Key Trends in the 1,4 Butanediol Market

Several developments are shaping the 1,4 butanediol market:

The dominant Reppe process, based on acetylene chemistry, still accounts for about 70% of global production in 2024, but bio-fermentation is gaining ground, projected to grow at a 7.40% CAGR through 2030

Among derivatives, tetrahydrofuran (THF) remains the largest, with a 52% share in 2024, while polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is expanding steadily with a 3.72% CAGR

Textiles-particularly spandex yarns-are the leading end-user, accounting for 39% of total demand in 2024, but electrical and electronics is the fastest growing segment, increasing at 4.07% per year.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific held a commanding 76% market share in 2024, and its market is expected to continue to expand at about 3.87% CAGR through 2030.

These trends are echoed in dollar-based forecasts: one study projects global market value rising from about USD 7.68 billion in 2024 to USD 13.41 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 9.9%. Another source estimates USD 7.8 billion in 2024 growing to USD 11.1 billion by 2029 at 7.3% CAGR

Development of bio-based BDO and increased emphasis on sustainability, especially among automotive, electronics, and textile brands, are encouraging investment in greener routes
