The global bio-butanol market size is expected to reach USD 29.37 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Bio-butanol market is expected to witness significant growth in the next seven years owing to rising need for bio-based chemicals in place of petroleum based chemicals owing to their similar material characteristics, in addition to lower carbon footprints.
Tight raw material supply on account of food consumption being primary focus of corn and sugarcane is expected to be a major concern over the forecast period. Bio-butanol can be used as a drop-in replacement to petroleum-based butanol in all its applications. Depleting petroleum resources coupled with volatile oil prices has contributed towards the increasing need for bio-butanol.
Glycol ethers are expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2030, in terms of revenue. Rising demand for glycol ethers on account of their various applications including solvents in liquid soaps, cosmetics, cleaning compounds, resins, paints, perfume and inks is expected to fuel growth in the next seven years.
