Dublin, Jan. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "1,4-Butanediol Market by Type (Synthetic and Bio-based), Application (Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Gamma Butyrolactone (GBL), Polyurethane (PU)), and Region (APAC, North America, Europe, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global 1,4-Butanediol market size is estimated to be USD 7.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 11.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.5%.
The growing awareness regarding recyclable products, and their benefits related to the environment is one the primary factors driving the market growth. Moreover, factors like growing demand from the automotive industry, and high demand from the textile sector are also contributing toward the market growth of 1,4-Butanediol.
THF is estimated to lead the 1,4-Butanediol market, by application in terms of value during the forecast period.
By application, THF is estimated to be the largest segment in the BDO market in 2021. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is broadly used as an intermediate raw material or as a solvent in applications, that include, PTMEG, PVC, pharmaceuticals, magnetic tapes, adhesives, paints and coatings, amongst others. It is largely used in the textile industry. With the increasing demand for special-purpose textiles from all over the world, the demand for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is expected to rise during the forecast period. This, in turn, is propelling the market growth for BDO.
Bio-based BDO is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment in the BDO market, by type.
By type, bio-based BDO is estimated to be the fastest growing segment of the 1,4-Butanediol market during the forecast period. The usage of bio-based BDO is getting higher due to environmental regulations. The rising government regulations regarding the ban on conventional plastics and global warming initiatives are expected to drive the demand for bio-based 1,4-Butanediol across the world.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest market for 1,4-Butanediol during the forecast period, in terms of value.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest market for BDO during the forecast period. The usage of BDO is increasing extensively in the automotive industry. With the growing utilization of BDO, particularly in electric vehicle developments, most of the players are expanding their production capacities of 1,4-Butanediol. This is considered a major driving factor for the BDO market.
