Propanol Market: Rising Preference of Acetone Manufacturers to Hamper Demand for Propanol

The global propanol market has a relatively fragmented competitive landscape as a vast number of small and large propanol vendors thrive across the globe. This has rendered the market highly competitive, states Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a recent report. Owing to the high intensity of competition, companies in the market are focusing on growth strategies such as increased funds diverted towards research and development of bio-based product varieties, mergers and acquisitions, and collaborations.

Companies are also focusing on capacity expansion as a way to ramp up their potential of grabbing a larger consumer base across high growth potential regions. Oxea, one of the market’s leading vendors, has begun construction of a new propanol manufacturing unit in the U.S. The unit, located in Bay City, is expected to produce 100,000 mt of propanol on an annual basis and is projected to begin operations in 2018.
The report states that the global propanol market will expand at a 2.3% CAGR over the period between 2017 and 2025, rising from an opportunity of US$2.19 bn in 2016 to US$2.68 bn by 2025.
Iso-propanol to Retain Leading Position in Terms of Consumption
Of the key varieties of propanol used industrially, the segment of iso-propanol is presently the dominant product type. The segment held a massive 88% of the overall revenue of the global propanol market in 2016. The vast usage of the product across a vast range of applications is expected to help it retain its dominance in the global propanol market over the forecast period as well. From a geographical perspective, the market for propanol in Asia Pacific is presently the leading contributor of revenue to the global market. The regional market accounted for a significant 45% of the global market in terms of volume in 2016 and is likely to exhibit promising growth opportunities over the report’s forecast period as well.
Promising Demand from Cosmetics and Personal Care Industries to Fuel Growth Opportunities
Personal care and cosmetics industries are some of the primary consumers of propanol and growth of these sectors invariably affects the overall development of the global propanol market. Market analysts predict impressive growth prospects for these industries in the coming years, with factors such as rising disposable incomes, increased expenditure on premium personal care brands, easy availability of international brands across developing economies, and the vast demand for anti-ageing products driving growth. These factors, in turn, are expected to ramp up the growth opportunities of the global propanol market.

Fluctuating Costs of Raw Material Could Hinder Growth Rate of Market
One of the key factors inducing a negative impact on the global demand for propanol is the rising preference of acetone manufacturers to the cumene process, cutting down the demand for propanol significantly. The cost of production of acetone with the help of the cumene process is relatively lesser than the cost of production with the help of propanol. As acetone production is one of the key areas of application of the propanol market, increased preference to the cumene process is expected to negatively affect the profit margins of companies in the global market.
The volatile cost of raw materials is also projected to affect the overall growth prospects of the global propanol market negatively over the report’s forecast period. Nevertheless, rising demand for bio-based products has opened up a new window of opportunity for chemical manufacturers and could help propanol companies renew growth opportunities.
For this study, the market has been segmented as follows:
Propanol Market: Product Type Analysis
  • Isopropanol
  • N-propanol
Propanol Market: Application Analysis
  • Solvent
  • Chemical Intermediate
  • Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals
  • Others (Cleansers, adhesives, agricultural chemicals, etc)

This review of the market is based on a recent Transparency Market Research report, titled “Propanol Market (Type - Isopropanol and n-Propanol; Application - Solvent, Chemical Intermediate, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals, Cleansers, Adhesives, and Agricultural Chemicals) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025.”

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 prototypi
