Global Isopropyl Alcohol Market 2018: Shell Chemicals, DOW Chemicals, Exxon Mobil Chemical Company, Sasol Olefins and Chang Chun Plastics Co Ltd

The global isopropyl alcohol market has been witnessing a positive growth over the past few years. This can be attributed to the increasing usage of isopropyl alcohol in the form of a solvent, rising hygiene awareness among consumers and growth in the cosmetic and personal care industry.

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Isopropyl Alcohol Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global isopropyl alcohol market reached a volume of 2.2 Million Tons in 2017, growing at a CAGR of around 3% during 2010-2017. Isopropyl alcohol is a propyl isomer which exhibits disinfectant properties and is used for the production of acetone as well as its derivatives. It is a volatile, flammable and colourless liquid having a strong odour and is miscible in water, ether, ethanol and chloroform. Isopropyl alcohol can not be mixed with salt solutions owing to which it can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding sodium chloride to them. Earlier, it was primarily used for the oxidation to acetone for the preparation of Cordite which is a smokeless propellant. Whereas, now isopropyl alcohol is utilised in the extraction process as well as in the form of a de-icing agent for lacquers and liquid fuels.

One of the major factors which is driving the isopropyl alcohol market is the increasing use of isopropyl alcohol as a solvent across numerous industries including cleaning, pharmaceutical, and paints and coatings among others. There has also been an increase in the demand for the development of flex cars and biofuels in order to promote the safety of environment which has, in turn, contributed towards the propelled demand for isopropyl alcohol across the globe. Moreover, isopropyl alcohol can be used for purifying and extracting natural products such as animal and vegetable oils, waxes, resins, flavourings, fats and vitamins, etc., which is positively influencing the market growth. However, the supply of raw materials used for the production of isopropyl alcohol is fluctuating due to which their prices are consistently rising. This remains as a key hindrance towards the growth of the market. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach a volume of 2.53 Million Tons by 2023.
