Ethane Market valued at USD 16.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 24.5 billion by 2030

Ethane Market - Updated Market Insight (With Market Values & CAGR)
Market Overview
The Ethane Market is expanding steadily due to increasing global demand for ethylene production, which is a key feedstock for plastics, packaging, construction materials, automotive components, and chemical intermediates. Ethane, primarily extracted from natural gas streams, has become a critical raw material for the petrochemical industry as companies shift toward ethane-based steam cracking to achieve cost efficiency and higher yields.

The global ethane market is valued at USD 16.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 24.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2024-2030. Growth is driven by rising ethylene demand, shale gas developments in North America, and expansion of ethane-to-ethylene cracker projects worldwide.
