Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) Market Expected to Retain Dominance & Grow at an Encouraging CAGR to 2023

 Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) or mono-isobutyl ketone is a liquid manufactured by aldol condensation of acetone and its intermediates. The global methyl isobutyl ketone market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) estimates the market size, market revenue share. and segment projections for the period of 2017 to 2023 (forecast period). Analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on production are discussed thoroughly in the report with suggestive measure to ensure a constant flow.

Market Scope

The global methyl isobutyl ketone market is expected to touch a stupendous valuation by owing to the demand for MIKB solvent in coatings, adhesives, and paints. Its compatibility with organic material makes it a desired chemical for various formulations for solvents. The large construction budget for development of buildings and surrounding infrastructure by governments and private firms can drive its demand exponentially. This is supported by the rise in per capita income levels and rapid industrialization in urban and metropolitan areas.

The huge demand from the agrochemical sector is likely to bode well for the global MIKB market.  This can be credited to its use as a denaturant, chemical intermediate, and solvent. Furthermore, manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products can fuel the market growth as well.

Regulations on its use in formulation by federal bodies can pose a challenge to the market. High prices of acetone feedstock can negatively impact the market and shoot up the prices of MIBK.
