Oxo Alcohol Industry Overview
Global Oxo Alcohol Industry has been segmented based on type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market has been segmented into n-butanol, iso-butanol, 2-ethylhexanol, and others. All these types of oxo alcohols are commercially used. Moreover, the 2ethylhexanol segment dominated the oxo-alcohol market, by type, in 2017. Oxo alcohol is extensively used in the production of plasticizers, coatings, adhesives, and other specialty chemicals. Plasticizers are widely used in end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, and electronics. Along with this, their use in coatings, adhesives have driven the demand for oxo alcohol in the global market. Furthermore, 2-ethylhexanol is also used as an all-purpose plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and vinyl chloride copolymers. These factors have led to an increase in the market share of 2-ethylhexanol segment in the global market and it is expected to show strong growth during the review period.
Based on application, the Oxo Alcohol Industry has been divided into plasticizers, acrylates, acetates, resins, solvents, glycol ethers, lube oil additives, and others. Plasticizers segment held the largest market share in the global Oxo Alcohol Industry in 2017. This is attributed to the growing use of plasticizers in PVC applications, automotive and construction industries for packaging owing to the high flexibility and durability offered by plasticizers. These factors have fueled the growth of plasticizers in the global Oxo Alcohol Industry. Thus, plasticizers segment is projected to grow at the fastest pace during the review period.
