Pune, India, March 17, 2017 /MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future published a half cooked research report on 1, 4-Butanediol Market

Market Highlights

Global 1, 4-Butanediol Market is expected to grow with the CAGR 8.18 % of more than from 2016 to 2022, and with this it is predictable to cross USD 11.7 Billion by 2022. 1, 4-butanediol are used in various applications. THF is one of the butanediol derivatives. The properties of  THF are clear, colorless liquid, low viscosity and ether like odor owing to these properties it is used in pharmaceuticals, used in  block  for the production of poly-tetramethyl ether-glycol (PTMEG) for fiber yarns, which lends stretch ability to textiles. GBL has upright properties such as colorless liquid, high boiling point and low odor. It is soluble in alcohol and aromatic hydrocarbon, esters. Ethers, ketones and water as it is chemical intermediate is used in pharmaceutical and agriculture industries.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is the largest end use for butanediol, accounting for 49% of total consumption Tetrahydrofuran is the largest end use for butanediol, accounting for 49% of total consumption, according to MRFR analysis, Tetrahydrofuran most consumption is for the production of polytetramethylene glycol (PTMEG), which is used in the manufacture of cast and thermoplastic urethane elastomers, polyurethane fibers and high performance copolyester ether elastomers. In-addition it also used as a solvent in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride cements and coatings, in precision magnetic tape, and as a reaction solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals.     

One third of butanediol consumed worldwide goes into the manufacture of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resins. The automotive and electrical/electronic components industries are the leading consumers of PBT resins.  

The production of Gammabutyrolactone (GBL) accounts for 21% of butanediol production. Gammabutyrolactone (GBL) consumption is for the manufacture of NMP, which is used as a solvent in electronics, paint strippers, engineering resins, and others. GBL is also used in the manufacture of 2-pyrrolidone, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and polyvinylpyrrolidone.
