Market Overview:

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) is an organic compound that is highly flammable and volatile. It is manufactured by a chemical reaction of methanol with isobutylene. MTBE contains oxygen which, when added to gasoline, enhances the octane rating and helps in reducing emissions. MTBE also offers efficient blending properties and helps in the reducing the formation of benzene and formaldehyde in gasoline. MTBE is widely produced in refinery-based plants, however, significant capital is required for the same. The production of MTBE is also subject to legal and regulatory barriers across the globe owing to health and environmental issues. The major application of MTBE is as a gasoline additive across the globe.

The growing demand for gasoline and gasoline additives in the marine and oil & gas industries is also positively contributing to the growth of the market. On the basis of manufacturing process, the fluid liquid cracker segment was the largest in 2017 and is expected to remain so during the forecast period. Fluid liquid cracker is an easy and cost-effective process, leading to its extensive use in the production of MTBE.

Intended Audience

MTBE manufacturers
Traders and distributors of MTBE

Market Segmentation:

The global methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) market has been segmented by manufacturing process, application, and region.

On the basis of manufacturing process, the market has been segmented into steam cracker, fluid liquid cracker, dehydrogenation, and dehydration. Fluid liquid cracker was the largest segment in 2017 and is expected to remain so during the forecast period. The manufacturing process of MTBE is complex and requires significant capital investment. Therefore, the fluid liquid cracker process is used as it is a refinery-based production process that requires comparatively less capital. This manufacturing process is similar to the steam cracker process but is simpler and more economical. The fluid liquid cracker process is extensively used in Asia-Pacific owing to the rising refining capacity in the region, especially in India and China.

On the basis of application, the market has been classified as gasoline additive and others. According to MRFR analysis, gasoline additive was the leading segment in 2017 and is projected to show the same trend during the forecast period. The use of MTBE in engines substantially reduces engine damage caused by the insufficient burning of gasoline. Furthermore, MTBE helps in the reduction of emissions from vehicles.

Regional Insights:

The market in Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing regional market. Increasing automobile production in the region is acting as a major driver for the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising awareness about pollution in the region has augmented the demand for MTBE in gasoline as it restricts the emission of harmful gases. China accounted for the highest production of MTBE in 2017; this is expected to continue during the forecast period.

North America was the second-largest market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the review period. The presence of a developed automotive industry and major MTBE manufacturing companies are contributing to the growth of the regional market. However, the increasing restrictions on the use of MTBE owing to environmental and health issues are expected to hinder market growth in the region.

The markets in the Middle East & Africa and Latin America are projected to contribute substantially to the global market during the forecast period owing to the growing gasoline requirements in these regions. Moreover, lax regulations for the production of MTBE in the Middle East and Latin America is projected to positively impact market growth.
