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.
