Isobutane Market to Reach USD $34.00 Billion by 2026 | Reports and Data

Reports and Data

Market Size - USD $20.00 billion in 2018, Market Growth - CAGR of 6.6%, Market Trends - Rising cold chain market.

​​​​The extensive implementation of isobutane in refineries in the production of alkylate is estimated to boost the market growth.

The Global Isobutane Market is expected to reach USD $34.00 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Isobutane is a colorless gas with a slight petroleum-like odor. It is very inflammable and is denser than air. Among the five natural gas liquids, isobutane has a distinctive place in the market. Isobutane is produced from gas processing plants and refineries and is also the only NGL purposely produced from another NGL –n-butane.

Isobutane is principally used in refineries as a gasoline – petrol – additive. It is processed to make alkylate through the process of alkylation. It is used to produce isooctane, a high octane gasoline constituent, which increases the octane rating and anti-knock characteristics of gasoline. This extensive implementation of isobutane in refineries and petrochemical plants is forecast to drive the market growth.

The cold chain market, where temperature control is an important aspect throughout the supply chain, seeks the application of isobutane as a refrigerant. With a consistent rise in the cold chain market, there would be an increased demand for isobutane in the forecast period.

Factors that may act as a restraint to the market growth are the inflammable nature of isobutane and the related safety issues.

The market for isobutane in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to observe the highest growth rate, owing to an increase in the petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants, especially in countries like China and India. The market demand is this region is also attributed to the surging demand of isobutane as refrigerants and aerosol propellants in various other industries.

Further key findings from the report suggest

  • Pure grade isobutane is forecast to witness the highest growth rate of 6.8% in the forecast period, owing to the application of this grade of isobutane in the alkylation process, as well as in refrigeration systems. Technical grade isobutane is forecast to reach USD $10.71 billion by 2026.
     
  • Isobutane does not have the harmful characteristics of Freon and other related compounds. Thus, it is extensively used in all types of refrigeration systems, extending from small home solutions to massive commercial freezers. Isobutane is denoted as R-600a when it is applied as propellants in aerosols or as refrigerants.
     
  • Petrochemicals is projected to capture more than 60% of the market in the forecast year, reaching USD $20.77 billion by 2026. This can be attributed to the very high use of isobutane as feedstock, which is used in the formation of the suitable atmosphere for the production of isooctane. Research is being done on various capabilities of isobutane as a feedstock in improving the production of numerous other compounds.
     
  • Isobutane is one among the hydrocarbons that are liquefied under pressure and are used as fuel in the form of LPG.
     
  • The Asia-Pacific is estimated to capture the largest market share, with a growth rate of 6.7% during the forecast period due to the presence of a large number of refineries in the region, especially in countries like China, India, Japan and South Korea. The market in North America is projected to reach USD $7.17 billion by 2026.
     
  • Key participants include Conoco Phillips, Linde, Praxair Technology, Air Liquide, Shell Trading International Limited, Sirloong, Jinling Petrochemicals, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, Evonik and Sibur among others.
