Naphtha is a highly versatile and essential hydrocarbon mixture that plays a significant role in the global petrochemical and energy industries. Derived primarily from crude oil and natural gas through refining and processing, naphtha serves as a critical feedstock for producing a wide range of products. Its applications span across various sectors, including the manufacture of plastics, synthetic fibers, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, naphtha is a key ingredient in the production of high-octane gasoline through catalytic reforming, enhancing its utility in the automotive sector. Its adaptability and energy-rich properties make it an indispensable component of industrial operations and energy systems globally.

The naphtha market is primarily driven by the growing demand for petrochemical products in industries such as automotive, packaging, and construction. With the increasing adoption of lightweight materials in vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, the demand for plastics and synthetic rubbers—produced using naphtha—has witnessed a substantial rise.
