2017-2021 Global 1, 3 Propanediol Market Outlook in Comparison to 2022-2032 Growth Forecast

The 1, 3 propanediol market is used as building blocks in the production of polymers like PTT i.e. polytrimethylene terephthalate, as it is a colorless viscous liquid and is soluble in water. 1, 3 propanediol is used as a thermoplastic and an engineering plastic and is used as an intermediate in the production of engineering plastics like PU and PTT. The increasing demand from the end-user industry of engineering plastics is likely to support the demand for 1, 3 propanediol market during the forecast years of 2022-2032.

Companies associated with 1, 3 propanediol market are looking to expand their polyurethane production across the regions attributed to the escalating demand. Key players are focusing on enhancing their production capacities

1, 3 propanediol market is used as composites, adhesives, laminates, coatings, and moldings. Moreover, the polyester yarns and fabrics made from PBT, PET, and PTT fibers are mainly used for engineering applications like mobile phone housings, automotive parts, consumer products etc. In addition to this, the rising production of engineering plastics and of PU made with propanediol market is likely to drive the 1, 3 propanediol market over the forecast period of 2022-2032.

Fact.MR projects the 1, 3 propanediol market is expected to witness exhibiting growth at 11.5% CAGR during 2022 and 2032 in comparison to a CAGR of 8.5% with which it grew from 2017 and 2021.

High Demand for Environment Friendly, Bio-Based Products to Fuel Market Demand

Consumers globally are preferring bio-based products. The companies are innovating and marketing sustainable products owing to the enhanced government regulations, rising awareness of consumers, coupled with the depletion of conventional sources. Thus, bio-based PDO utilizing renewable feedstock like crude glycerin and corn sugar is expected to be in great demand, thereby making it more sustainable. Therefore, the escalating demand for eco-friendly, bio-based products is estimated to support market demand by 1.3X of current levels during the forecast period of 2022-2032.

Moreover, the 1, 3 propanediol is also finding its enhanced application in feedstock, which is likely to lead the increase in production and consumption of propanediol in coming years. Thus, the growing use of propanediol as feedstock in multiple applications is expected to drive the growth of the 1, 3 propanediol market in coming years.

Availability of Substitutes at Comparatively Lower Cost to restrain Market Growth

Petroleum based glycols like butylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerin are being replaced by 1, 3 propanediol. The low cost availability of these products than propanediol to be used in personal care and cleaning products, cosmetics, pharmaceutical & dietary supplements, food & flavor applications etc. is restraining market growth by 0.4X over the years. In addition to this, the advancement of bio-based propanediol is difficult in countries with no regulations concerning the adoption of bio-based products in multiple end-use industries.

The Lack of Awareness about Benefits of 1, 3-PDO in Industrial Applications to Represent Significant Challenges for the Market

The use of 1, 3 propanediol is very limited to personal care products, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products in developing and emerging economies. Moreover, consumers are not fully aware of the application and benefits of 1, 3 propanediol in applications in food & flavors etc. Thus, this lack of awareness is likely to create challenges in the growth of 1, 3 propanediol market over the assessment period of 2022-2032.
