N-butanol is a type of alcohol produced primarily from petrochemical process. It is also known as n-butyl and has a chemical formula of C4H3OH. N-butanol can also be derived from fermentation of sugar, that is derived from agricultural crops. N-butanol is widely used in manufacturing of high-value specialty resins and specialty solvents, that are used in various products. Products such as paints, coatings, cosmetics, and adhesives contain n-Butanol.

Rising demand for n-Butanol in various end use industries, especially from the paint and coating industries coupled with n-Butanol being increasingly used in preparation of butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, and glycol ethers are major factors driving growth of the global n-Butanol market. In addition, rapid industrialization in emerging economies and growing demand for advanced surface coating solutions across the globe are other major factors anticipated to boost growth of the global n-Butanol market over the forecast period.

However, stringent environmental regulations limiting use of coatings that are manufactured using n-Butanol in developed economies is a major factor restraining growth of the global n-Butanol market. Additionally, volatile raw material prices and increasing availability of substitutes in the market are other major factors expected to hamper growth of the global market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in Asia Pacific dominates the global n-Butanol market in revenue terms owing to rapid industrialization that is resulting into high demand for products containing n-Butanol and presence of large production facilities for glycol ethers, butyl acrylate, and butyl acetate in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan. Moreover, the revenue from the market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The market in North America accounted for second-highest revenue share in the global n-Butanol market, due to growing demand for industrial surface coatings in countries in the region. Revenue from the market in North America is closely followed by markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America respectively. The market in Middle East & Africa is projected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period, owing to increasing presence of various industries and growing demand for advanced surface coatings that not only provide various benefits but also can be used in harsh environments in countries in the region.
