Market Research Future Published a Half Cooked Research Report on “Global Aromatics Market Research Report - Forecast to 2027”– Market Analysis, Scope, Stake, Progress, Trends and Forecast to 2027. 
Eastman Chemical, Ashland, BASF SE, Huntsman Corporation, Celanese Corporation, Petrochem Carless, INEOS AG, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and Honeywell among others are some of the prominent players at the forefront of competition in the Global Aromatics Market and are profiled in MRFR Analysis.  
Aromatics Market – Overview 
The Global Aromatics Market is expected to grow at moderate annual increment, driven by demand from application industries like automotive, petrochemical and chemical industries. The aromatics manufacturers are increasingly shifting towards Asia Pacific region in line with the shift of consumer demands in rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, and pesticides sectors. As a result of this shift, China is the largest contributor and accounted for nearly half of the global production of Aromatics. Significant refining and cracker capacity of the petrochemical has been added in China to address rapidly growing car fleet sales as well as the diverse needs of a growing Chinese middle class. Overall, the rate of aromatics capacity addition has been very high in Asia Pacific region while global consumption is expected to slow down, due to economic slowdown of many developing and developed countries. As a result of this, aromatics operating rates is expected to decline, leading to lower margins and pressure on the higher-cost producers. 
Competitive Landscape: 
The report analyses the degree of competition among the industry players as well as industry growth and market scenario in India and the world. The Global Aromatics Market is at a growing stage, which represents moderate stats in terms of market value and overall volume. Over the past few years, Aromatics Market has witnessed healthy demand from end use industries such as pharmaceuticals textiles automobiles, paints, papers, soaps, detergents. Globally market for aromatics is fragmented and it is moving towards growth expansion by specifically adopting partnership, expansion and joint-venture strategies and product launch strategies. 
Aromatics Market India

Regionally, western India has been the dominant region contributing approx. 50% to the Gross Value Added (GVA) for the Aromatics sector. 
Several initiatives taken by Government of India will support the growth of Chemical Industry in India. One of such initiative is 'Make in India'. This initiative is expected to foster growth in Indian Aromatics market by allowing duty rationalization for skill development, feedstock, improving infrastructure and tax incentives for R&D investments. Approval of the GST bill is another key reform which is expected to lower logistics cost by 10-15% and create a unified market across the country. The launch of Single Window Interface for Facilitating Trade (SWIFT) by government would help importers or exporters to file a common integrated declaration, instead of 9 forms across 6 agencies. 
The R&D investment and facility of Indian companies have been limited traditionally, but the situation is changing slowly with more and more companies looking at R&D as a key source of staying in competitive environment of Aromatics market in India. The investment in R&D for Indian companies is expected to grow above 2% of the total revenue, thereby help to innovate them the product in the market. The industry is also observing increasing tie-ups with academia which will facilitate the technology applied research further.
