The global butanol market is forecast to see a pronounced recovery in 2021. The increased demand for butyl acetate and butyl acrylate, which together comprise over half of the butanol consumption, emerges as a key butanol market driver amid the current construction boom in Asia, the U.S., Russia and Europe. The use of butanol as an alternative fuel may also accelerate the market expansion. The possibility to derive biobutanol from food waste and the emerging technology to obtain butanol from CO2 shape promising investment prospects, following the shift to a circular economy.
