H1 2023: The prominent players in the Iso Butanol market in H1 2023 were BASF SE, Highlands EnviroFuels, LLC, INEOS Group Limited, and Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Co, Ltd. In terms of location, Asia Pacific consumed the most Iso Butanol in H1 2023. In the first four months of 2023, the Iso Butanol market remained optimistic in the Asian nations. Due to the high demand for the product from the downstream Paint and coating sectors, the Iso Butanol demand in the Asia Pacific region increased. With improvements in trading fundamentals, the demand for iso-butanol remained high. The prices slightly decreased towards the end of March 2023 as ample stocks constrained the trading fundamentals. A strong demand from the downstream Paint and coating industry was observed in April in China. Major Iso Butanol producers in China found it difficult to meet consumer demand due to the rise in feedstock propylene prices and restricted supply from exporting nations. At the end of May 2023, Iso Butanol prices fell in China and remained low till the end of H1 2023. In the US, Isobutanol prices varied throughout H1 2023. However, Iso-Butanol's price in the US dramatically surged in March 2023. It was due to the strong demand from downstream industries to meet rising industrial demand. With insufficient stockpiles in the ports, downstream Paint and coating industries had to purchase isobutanol at steep prices. The iso-butanol market was at the lower end in March following increased demand for premium cargo shipments of iso-butanol from the United States to the South American region. April saw a sudden decline in the price of iso-butanol due to a decline in demand from US downstream coating sectors. Additionally, poor trading activity for iso-butanol in the US market was caused by high product inventories and deteriorating market fundamentals. However, Iso Butanol prices began to rise from mid-May 2023 in the US.
The global Iso Butanol market reached approximately 650 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.05% during the forecast period until 2032.
Iso Butanol is used as a chemical intermediate in a variety of chemical processes and industries. It is commonly used to make isobutyl acetate, isobutyl methacrylate, and other compounds. Iso Butanol is utilised as a solvent and as a feedstock in chemical reactions. Pure Iso Butanol is mostly transformed into derivates (mainly esters) that are used as solvents in the coating industry. Iso Butanol has the advantage of preventing blushing of certain coatings when they dry in humid conditions. As a result, it is commonly employed as a diluent in cellulose nitrate lacquers, where it improves flow and shine. Iso Butanol's versatility and critical significance in chemical industries' production processes have cemented its position as the market's major application segment. Iso Butanol is also employed in the plasticizer industry for the manufacturing of derivative esters. Plasticizer agents containing isobutyl esters, such as diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), are utilized in manufacturing plastics, rubbers, and other dispersions. Other applications include polishers and cleansers, as well as gasoline additives for spark-ignition engines to help avoid carburetor ice. It is employed in the manufacture of organic chemicals as a chemical extractant and as a mobile phase in thin layer chromatography. Additionally, it is employed as an extraction solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, a component of anti-icing blends, and an anti-corrosive additives.
The Iso Butanol market is likely to be driven by the Solvent & Coatings industry in the forecast period. Iso Butanol is a major ingredient in coatings and solvents used in the building and construction industries. Building and construction operations are expanding rapidly over the world as the world's population grows. Iso Butanol demand is likely to thus rise with the increased investment in building and construction activities in the future. Other factors like, the growing need for Iso Butanol in the manufacturing of chemical intermediates such as isobutyl acetate and derivative esters also support market expansion. The global Iso Butanol market is expected to reach nearly 1050 thousand tonnes by 2032.
Based on consumption, Asia Pacific dominates the Iso Butanol market. This region consumed nearly 45% of the worldwide Iso Butanol market in 2022 and is expected to maintain its position as leader in the coming years. Because of rising demand for Iso Butanol to produce paints and coatings which are further used in in the automotive and construction sectors, Asia Pacific is likely to dominate the global Iso Butanol market. Increased urbanisation and buying activities are also driving the Asia Pacific Iso Butanol market. Developing nations like India are investing a lot of funds in building and construction projects including smart cities, commercial complexes, and residential buildings, which is likely to help the Iso Butanol market growth in future.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Iso Butanol market is segmented into Solvent & Coatings, Plasticizer, Chemical Intermediates, and Others. Although, Solvent & Coatings industry is dominating the Iso Butanol market and held a share of roughly 50% in 2022. Another significant end-user of Iso Butanol market is the Plasticizer industry.
