Know More About “Isobutanol Market 2014-2022” Growth Worldwide…..|Grand View Research, Inc.
The global isobutanol
market is expected to reach USD 1.18 billion by 2022, according to
a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing isobutanol demand across
various end-use industries such as oil & gas and chemical intermediates is
expected to drive its demand over the forecast period. Emergence of isobutanol
as a platform chemical for producing isobutyl esters has also helped in market
penetration. Intrinsic properties associated with isobutanol such as medium
volatility and limited miscibility is expected to positively impact market
growth.
Synthetic isobutanol was the largest
product segment and accounted for 58.1% of total market volume in 2014.
Bio-based Isobutanol is expected to witness the highest growth of 7.0% from
2015 to 2022. Growing environmental and toxicity concerns coupled with high
rate of commercialization of bio-based isobutanol at cheaper prices may be
attributed towards product demand. Bio-based isobutanol is extensively being
used in renewable jet fuels that provide low carbon footprints and cleaner
burning.
Global isobutanol market size was
estimated at 552.4 kilo tons in 2014. It is used as a raw material for the
production of various chemicals including cleaners & coating solvents,
isobutyl esters, extractant for pharmaceutical products, textiles, cleaners
& polish additive, gasoline additive, agricultural chemicals, and biofuel.
Intrinsic properties associated with the product including limited miscibility
and medium volatility is expected to drive its demand over the forecast period.
The chemical has also emerged as a
major platform chemical for producing isobutyl acetate. Isobutyl acetate is
widely used in the production of coatings and as a flavoring agent in food
industry. Growing processed foods industry in various emerging economies
including China, Brazil, India, and Mexico is anticipated to drive isobutyl
acetate demand. This factor, in turn, is projected to have a positive effect on
isobutanol market growth.

In
the recent years, research has established that isobutanol is a feasible
alternative solution to gasoline due to the its composition with energy.
Several companies operational in the ecosystem of isobutanol have concluded
that isobutanol is a next-generation biofuel that can cater a widespread array
of applications.
Chemical
intermediates were the largest application segment and accounted for over 45%
of total market volume in 2014. The segment is anticipated to witness rapid
growth over next seven years on account of rising requirement of these
intermediate chemicals in various end-use industries including automotive and
construction.
Oil
& gas is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period
owing to rising jet fuels and other downstream products demand such as diesel
and gasoline. Low crude oil prices in the recent past have revived high
performance gasoline and diesel demand which is further estimated to steer
growth in the segment over the next few years. The segment is anticipated to
grow at an estimated CAGR of 7.2% from 2015 to 2022.
