n-Butanol is an alcohol that is produced through petrochemical processes, but can also be produced, like ethanol, through fermentation of sugars derived from corn and agricultural crops. n-butanol is sold primarily as a chemical and is used to produce high value resins and specialty solvents used in a wide variety of formulated products, from paints and coatings to cosmetics and fragrances, to adhesives and inks, and even food flavours and extracts. Moreover, it is also used in plastics and polymers, brake fluids, lubricants, synthetic rubber, fire retardants, and many other applications.

n-Butanol Market Outlook

The n- butanol markets has a developing potential owing to the wide industrial application such as automotive, construction and agrochemicals as solvents, ink, paints and adhesives. Moreover, rising disposable income, rapid industrialization and increasing investment of many major players in the market fuels the market growth. However, increasing prices of raw material, shortage of raw material and environment regulations pertaining to n-Butanol may hinder the growth of the market. One of the major trends anticipated to boost the market during the forecast period is the development of bio-butanol for industrial applications.
