1,3-Propanediol Market 2021 Executive Summary, Segmentation Forecast to 2030

 1,3-Propanediol Market

1, 3-propanediol a class of specialty compounds is a colorless liquid, which is miscible in water. It is mainly used as a feedstock in the production of various chemicals and materials. It finds its applications in the production of polyurethane, polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), cosmetics & personal care, and household cleaners. It is also known for niche applications like engine coolants, de-icing fluid, and heat transfer fluid, among others.

Over the past few years, the 1, 3-propanediol market is growing rapidly, witnessing a massive demand across major end-use industries. Moreover, the growing demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) is a key factor propelling the growth of the market. According to a leading research firm, Market Research Future (MRFR), the global 1, 3-Propanediol market is expected to garner significantly by 2023. MRFR also asserts that the market would register a CAGR over 9% throughout the forecast period (2017–2023).

Glycerol, a by-product of the biodiesel production process, is used as a prominent raw material in the production of 1, 3-propanediol. As a result, the growing production of biodiesel would positively impact the growth of the global 1, 3-propanediol market. The augmented demand from the burgeoning automotive & packaging industry drives the market growth predominantly.

Furthermore, the fluctuating prices and demand-supply gap in the crude oil and the growing environmental regulations foster the growth of the market, driving investment in R&D activities for the production of bio-based 1, 3-propanediol. 1, 3-propanediol is an FDA certified a bio-based product that can be used in many applications, such as coatings, functional & de-icing fluid, cosmetic & personal care, home care, polymers, and fibers among others, which, in turn, push the market up.
