Furfural Market - Global Industry Analysis 2023

The global furfural market exhibits a highly fragmented structure, with none of the leading players having significant market share, finds Transparency Market Research in a new study. In 2014, it took six players, namely, Tieling North Furfural Co. Ltd., Central Romana Corp., Illova Sugar, Xingtai Chunlei Furfuryl Alcohol Co. Ltd., KRBL Ltd., and Hongye Holding Group Corp. Ltd., to hold around 50% of the overall market.

This fragmentation has led to a strong rivalry between players. To withstand this competition, TMR recommends participants to improve their current production processes in order to enhance yield and reduce product cost.

Amplified Popularity of Furfural as Renewable Platform Molecule for Fuel and Chemical Synthesis Boosts its Application

The growing concerns over adverse environmental effect of fossil fuels, due to high carbon content, have led to an increased requirement for their ecofriendly renewable alternatives, such as biofuels, across the world. Furfural, over the past few years, has gained significant popularity as a renewable platform molecule for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals to produce biofuels and biochemicals from the low-cost and widely available biomass. This amplified popularity has rocketed its demand in the recent times.

Apart from this, the application of furfural in the pharmaceutical industry, for the production of pharmaceutical intermediaries and mixtures, has also increased considerably, as it demonstrates the properties of a natural precursor to a wide range of furan-based chemicals and solvents, including methylfuran, dihydrofuran, methyltetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran, and furoic acid.

Going forward, the ongoing expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in the emerging economies, such as India and China, owing to the presence of potential opportunities, is expected to boost the demand for furfural substantially in the years to come.

Furfural Market to Suffer from Low Yield due to Inefficiency of Production Processes

Although the future prospects exhibits a thriving market for furfural, the inefficiency of production processes is likely to impact the production of this organic compound over the next few years. Commercially, furfural is manufactured through Chinese batch process, Quaker batch process, and Rosenlew continuous process, which are highly inept and also suffer from low yield, resulting in higher operating as well as product costs.

The application of furfural in chemicals and pharmaceuticals is expected to be negatively influenced to some extent by this price hike in the forthcoming years.
