1,3 Propanediol Market Size To Reach $799.3 Million By 2030

1,3 Propanediol Market Growth & Trends

The global 1,3 propanediol market size is anticipated to reach USD 799.7 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for the product can be attributed to the rising demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate from various end-use industries, such as personal care, cosmetics, and cleaning products.

Changing customer preferences toward bio-based products are expected to drive the global market. The growing acceptance of bio-based products across diverse end-use industries is presumed to complement the market growth further. Companies are focusing on increasing the renewable content in their products for various reasons. The need to reduce carbon emissions and create more sustainable products has increased the demand for bio-based products.

The bio-based segment dominated the global market in 2023 and accounted for a revenue share of 55.9% of the overall market. The production from biomass imparts distinct characteristics, making it an attractive option for eco-conscious industries. It reduces reliance on finite fossil resources and mitigates environmental impact by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing dependency on petrochemical feedstocks.

The polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) segment dominated the global market in 2023 and accounted for a revenue share of 67.5% of the overall market. This is attributable to the product’s exceptional characteristics, such as resilience, stain resistance, and environmental sustainability. PTT is used as a crucial polymer in the formulation of various composites, adhesives, laminates, and moldings.
