With the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, on account of the burgeoning requirement for medical products, the demand for hexamine is rising sharply across the world. This is because hexamine is extensively used in various industries such as rubber, pharmaceutical, fuels, and explosives. Moreover, the surging population in several countries is majorly responsible for the growing poverty, which is fueling the rise in the incidence of diseases such as neurological diseases and urinary tract infections.

As hexamine is heavily used as an antibiotic for the suppression of bacteriuria in patients suffering from neurological diseases and the treatment of people suffering from urinary tract infections, the rising prevalence of these illnesses is propelling the demand for hexamine. This chemical is also used in the production of automobile tires, owing to its ability to act as an accelerator in the manufacturing of vulcanized rubber. Because of this reason, the surging sales and manufacturing of automobiles, due to the growing disposable income of people, particularly in China, are positively impacting its worldwide demand. 

This was because of the large-scale usage of this grade in vulcanization of rubber, resins, fuel tablets, urinary antiseptics, coatings, sealing compounds, and adhesives. Both stabilized and unstabilized grade hexamine are used in rubber, explosives, fuels, fertilizers, paper, leather, laboratories, resin, and pharmaceutical applications. Out of these, the usage of hexamine was found to be the highest in resin applications in 2017. This is credited to the fact that there are several uses of resins in various industries such as adhesives and plastics and also as coatings and laminates. 

Across the globe, the demand for hexamine was the highest in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the past years. Moreover, the sales of the chemical are predicted to rise at the fastest pace in this region during the forecast period. This will be because of the burgeoning need for the chemical in various applications and also in the plastic industry, which is itself demonstrating rapid expansion in the region. The chemical is used as a feedstock in the plastic industry.
