While India and ASEAN countries are key contributors to the market’s revenues, they have a scarcity of suppliers as well as large-scale manufacturers of butene-1, and the markets are thus undersupplied. The market in China, on the other hand, is oversupplied and helps satisfy the demand for butene-1 in the rest of the Asia Pacific.

The market has moderate growth prospects and is expected to exhibit a 4.1% CAGR from 2016 through 2026, rising from a valuation of US$508.6 mn in 2015 to US$787.8 mn by 2026.

On the basis of geography, the butene-1 market in Asia Pacific has been examined for countries such as China, India, and ASEAN countries. China held a 64.7% share in the market in Asia Pacific in 2015 and is expected to remain the dominant regional player throughout the forecast period as well.
