Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 03/04/2019 --Global Propanol Market: Snapshot

Propanol is a colorless alcohol typically available in two types of isomers: iso-propanol and n-propanol. Isopropanol was one of the first petrochemicals discovered in the '1960s. Isopropanol, also known as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or rubbing alcohol, is a colorless, flammable alcohol with a distinct odor. It is used in various applications such as cosmetics, personal care products, deicers, resins, paints, pharmaceuticals, inks, and adhesives, as also as a chemical intermediate to manufacture various chemicals such as methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), isopropyl esters, isopropyl amines, acetone, glycerol, and isopropyl acetates. N-propanol is a colorless oxo-alcohol widely used as a solvent in flexographic and other printing ink applications.

Growth in the chemicals, agriculture and cosmetics & personal care industry is likely to drive the global propanol market in the next few years. According to Transparency Market Research, the global propanol market, valued at US$2.19 bn in 2016, will exhibit a CAGR of 2.3% from 2017 to 2025 and rise to US$2.68 bn by 2025.

Use of Propanol as Solvent to Help Global Market Generate Maximum Revenue

In terms of applications, solvent was the dominant segment of the global propanol market, accounting for more than 49% of the global market in 2016. Expected to exhibit a CAGR of 2.3%, the segment of solvents is anticipated to remain the leading application segment for the global propanol market during the forecast period due to steady rise in demand from the global paints and coatings industry. However, it is expected to witness a small reduction in its share in the global market by the end of the forecast period owing to the sluggish growth of key end-use sectors such as printing ink.

Propanol is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of various industrial chemicals. It reacts with halogen to produce propyl halide, with ammonia to produce propylamines, and with acetic acid to produce propyl acetate, hence chemical intermediate is another key application segment of propanol market. This segment accounted for the second-leading share in the global propanol market in 2016 and is expected to retain its spot over the forecast period as well. The steady increase in demand from well-established chemical industries in developed and certain emerging economies will help the segment expand at a healthy pace over the forecast period.
