The tert butanol market is projected to reach US$ 6,149.11 million by 2028 from US$ 4,955.64 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% from 2021 to 2028.
Tert butanol is produced commercially as a byproduct of isobutane during the propylene oxide production. Tert-butanol is used as a chemical intermediate in a variety of products. Further, it is primarily used as a solvent in various applications. It is also used as a paint remover, alcohol denaturant, and so on. Tert butanol is also used as an alkylating agent for aromatics and phenols, resulting in tert-butyl aromatics and tert-butyl esters, which are used as precursors in the synthesis of antioxidants, phenolic resins, pharmaceutical products, and perfumes. Europe is anticipated to hold the largest share of the tert butanol market during the forecast period. The increased demand for automotive refinish performance and architectural coatings is bolstering the demand for tert butanol in the automotive and construction paint and coating industries in the region. Further, consumer preference for masking flavors that are used in conjunction with antioxidants and vitamins to reduce off-tastes and off-odors is also boosting the demand for tert butanol in Europe. A rise in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure, increased popularity of niche fragrances, and surge in demand for premium fragrances, particularly in Western Europe, would continue to drive the tert butanol market growth in the region during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemicals and industrial sectors, and consequently hindered the growth of the tert butanol market. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has aggravated the situation. The sudden distortion in operational efficiencies and disruptions in value chains due to sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries have hampered the performance of the flavors and fragrances, paints and coatings, and pharmaceuticals industries, among others. Further, the pandemic also led to discontinuations in product orders and deliveries, along with cancellations and order backlogs. The significant decline in the growth of several sectors has led to lowered demand for tert butanol. However, the compound is gradually emerging as a preferred freeze desiccant in the biomedicals industry. Moreover, continuous surge in research activities necessitates the preservation of vaccines, blood samples, purified proteins, and many other biological materials, which is contributing to the tert butanol market growth. Tert-butanol is a solvent with high vapor pressure, and low toxicity and melting point, and it is a trending freeze-drying agent. Nevertheless, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for tert butanol is expected to rise globally. However, the focus on just-in-time production is another concerning factor hindering the market growth.
