The global renewable naphtha market is projected to grow from USD 786.96 million in 2026 to USD 1,914.94 million by 2036, advancing at a 9.30% CAGR during the forecast period. The market was valued at USD 720.00 million in 2025, with growth supported by increasing adoption of renewable feedstocks across petrochemical and fuel applications.
Renewable naphtha provides a renewable alternative to fossil-based naphtha and can be used as a feedstock for petrochemical production and as a blending component for transportation fuels. Regulatory requirements, sustainability targets, and growing availability of waste-based feedstocks are influencing market development.
Renewable Naphtha Market: Key Growth Drivers
Demand for renewable naphtha is being supported by efforts to reduce carbon emissions across petrochemical and refining operations. The EU Renewable Energy Directive III is encouraging greater incorporation of renewable feedstocks, while consumer goods companies are increasing demand for mass-balance-certified renewable plastics.
Growing used cooking oil collection infrastructure is also improving access to renewable feedstocks, supporting production capacity and supply availability.
