Global Butyraldehyde Industry: Investment Opportunities and Market Growth Projections
The global butyraldehyde market was worth US$ 200 Million in the year 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 360 Million by the year 2032 at a CAGR of 6% between 2022 and 2032. Butyraldehyde, better known as ‘Butanal’, comes across as a colorless liquid carrying a pungent smell. It is soluble in majority of organic solvents but not entirely soluble in water. Oxo process is a common method of producing butyraldehyde. Herein, carbon monoxide, propylene, and hydrogen react together. Rhodium acts as a catalyst. Butyraldehyde is actually used in the form of raw material for producing polyvinyl butyral, trimethylolpropane, 2-ethylhexanol, and n-butanol. Another application is that of an intermediate in the chemical vertical. It also finds its presence in crop protection products, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, synthetic resins, perfumes, and plasticizers. Butyraldehyde is mostly used in producing n-butanol. This could, in turn, be used in the form of solvent in the coatings vertical an...
