The India Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) market is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR of 5.69% by FY2030. Increasing the use of MTBE in gasoline blending to increase fuel efficacy is expected to spur the demand for MTBE over the coming years in India.

Methyl tert-butyl ether or Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH3)3COCH3. MTBE is a flammable, volatile, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water. MTBE is manufactured by the reaction of Methanol and Isobutene over a catalyst. Hence, its demand and supply are directly linked to the availability of Methanol in the domestic market. As Methanol is produced in small amounts due to the unavailability of Natural Gas, an abundant quantity of Methanol is imported from the international market to meet up with the production in India. Demand for MTBE in India is mainly due to the growing consumption of gasoline in automotive and in machinery for generating electricity.

The rising demand for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) in the petroleum sector, which is used as an additive for enhancing the octane number of gasoline for better combustion is primarily driving the MTBE market. Methyl t-butyl ether has been employed as a cholesterol-lowering medication to dissolve gallstones, which is another market-driving factor of MTBE. Moreover, high-purity polyisobutylene, extremely reactive polyisobutylene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and a few other minor derivatives can be produced using MTBE, thus creating a bigger demand for MTBE across the nation.

Based on region, the Indian Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In the historic period of FY2015-FY2022, West India has been dominating the market. West India has been the frontrunner in the consumption of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) for a variety of uses due to the presence of significant industries and ease of shipping with the allocation of shipping ports in states like Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Based on end-use, the India Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) market is segregated into Gasoline Blending, Chemical Intermediates, Medical, and Others. Gasoline Blending is dominating the MTBE market with an estimated market share of 75% in FY2022. The automobile industry uses MTBE in industrial engines to facilitate the complete combustion of the fuel, which reduces engine knocking and elongates the service life of the machinery.

Major players in the India Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) market are Nayara Energy, Reliance Industries, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. Global players include SABIC, ENOC Company, Enterprise Products Partners L.P., Evonik Industries AG, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Huntsman Corporation and others.
