The Emergence of COVID-19 Pandemic

However, the end-use industries are being significantly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2021, as most of the countries have faced issues in lockdown. 4-Aminodiphenylamine used to manufacture rubber and tire. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), vehicle production in Europe, North America, and South America fell by 21%, 20%, and 30%, respectively in 2021. In lockdown production of the vehicle was postponed which limited the demand for tires which, in turn, liming the consumption of diphenylamine/4-Aminodiphenylamine.

4-Aminodiphenylamine Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Fungicide application segment held the largest share in the global 4-Aminodiphenylamine market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 4.4% during 2021-2026. 4-Aminodiphenylamine is employed in agriculture due to its antioxidant properties, it dissolves in many organic solvents and is moderately soluble in water. This aromatic amine is used as fungicides in the treatment of storage scald in apples and pears. On the other hand, N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine is used in hair dyes due to its antioxidative property. Thus, increasing usage as chemical intermediates and fungicides is estimated to increase demand for 4-Aminodiphenylamine during this projected era.

4-Aminodiphenylamine Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

Personal care & cosmetics dominated the 4-Aminodiphenylamine market in 2020. 4-Aminodiphenylamine is used as an oxidation dye color in hair dyes. N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine is highly soluble in water at low temperatures (around 20°C). European personal care & cosmetics market is the largest in the world. According to Cosmetic Europe, a personal care association, the U.S. cosmetics market increased to euro 73.7 billion (US$ 82.50 billion) in 2019 compared to euro 67.2 billion (US$ 79.36 billion) in 2018. Additionally, India’s cosmetics market increased by 12.14 % to euro 12 billion (US$ 13.43 billion) in 2019 compared to euro 10.7 billion (US$ 12.63) in 2018. Hence, such a factor is estimated to grow demand for 4-Aminodiphenylamine.

4-Aminodiphenylamine Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

The Asia Pacific dominated the 4-Aminodiphenylamine market with a share of 30% in 2020 owing to the increasing rubber & tire consumption in Asian Countries. According to the Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC), synthetic rubber accounted for 55% of rubber consumption in the first 3 quarters of 2020. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China exported 295 million tires between January-July 2019 and 46.51 million new inflatable rubber tires in July 2019. Increasing vehicle production is estimated to grow tire consumption which, in turn, increasing demand for N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine/4-Aminodiphenylamine. Additionally, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), in India, passenger vehicle production increased to 4,028,471 units in 2018-2019 as compared to 4,020,267 units in 2017-2018. Furthermore, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA), vehicle sales rose to 2.11 million in 2020. Apart from this, according to Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) and the Auto Care Association, in China, light-duty aftermarket sales will grow from US$281 billion in 2020 to US$314 billion in 2021. Thus, increasing vehicle production activities are influencing the demand for rubber & tire which is also estimated to growing the usage of 4-Aminodiphenylamine.

4-Aminodiphenylamine Market Drivers

Increasing Production of Rubber in Emerging Economics

The major rubber consumers are China, India, Malaysia, and more.
