Global Tetrahydrofuran Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Location, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End Use, Regional Demand, Sales Channel, Company Share, Foreign Trade, Industry Market Size, Manufacturing Process, 2015-2032
Tetrahydrofuran demand stood at 1.56 Million Tonnes in 2022 and is forecast to reach 2.32 Million Tonnes by 2032, growing at a healthy CAGR of 4.05% until 2032.
Tetrahydrofuran is an organic compound. It is majorly used as a solvent for plastics and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The major applications of Tetrahydrofuran are polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) and solvents. PTMEG is used in the manufacturing of spandex and other polyurethanes. Major end-use industries for Tetrahydrofuran include polymer, textile, pharmaceutical, paints and coatings, and others. Growing demand for spandex and paints and coatings coupled with the increasing demand of other end-use industries is expected to drive the demand for Tetrahydrofuran for the forecast period. Tetrahydrofuran is manufactured through several processes therefore, it can be segmented by technology as reppe process, davy process, propylene oxide process, butadiene process. Among the processes, the reppe process leads the global market for Tetrahydrofuran due to its industrial viability and low cost. Stringent environmental regulations and high manufacturing costs coupled with the increasing need for green solvents are expected to hinder demand growth during the forecast period.
In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 in major global economies caused nationwide lockdowns which had an impact on several industries. Construction and textile were among the most affected industries during the pandemic. This had an impact on the demand for paints and coatings and spandex for the first half of 2020. Therefore, the demand for Tetrahydrofuran fell during the coronavirus pandemic from the paints and coatings and textile segment. However, a speedy recovery was witnessed in the demand for Tetrahydrofuran since the resumption of industrial operations and construction activities after the relaxation in the lockdown restrictions in the latter half of 2020.
Region-wise, Asia-Pacific region holds the major share of global demand for Tetrahydrofuran due to the increasing demand of application industries such as paints and coatings, and textiles. Moreover, an increasing number of polymers using Tetrahydrofuran as solvent is also an influencing factor supporting demand rise in the Asia-Pacific.
Major players for Tetrahydrofuran globally include BASF, Dairen Chemical, Ashland, INVISTA, Mitsubishi Chemical, LyondellBasell, Sipchem, Penn A Kem, Nova Molecular Technologies, and BioAmber.
