The fossil fuel-derived 2,3-Butanediol segment is projected to hold the largest market share of 64.1% by 2037 on account of its established manufacturing facilities and lower cost structure. Currently, the major production still involves the conventional methods that involve the use of acetylene or butadiene as the starting materials in large-scale industries. Being a fossil-derived chemical, 2,3-Butanediol is widely used in manufacturing synthetic rubber, solvents, and polymer intermediates, especially in the automotive, coatings, and adhesives industries. The reliability of supply and technical familiarity support its continued dominance, especially in regions with abundant fossil resources. Nonetheless, the pressure to reduce carbon emissions threatens its future growth as companies may consider hybrid systems or integrate bio-based options with conventional value chains.
APEJ is expected to account for 47.4% of the market through 2037, owing to the growth in the chemical industry, rising automotive production, and the growth of the pharma sector. In China, there is a high demand from downstream segments such as synthetic rubber and engineering plastics, which are boosting the capacity addition for both fossil-based and bio-based products. The country is also investing in biotechnological advancement that enables green chemistry in chemical production. The increase in the specialty chemicals market in India and the rising trend of import substitution is driving the demand for the domestic production of 2,3-Butanediol. As both countries move towards higher levels of industrial manufacturing, the region represents a large market for both bulk and specialty uses.
