  /AB  ABSTRACT: Aniline production is concentrated in the US, Western Europe and 
    Japan.  Its global production capacity in 1995 was 2.2 M tonnes, while 
    consumption was only 2 M tonnes.  It has been estimated that the world 
    demand in 2000 will reach 2.68 M tonnes.   In recent years, there has been 
    more demand than supply in the market; this is particularly due to the 
    increase in need of diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI).  Main 
    contributions in aniline production are from ICI, Britain, (200,000 tonnes 
    capacity), Bayer, Germany, (242,000), First (110,000) and DuPont (118,000) 
    of the US.  Other countries with production facilities are in Belgium, 
    Russia, China, Korea, India and Brazil.  New plants are being constructed 
    or planned for, especially through JV e.g.   Bayer and First.  In Japan 
    alone, the output of aniline in 1995 was 241,500 tonnes.  Besides MDI, 
    aniline consumption is in the rubber, agrochemical, dyes and pigments, 
    pharmaceutical and synthetic fibres industries (only 150,000 tonnes in 
    1995).  Tables provide information on major aniline producers in the world 
    and their capacity; aniline output in the US, Western Europe and Japan 
    (1980-1995); and its consumption in these regions according to application 
    e.g.  MDI, rubber auxiliary and agrochemicals.
