Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures: n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees Celsius by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method)

In 2024, aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures: n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees celsius by the iso 3405 method (equivalent to the astm d 86 method) trade exhibited modest growth, with global flows reaching $9,066,743,979 and a three-year compound annual growth rate of -2.9% (five-year: +4.0%). The all-time peak of $12,481,910,999 was recorded in 2017; the current level is 27% below that high-water mark.

Over the 30-year observation window (1995–2024), 62% of years recorded positive growth, indicating a mildly upward trajectory with periodic contractions. Trend momentum is steady (-0.6% acceleration).

The World Trade Flows Characterization classifies aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures: n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees celsius by the iso 3405 method (equivalent to the astm d 86 method) as "One-way trade" in the medium price range price segment, providing additional context for market positioning and competitive dynamics.

The supply side is diversified (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index 0.055). The three largest exporters — India ($1.0B), Netherlands ($948.9M), and Türkiye ($827.0M) — collectively dominate supply flows. The leading exporter has grown at +63.5% over the last three years.

On the demand side, importer concentration is diversified (HHI 0.089). The three largest import markets are Netherlands ($1.7B), Belgium ($1.5B), and United Arab Emirates ($789.7M). The largest importing market sources from 42 different supplying countries.

Estimated substitution elasticity: -16.63. Buyers are highly price-sensitive and can switch between suppliers relatively easily.

The dominant trade corridor is India → United Arab Emirates at $646.3M, representing 81.8% of the importer's total demand.

The volatility score for aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures: n.e.c. in heading no. 2707, of which 65% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 250 degrees celsius by the iso 3405 method (equivalent to the astm d 86 method) is 11 out of 100, classified as low. Trade flows are relatively stable compared to other HS6 products, suggesting mature supply chains and predictable demand.

For market entrants, modest but steady demand provides a reasonable entry window. The diversified supply landscape means many competitors but also multiple entry points and buyer relationships to target.

Data confidence is rated "High" based on reporting coverage and consistency across OECD member and partner countries.
