OPDA (o-Phenylenediamine) Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global OPDA (o-Phenylenediamine) market is being driven by the growth of its application segments. The OPDA (o-Phenylenediamine) market is expected to witness a moderate growth in the coming years, growing at a CAGR of 4.20% between 2025 and 2034.

China is one of the leading markets for OPDA. The industry in China is being driven by the presence of major players like Nantong Dading Chemical Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Tianjiayi Chemical Co., Ltd. in the country. Jiangsu Tianjiayi Chemical Co., Ltd. is one of the leading producers of OPDA in China, with a production capacity of 2500 tons per year. However, with the March 21st, 2020 blast at its plant in Chenjiagang Town, Xiangshui County, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, which led to the shutdown of the plant, the supply of o-Phenylenediamine (OPDA) is expected to be severely affected in the country during the forecast period.

The supply of OPDA is also dependent upon the availability of its primary feedstock, aniline. With the aniline industry expected to witness a healthy growth in the forecast period of 2025-2034, the OPDA industry is also expected to be propelled forward. The aniline industry is expected to be driven by the rising demand from its application sectors like MDI. MDI is witnessing an increasing demand from its end-use industries like construction and automobile in coatings, sealants, and adhesives applications. The Asia-Pacific is one of the leading markets for aniline, with China being a significant market within the region. The rising construction and automotive sectors are driving the aniline industry in China. Being a significant producer and consumer of aniline, the growth of the China aniline market is expected to add to the production growth of o-phenylenediamine (OPDA).
