1,4 Butanediol Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028
Market Overview:

The global 1,4 butanediol market size reached US$ 7.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, McKinsey & Well expects the market to reach US$ 10.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during 2023-2028.

1,4 butanediol (C4H10O2) is a colorless, oily, and viscous liquid with high solubility in water and other chemicals. It is a primary alcohol and an organic compound produced from petroleum-based substrates such as acetylene, butane, propylene, and butadiene. It is widely used in industrial settings as a solvent and in the manufacturing of some types of plastics, elastic fibers, and polyurethanes. 1,4 butanediol is also used as a raw material in both the organic and fine chemical industries for its excellent environmental characteristics and minimal health risks to workers. As a result, it finds extensive applications across the textile, automotive, chemical, electrical and electronics, papermaking, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries.

1,4 Butanediol Market Trends:
Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. 1,4 butanediol is widely used to produce polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) that allows weight reduction, shock absorption for bumpers, energy absorption, and improves tracking resistance for a range of high-voltage automotive components. In line with this, the widespread product utilization to manufacture polyurethane foams used in most vehicles' seats, armrests, and headrests, where their cushioning properties help reduce the fatigue and stress associated with driving, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the increasing product demand in the industrial sector to produce floor strippers, paint thinners, and other solvent goods is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, the introduction of bio-BDO (bio-butanediol) due to the increasing environmental concerns and depletion of non-renewable resources, such as natural gas and crude oil, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the rising product demand in the chemical sector to manufacture derivates, including tetrahydrofuran (THF), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), and polyurethane (PU), is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the widespread product utilization to replace illicit chemicals, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and increasing awareness regarding the processing and utility benefits of the product, are supporting the market growth.
