The isobutyraldehyde market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.4 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including an increasing focus on bio-based chemicals, growth in the renewable energy sector, advancements in the automotive fuel additives market, expansion of the adhesives and sealants market, and a rise in consumer demand for specialty flavors and fragrances. Major trends expected in the forecast period include innovations in paints and coatings formulations, increasing demand in the pharmaceuticals sector, rising demand in agrochemicals, a focus on bio-based production, and technological advancements in production processes.
The expected growth in fertilizer consumption is anticipated to drive the expansion of the isobutyraldehyde market. Fertilizers, which are chemical compounds applied to plants to enhance their development by providing essential nutrients, play a crucial role in boosting crop yield. Isobutyraldehyde is utilized in the production of fertilizers and pest control products. In its liquid form, when combined with the solid compound urea, isobutyraldehyde serves as an uncoated nitrogen provider in fertilizers, gradually delivering necessary nutrients to plants. For instance, in 2021, data from The World Bank Group indicated that fertilizer consumption in Ireland increased from 130.1 kilograms per hectare of arable land in 2020 to 139 kilograms per hectare of arable land in 2021. Therefore, the rising consumption of fertilizers is a key driver for the isobutyraldehyde market.
The growth of the pharmaceutical industry is also expected to contribute to the expansion of the isobutyraldehyde market. The pharmaceutical industry, which encompasses the discovery, development, and production of drugs and medicines, utilizes isobutyraldehyde as a versatile chemical intermediate in synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds. Isobutyraldehyde facilitates controlled reactions and improves the efficiency of drug synthesis processes, enabling the production of a diverse range of medications. For example, in May 2021, reports from IQVIA Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, projected that the total expenditure on pharmaceuticals in the US would range between $380 and $400 billion by 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 0-3% from the $359 billion spent in 2020. Hence, the growing pharmaceutical industry is a driving force behind the growth of the isobutyraldehyde market.
The anticipated surge in material prices is expected to pose a constraint on the growth of the isobutyraldehyde market. Such price surges act as limiting factors, impacting market expansion and adoption across various industries by affecting affordability and accessibility. For instance, in May 2021, Qingdao ECHEMI Digital Technology Co. Ltd., a China-based chemical industry B2B platform, reported an 8600 CNY/ton ($1207.73/ton) increase in isobutyraldehyde prices since the Qingming festival, representing a significant rise of 73.2%. Isobutyraldehyde was quoted at RMB 20,350/ton, indicating a RMB 3,300/ton increase from the beginning of the month, with a maximum daily increase of RMB 1,600/ton ($224.69/ton). Therefore, the surge in material prices is likely to restrict the growth of the isobutyraldehyde market.
Major companies in the isobutyraldehyde market are adopting advanced technologies, such as LP Oxo Technology, to enhance production efficiency. LP Oxo Technology is a low-pressure hydroformylation process utilizing rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of an olefin with syngas (CO and H2) followed by hydrogenation of the intermediate aldehyde to produce alcohols from olefins. For instance, in September 2022, Johnson Matthey, a UK-based specialty chemicals company, and Dow Inc., a US-based materials science company, licensed LP Oxo Technology to Anqing Shuguang Petrochemical Oxo Co. Ltd. This technology involves the use of propylene and synthesis gas to generate normal isobutyraldehyde, enabling the expansion of the oxo business. Anqing Shuguang Petrochemical Oxo Co. Ltd. is expected to produce approximately 200 kta 2-ethylhexanol and 25 kta iso-butyraldehyde with this technology.
In October 2022, PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), a Malaysia-based integrated chemicals producer, acquired Perstorp AB for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aimed to strengthen PCG's position in the specialty chemicals market through technological advancements and innovative strength, aligning with market strategies. Perstorp, a Sweden-based chemicals company, focuses on resins and coatings and provides aldehydes, including isobutyraldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, and propionaldehyde.
