2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Market - Future Demand and Growth Analysis with Forecast 2024

2-ethylhexanol is a high boiling point, low volatility solvent for fats, waxes, insecticides and dyes. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents and has emollient properties. It is primarily used to manufacture low volatility esters such as dioctyl phthalate. It is a key ingredient for manufacturing plasticizers, lubricants and other chemical products. It is industrially produced through aldol condensation of n-butyraldehyde, and subsequent hydrogenation of hydroxyaldehyde. It has applications in coatings and heavy metal industries. It is used as an octane booster when reacted with nitric acid. 2-ethylhexanol is a key feedstock for manufacturing a range of chemicals which is further used in industries such as construction, automotive and paints among others. It is used as a wetting agent in the textile industry. There is high demand for 2-ethylhexanol from the plasticizer manufacturing industry.
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Market: Drivers
Application of 2-ethylhexanol include plasticizers, 2-EH acrylate, 2-EH nitrate and others which are extensively used in various industries. Growing demand for chemicals across various industries is in turn, expected to drive the demand for 2-ethylhexanol. Additionally, stringent norms on industrial emissions are driving the demand for high performance fuels which in turn, is expected to augment 2-ethylhexanol nitrate production. Furthermore, growth in the coatings industry is anticipated to fuel the demand for 2-ethylhexanol in the near future. However, the declining trends of dioctyl phthalate may curb the demand for 2-ethylhexanol over the next few years. Furthermore, it is toxic to humans when exposed and results in dizziness, headache, throat irritation and sore eyes. Thus, regulations on the use of 2-ethylhexanol may hamper the market within the forecast period.
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Market: Region-wise Outlook
The 2-ethylhexanol market is expected to demonstrate substantial growth within the forecast period thanks largely to the promise shown by China – a country that is driving the demand not only in APAC but also worldwide. In 2012, Asia Pacific consumed 60% of the global production of this 2-EH.
Moreover, the rising demand for phthalate plasticizers in emerging economies such as China, Vietnam, India, and Indonesia may stimulate the demand for 2-ethylhexanol in the near future. Growing chemical industry applications have been the top growth enabler for demand in North America. In the region, the U.S. and Canada are seen as major contributors to demand and revenue. Europe follows North America in terms of demand for 2-ethylhexanol. The demand in these regions is driven by 2-ethylhexanol acrylate and 2-Ethylhexanol nitrate manufacturing segments, which are used in adhesives and paints. In Europe, the demand is dominated by 2-EH acrylate and 2-EH nitrate.

The Rest of the World market is forecast to show strong growth over in terms of demand through the report’s forecast period. This will be the result of the higher spending power of consumers in the Middle East and North Africa. Growth in the construction activities across the globe is pushing the demand for 2-ethylhexanol within the forecast period.
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) Market: Key Players
Some of the key companies which manufacture 2-Ethylhexanol acrylate are Dow Chemical Company, Eastman Chemical Company, Zak S.A, Chengdu XiYa Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Tianjin Zhongxin Chemtech Co., Ltd. and Meryer (Shanghai) Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. among many others.
Dow Chemical manufactures 2-ethylhexanol which is mainly used in coatings and in extractant production of heavy materials. Eastman Chemical Company manufactures 2-ethylhexanol for dispersing agents in pigments pastes. Zak SA produces 2-ethylhexanol which is used in the refining industry to improve the cetane number. It is also used in the production of anti-foam agents and forming agents.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
