1,4-butanediol is a colorless, viscous liquid and is one of the four stable isomers of butanediol. It is synthesized through the Reppe process, where methanol is first oxidized to produce formaldehyde. This compound then reacts with acetylene to yield 1,4-butanediol.

This chemical is essential for manufacturing other organic compounds such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Applications of THF include its use in spandex fibers and urethane elastomers, while GBL is utilized in electronics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and high-performance polymers. PBT serves as an engineering plastic. Additionally, 1,4-butanediol acts as a solvent in organic synthesis, finding usage across diverse industries including automotive, pharmaceuticals, electrical and electronics, artificial leather, and agricultural chemicals. The anticipated introduction of bio-based 1,4-butanediol is expected to further drive demand throughout the forecast period. It is also noteworthy that 1,4-butanediol has sedative properties that could lead to potential addiction similar to certain drugs.

On a global level, the primary driver for the 1,4-Butanediol market is its significant role as a feedstock in chemical manufacturing. PBT derived from 1,4-butanediol is extensively used in the automotive sector for producing components such as gas tanks, safety belts, airbags, and exterior trims. The lightweight and durable characteristics of PBT contribute to its increasing demand. An expected rise in vehicle production will likely boost PBT demand. Moreover, THF's ability to dissolve various resins at room temperature and its miscibility with water enhances its application as a solvent in significant reactions, including Wittig and Grignard processes. The rising need for THF in the upcoming years is projected to further expand the market during the forecast period. Global demand for 1,4-Butanediol is expected to reach around Y thousand tonnes by 2030.

Regionally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region dominates the global 1,4-butanediol market. The electronics industry's expansion is anticipated to create opportunities for chemicals used in manufacturing, thereby promoting market growth. Additionally, the growth of economies in APAC countries has resulted in heightened demand for consumer goods such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, and air conditioners, further fueling market expansion. China currently leads the global market with adequate production capacities, and several new companies are entering the sector to meet the anticipated demand during the forecast period.

The 1,4-Butanediol market is categorized by end-user applications, including Tetrahydrofuran (THF), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), PBAT, and other segments. In 2021, around 40% of the global market consumption was attributed to THF production, making it the leading segment of the 1,4-Butanediol market.

Noteworthy companies in the global 1,4-Butanediol market include Dairen Chemical Corporation, XinJiang Markor Chemical Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Dongyuan Technology Co., Ltd., BASF SE, Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., and others.
