Global Butyl Glycol Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, 2015-2035

The global Butyl Glycol market stood around 840 thousand tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.92% during the forecast period until 2035.

Butyl Glycol is an organic solvent with a chemical formula of C6H14O2. Ethylene oxide reacts with alcohol like butanol in the presence of a catalyst to form butyl glycol. This process is known as ethoxylation. Butyl Glycol appears as a colorless liquid and is miscible with water and other solvents. Butyl Glycol has low volatility making it a popular solvent in the paint industry. Other applications of butyl Glycol include usage as an ingredient of drilling and cutting oils, inks, cleaners, resins, lubricants, production of butyl glycol acetate, and as a precursor for producing plasticizers.

The primary market driving factor for the Butyl Glycol market is the production of paints coatings, and inks. Because of the advantageous properties of Butyl Glycol, including low volatility and high miscibility, butyl glycol is being used in a variety of paint and coating applications as a solvent and coupling agent. It is widely used in the production of paints to speed up drying time and ensures smooth coat of the paint on the surface. In 2021, the Paints Coatings & Inks industry consumed about 50% of the total Butyl Glycol market. With rapid industrialization, the demand of paints and coatings for architectural applications is anticipated to swell the demand of Butyl Glycol in the forecast period. The total global Butyl Glycol market demand is expected to reach around 1400 thousand tonnes by 2035 with a CAGR of 3.92%.
