Global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Foreign Trade, Company Share, 2015-2032

The global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market has expanded to reach approximately 280 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.08% during the forecast period until 2032. The 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market's primary driver is the expanding demand for plastic products in the packaging sector with industrialization across the globe.

2-Ethylhexanoic acid is a thick and colorless oil. It is obtained in racemic mixed form. Propylene is used as a precursor during industrial production to synthesize 2-ethylhexanoic acid. The liquid has a light odour and belongs to the carboxylic acid family. This acid is frequently used to synthesize metal derivatives that are lipophilic and soluble in organic nonpolar solvents. It is primarily employed as a chemical intermediary in the production of medicines, polyvinylchloride (PVC) stabilizers, plasticizers, paint driers, and artificial lubricants. The primary use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid is in the metallic salts (cobalt and manganese), which are driers for unscented paints & coatings, inks, varnishes, and enamels.

The primary driving factor influencing the market is the rising demand for paints & coatings which are utilized by various industries such as automotive, building & construction, and the metal industry. With the rapid growth of population and spontaneous urbanization, the global consumption of paints & coatings will most likely rise in various industries, which will most likely favor the market growth of 2- ethylhexanoic acid. The global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market is anticipated to reach 380 thousand tonnes by 2032.

As of 2022, based on region-wise consumption, Asia Pacific dominates the 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market with a consumption of approximately 42% of the market. 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid as a PVB plasticizer, offers great transparency, long durability, a high tensile strength, and elasticity. Due to growing demand of usage of PVB films and sheets in the infrastructure and building & construction end-use in developing countries like India, China, and Japan, the 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid is most likely to expand in the forecast period till 2032. Moreover, Asia Pacific also dominates as the producer of the global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market owing to the presence of low-cost of labor and raw material in countries like Malaysia is the key player.

Based on the end-use, the global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market is segregated into Paints and Coatings, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Lubricants, Plasticizers, and Others. Paints and Coatings have been the leading segment among these industries. In 2022, the Paints and Coatings industry consumed approximately 35% of the market. Coatings are utilized in a variety of industries such as automotive, furniture, marine, aerospace, and general-use sector. Furthermore, Personal Care and Cosmetics are other prominent consumer of the 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid market.

Major players in the production of Global 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid are BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn. Bhd., The Perstorp Group, BASF, The Eastman Chemical Company, Elekeiroz, JXDC Chemical CO.,LTD., KH Neo Chem, Co. Ltd., and others.
