtha – Overview

Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture typically derived from crude oil but can also be obtained from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and coal tar. It plays a critical role in diluting heavy crude oil, reducing its viscosity to facilitate transportation, as undiluted heavy crude is difficult to move via pipelines or load onto tankers. Naphtha stands out as an efficient dilutant, as it can be recycled after processing. Its importance has grown with the global decline in lighter crude oil production, leading to increased reliance on heavier oil reserves.

Growth Drivers

Rapid Expansion of India Petrochemical Industry

The rapidly expanding India petrochemical industry is significantly boosting the growth of India Naphtha Market. With an increasing demand for petrochemicals across sectors like automotive, healthcare, agriculture, and textiles, the need for naphtha, a key feedstock in the production of olefins and aromatics, has surged. Government initiatives such as reducing import duties on naphtha from 4% to 2.5% and support through Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes are further driving this growth. Additionally, infrastructure development, increased healthcare spending, and growing consumption of polymers are contributing to rising naphtha utilization, strengthening its role in India's expanding petrochemical sector.

Challenges

Fluctuations in Crude Oil Prices

Fluctuations in crude oil prices significantly restrain the growth of India Naphtha Market, as naphtha is primarily derived from crude oil. The volatility in global crude oil prices directly impacts naphtha production costs, making it difficult for market players to maintain stable pricing. Events like the 2020 oil price crash, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions between major oil-producing nations such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, created price instability. Unpredictability leads to uncertainty in supply chains, hampers profitability, and discourages investments in India Naphtha Market, ultimately restraining the market growth.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on India Naphtha Market

Escalating geopolitical tensions among countries across regions could have a significant impact on the growth of India Naphtha Market. These tensions may disrupt global trade routes, leading to supply chain disruptions and volatility in naphtha prices. Political instability in key oil-producing nations could limit the availability of crude oil, from which naphtha is derived, thus affecting production levels. Additionally, sanctions or trade restrictions imposed during geopolitical conflicts can increase import costs and reduce access to critical resources, further straining the market. Consequently, the India naphtha market may face challenges in maintaining stable growth amidst rising geopolitical uncertainties.
