Biphenyl-based Derivatives Heat Transfer Fluids are high-performance fluids derived from Biphenyl and its variants, such as diphenyl oxide, hydrogenated terphenyl, and diisopropyl biphenyl. Renowned for their exceptional thermal stability, low volatility, and efficient heat transfer capabilities, these fluids are critical in high-temperature industrial processes. Applications span concentrated solar power (CSP), chemicals and petrochemicals, synthetic fiber and polymer production, and other specialized uses. Their ability to operate at temperatures up to 400°C without degrading makes them indispensable in energy-intensive sectors, offering advantages over mineral oils and other synthetic fluids.
The market is closely tied to industrial efficiency and renewable energy trends, with significant growth potential driven by CSP expansion - evidenced by IEA data showing photovoltaic capacity rising from 117 GW in 2019 to 375 GW in 2024, with projections of 402 GW in 2025 and 540 GW by 2028. Production is concentrated among a few key players, primarily in Asia and North America, reflecting a specialized market balancing technological innovation with industrial demand.
The global market is projected to reach 0.62-0.95 billion USD by 2025, with a CAGR of 3.5%-6.5% through 2030, reflecting steady growth fueled by energy and industrial applications.
