Bio-butanol Market: By Raw Material,  By Application, and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Bio-butanol Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Raw Material (Sweet Sorghum Bagasse, Sugar Cane Straw, Sugar Beet Pulp, Rice Straw, Wheat Straw, Hardwood, Corn Fiber, Waste Paper, and Others),  By Application (Bio-Fuel, Acrylates, Solvents, Plasticizers, Acetates, Glycol Ethers, and Others), and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Bio-butanol market size was valued at US$ 15,207.6 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.4 % from 2024-2030. The bio-butanol or butyl alcohol is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based butane, produced through the fermentation of biomass feedstocks such as sugar cane, corn, wheat, and other agricultural residues. Bio-butanol has several uses in a variety of sectors and demonstrates chemical characteristics that are comparable to those of regular butanol. The bio-butanol market has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential as a renewable fuel which has an edge over conventional petroleum-based fuels in terms of creating a cleaner environment.

Moreover, ongoing research and development efforts in bio-butanol production technologies create opportunities for process optimization, and scalability the bio-butanol market. However, Production cost of bio-butanol and its scale-up challenges limit the bio-butanol production hence hamper the growth of the bio-butanol market. A large number of market participants collaborate, invest in, and develop new products to expand the bio-butanol market. For instance, in May 2021, PPG industries announced the completion of a $13 million investment at a Jiading, China paint and coatings facility that will augment PPG’s research and development capabilities.

Key Developments

  • In July 2022, the world’s largest manufacturer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from waste and residue raw materials, Neste, bought Walco Foods to strengthen its sourcing of renewable raw materials.
  • In September 2021, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and Gevo, Inc., announced a collaboration to co-invest in the construction and operation of one or more new facilities that would process inedible maize to produce sustainable aviation fuel, which can reduce the lifecycle carbon intensity of fuels used in the aviation industry.
