QYResearch: The global production of the 1,3-butylene Glycol reaches 21014 MT in 2016
1,3-butylene glycol (also known as butane-1,3-diol, or 1,3-dihydroxybutane) is a diol used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of polyester plasticizers and other products. It finds some use as a solvent for flavorings and as a humectant in pet foods, tobacco and cosmetics. It is one of four stable structural isomers of butanediol. In biology, 1,3-butylene glycol is used as a hypoglycaemic agent. 1,3-butylene glycol can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate and serve as a substrate for brain metabolism.
The 1,3-butylene glycol industry develops stably in the recent years. The global production of the 1,3-butylene Glycol reaches from 18344 MT in 2012 to 21014 MT in 2016;with the GAGR of 3.46%.
According to QYResearch, The global production market is concentrated in Japan and USA, Europe. The Japan region accounts about 49.25% share of the global production, followed by USA (about 27.42%) and Europe (23.31%) in 2016.
The consumption of China, USA, Europe and Japan were 8.59%, 22.58%, 18.16% and 25.25%, Japan is the main export region in the world.
There will be some 1,3-butylene Glycol manufacturers in China in the future, if the demand technology and policy meet the favorable change, even a project had been turned out by a company named Jilin DOT, but it has no 1,3-butylene Glycol product at present according to our survey.
Although sales of 1,3-butylene Glycol brought a lot of opportunities, the study group recommends the new entrants who just having money but without technical advantage and downstream support, do not to enter into the 1,3-butylene Glycol field hastily.
