Quarterly Update on Global Iso Butanol Market

For the Quarter Ending September 2020

Asia

The Asian Iso Butanol sentiments took a driver’s seat in the third quarter as end use industries resumed production with few operating at their maximum capacities under hopes of recovering the loss incurred in the previous quarter due to the coronavirus contagion. Consistent revival in values of the upstream crude also contributed well towards uplifting the market fundamentals in the region. As several countries in Asia primarily cater to their domestic demands through imports, trade constraints from Europe resulted in supply shortage.

North America

The North American Iso Butanol market witnessed promising gains in the third quarter with revival in demand from rubber sector. However, the production cuts implemented in many petrochemical plants in the region due to the fear of Hurricane Laura which has dragged the export potential of the leading producers pushing their revenues lower in comparison to the previous quarter. Traders are buoyant over increased purchasing from the eastern countries in early October on stock piling of Iso Butanol to abate the supply shortage ahead of China’s National Day holiday in October.

Middle East

Import demand for the middle east petrochemicals largely improved in the third quarter with increased production from the end use industries on revival in market activities after coronavirus plateaued in majority of economies throughout the world. Firming values of upstream crude further provided support to margins of derivatives such as Iso Butanol following strong market dynamics in Asian and European countries. However, curtailed production due to maintenance outages in few of the plants exerted a downward pressure on the export revenues.

About

Iso Butanol is an organic compound with a characteristic odor and flammable and medium boiling characteristic. Iso Butanol for commercial purpose is commonly produced by hydrogenation of Isobutyraldehyde or carbonylation of Propylene within a continuous reactor. The compound is actively utilized as a chemical intermediate for organic synthesis and as a high-quality solvent for coating applications. Iso Butanol is ideal for viscosity reduction of many chemical formulations while it simultaneously maintains the flow and levelling of materials. The supreme properties of Iso Butanol make it a perfect solvent for lacquers and ambient-cured enamels. The product also finds high consummation as an etherification alcohol to produce amino resins for physical-drying and baking finishes.
