H1 2023: Butyraldehyde’s largest consuming region was the Asia Pacific region in H1 2023. This region witnessed fluctuations in the Butyraldehyde prices during H1 2023. Butyraldehyde prices increased steadily during till mid-Feb 2023 due to steady demand from the downstream industries. Although, prices for butyraldehyde sharply declined in March due to gloomy consumer demand and ample supply in the Asian market. Limited fresh orders from the end-user supported the bearish market scenario. Butyraldehyde prices decreased in the Indian market during April as a result of hazy demand from the downstream paints and coatings, agrochemical business, combined with adequate stockpiles. Additionally, supply was constant. The import inflows from exporting nations like China increased the price of butyraldehyde in the Indian market in May, but then declined in June. On the other hand, in the US, Butyraldehyde prices rose in Jan 2023 as a result of high feedstock price. However, butyraldehyde prices fell in the middle of Feb 2023 as a result of decreased buying activity. Due to weak demand from end-user sectors, operating rates were kept in check. generally, while there are enough inventories to meet demand. Butyraldehyde prices rose slightly in March as a result of significant inflationary pressure. From April-June, prices laid low in the US market owing to dwindled consumption by the downstream chemical sectors.
The global Butyraldehyde market stood at approximately 4400 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period until 2032. The use of its derivatives in numerous end-use industries, including the paints & coatings and chemical industries, is credited with driving the growth of the butyraldehyde market.
Butyraldehyde is a white liquid with an unpleasant odour. The oxy procedure is a typical way to synthesize butyraldehyde. In the process, hydrogen, propylene, and carbon monoxide interact. Acting as a catalyst is rhodium. In the chemical sector, butyraldehyde is used as a raw material to make 2-ethylhexanol, n-butanol, polyvinyl butyral, and trimethylolpropane. Additionally, it can be used in plasticizers, synthetic resins, fragrances, insecticides, and crop protection goods. Butyraldehyde is the major feedstock for producing n-Butanol which is used captively. Merchant sale is limited globally.
Butyraldehyde is mainly employed in the chemical sector to manufacture n-Butanol. Due to the significant demand from paints and coatings applications in numerous end-user sectors, n-butanol is expected to dominate the market in the forthcoming years. The manufacturing of acrylates, which are then used to create paints and coatings, adhesives, textiles, and other products, uses n-butanol as one of its ingredients. Demand for such items from various end-user industries is expected to rise, pulling demand from all points along the value chain and propelling market expansion. Due to the demand for paints and coatings in the building and industrial coating industries, production is gradually rising on the global market. The global Butyraldehyde market is anticipated to touch roughly 6800 thousand tonnes by 2032.
Asia Pacific region is the leading consumer of the Butyraldehyde market. This is the region with the largest market share and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the projection period. Positive trends for paints and coatings in China and India as a result of rising investment in the building industry are the main drivers of the Asia-Pacific market. The public and private sectors' increased focus on affordable housing could propel the paints and coatings industry's expansion in the developing nations like India.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Butyraldehyde market is segmented N-Butanol, 2-Ethylhexanol
Polyvinyl Butyral, and Others. However, N-Butanol is the major segment and held about 46% of the global Butyraldehyde market in 2022. The growing use of n-Butanol as a solvent for dyes in printing inks and paints & coatings is likely to propel the expansion of this segment.
Major players in the Global Butyraldehyde market are BASF SE, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Eastman Chemical Company, KH Neochem Co., Ltd, Perstop Holding AB, OXEA-Chemicals, Grupa Azoty ZAK S.A, Xiamen Hisunny, Neostar United, and Beijing Yunbang Biosciences.
