According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Meta-xylene market size was valued at US$ 2745 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3869 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
Meta-xylene (m-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C₈H₁₀ and one of the three xylene isomers (ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene). In industry, it is typically recovered from reformate or other refinery/petrochemical aromatic streams and may be obtained through separation and/or xylene isomerization–separation schemes, then used as a chemical intermediate feedstock or as an industrial solvent. In 2025, global Meta-xylene sales reached approximately 2,900 kilotons, with an average price of 920 US$/Ton.
Demand for Meta-xylene is fundamentally tied to derivative chain throughput, especially where it serves as a primary feedstock for oxidation routes to isophthalic acid and related intermediates, creating structurally "sticky" consumption in integrated aromatics-to-acids value chains that prioritize continuous operation and feedstock reliability. Solvent uses in coatings, inks, adhesives, and similar applications add a secondary layer of volume, but overall market momentum is largely shaped by the operating rates and expansion decisions of downstream resin, polyester-modification, and specialty intermediate producers that convert m-xylene into higher-value products.
