Butylene Carbonate Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2026
Butylene
carbonate is an organic compound containing double ester group as
well as carbonate as a functional group. It widely used as polar
solvent in organic and inorganic materials, inks, colors,
agriculture, fibers, surfactants, dyes, and batteries. Additionally,
butylene carbonate is employed as binder for foundry sand molds,
gallant for clay, crosslinking agent for superabsorbent polymers, and
additive in fuel and hydraulic fluids. It is also used for the
separation of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and aromatic
hydrocarbon in refinery operations. Butylene carbonate is extensively
used in components of electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries due to
its high polarity, solubility, and boiling point.

Report Overview @
The
global butylene carbonate market can be segmented based on form and
end-user. In terms of form, the market can be bifurcated into solid
and liquid. In terms of end-user, the market can be divided into
automotive, oil & gas, industrial, medical, and personal care &
hygiene. Automotive is the leading segment of the butylene carbonate
market. Rise in demand for electric vehicles and consumer electronics
is boosting the demand for lithium-ion batteries. This, in turn, is
propelling the global butylene carbonate market. Lithium-ion
batteries are rechargeable and require less recharging vis-Ã -vis
their counterparts such as lead batteries, which require high
recharging time. Increase in demand for electrolytes with better
efficacy and light weight batteries is driving the demand for
butylene carbonate.
Rise
in demand for environmentally-safer solvents in various end-user
industries such as oil & gas, automotive, and chemical is also
augmenting the global butylene carbonate market. Butylene carbonate
is an environmentally-safer solvent compared to methylene chloride,
acetone, and aromatic solvents. It possesses excellent solvency
properties, low VOC, low toxicity, low evaporation rates, and high
boiling points. Thus, it is ideal for usage in many solvent
applications. Fluctuation in prices of raw materials is expected to
hamper the butylene carbonate market during the forecast period.
However, rise in demand for hybrid solvents is anticipated to provide
lucrative opportunities to manufacturers during the forecast period.
In
terms of region, the global butylene carbonate market can be
segregated into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America,
and Middle East & Africa. In terms of consumption, Asia Pacific
dominates the market. It is followed by Europe. China is the leading
consumer of butylene carbonate in Asia Pacific. Increase in demand
for electric cars in China and South Korea; and rise in demand for
automotive coatings in developing economies in Asia Pacific are
estimated to boost the demand for butylene carbonate in the region
during the forecast period. Implementation of stringent regulations
on fossil fuel depletion is also propelling the demand for electric
cars in North America and Europe.
This
is driving the demand for lithium batteries, and in turn, butylene
carbonate in these regions. Germany is a hub of the automotive
industry. Butylene carbonate is used in various end-user industries
the country due to its properties such as high viscosity index,
better thermal resistance, and optimum performance in wide rage on
temperatures. This is augmenting the market in Europe. The market in
Middle East & Africa and Latin America is expanding at slower
pace compared to mature economies. GCC, Brazil, Mexico, and South
Africa are dependent on import of raw materials for manufacturing
butylene carbonate and automotive. Increase in merger &
acquisition activities among automotive manufacturers in regions such
as GCC and Mexico is projected to fuel the demand for butylene
carbonate in the near future.
