Naphtha refers to a broad range of volatile and flammable liquid hydrocarbons that are derived from crude oil or coal tar. This liquid fraction, commonly obtained from petroleum refining, displays properties that are intermediate between gasoline and kerosene. It has the ability to dissolve and mix with various organic compounds, facilitating chemical reactions or acting as a carrier for desired materials. Its unique composition ensures its utility as a solvent, diluent, or raw material in various industrial processes, including the production of high-quality gasoline and as a feedstock for the production of chemicals. Furthermore, it finds applications in the cleaning of metals and the extraction of valuable substances.

The global market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for high-octane fuel using olefin-rich materials. This trend, together with the ongoing expansion in the petrochemical sector and the growing application of this material for the creation of aromatics and olefins is propelling the market. Moreover, the growing demand for budget-friendly fuel has amplified consumption in both developing and industrialized regions, which in turn is creating a positive market outlook. In line with this, the rising construction and infrastructure development activities in both residential and commercial areas are further stimulating the demand for paints and cleaning agents, thereby stimulating the market. Furthermore, the accelerating need to achieve higher fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in alignment with international regulations leading to the formulation of specialized fuel mixtures is fueling the market.
