1,4-Dicyclohexylbenzene Market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% over 2023-2029. 1,4-Dicyclohexylbenzene is a chemical compound, a member of the cycloalkane family, and is employed as a high-temperature heat transfer fluid or heat transfer medium in various industrial applications owing to its thermal stability. The increased application of DCB in chemical manufacturing and semiconductor industries as a heat transfer fluid drives the market. Furthermore, the growth of renewable energy and solar power projects for certain energy applications, particularly in high-temperature solar thermal systems is also anticipated to propel the market. According to (Solar Energy Industries Association) SEIA, more than 6,300 major solar projects are currently ongoing representing nearly 205 GWdc of capacity, mostly in the US.

In addition, the availability of options to customize formulations of DCB according to specific performance characteristics to meet the unique needs of various industries has provided several opportunities for manufacturers to flourish in the market. Currently, the trend toward smaller, more powerful electronic devices has driven demand for DCB in semiconductor manufacturing processes. But, the constant fluctuations in price for factors like raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, and increase in competition owing to the availability of other alternatives for heat transfer fluids in the market may hinder the market growth. However, the advancement in technology for the production and purification of DCB, growth in renewable energy and solar power projects, increased research and development efforts in various industries, and economic growth is anticipated to burgeon the market during the forecast years.
