Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Market - Analysis and future growth opportunities by 2019

Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid majorly used as fuel component. MTBE is manufactured by catalytic reaction of isobutylene with methanol. MTBE is used as an octane buster in engines. It is also used as oxygenate to increase oxygen in gasoline. MTBE offers good blending properties and reduces the content of formaldehyde and benzene in gasoline. Additionally, it replaces lead compounds enhancing the anti-knocking properties of the fuel. It is also used as a laboratory reagent to extract compounds. It is also used as solvent to dissolve gallstones. Furhermore, it is used as intermediate for methyl methacrylate.

MTBE is manufactured by reacting isobutene with methanol in a liquid phase reactor in presence of ion exchange resin. MTBE can further be processed to get isobutylene, which on further processing gives derivates such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl rubber and polyisobutylene. Cost effectiveness and excellent blending octane value are the major advantages of methyl tertiary butyl ether.

The market for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was mainly driven by petrochemical applications. MTBE is majorly consumed as an octane buster and as anti-knocking agent in engines. MTBE is preferred over others due to its lower cost and effectiveness. MBTE finds application as a solvent and forms azeotropes with methanol and water. MBTE has various opportunities as a solvent in various chemicals. However, health and environmental issues related with MTBE can act as a major restraint for the market in upcoming years. Moreover, availability of substitutes also poses as a threat to the growth of the market. Additionally, biofuels mandate in European Union and the U.S. will be major constraint for the market.
