簡介目錄

預計 1,4-丁二醇市場規模在 2025 年將達到 256 萬噸,到 2030 年將達到 305 萬噸,預測期(2025-2030 年)複合年成長率為 3.55%。

1,4-丁二醇-市場-IMG1

推動生產擴張的因素包括:氨綸紗線對四氫呋喃 (THF) 的需求不斷成長、電動車 (EV) 連接器對聚對聚丁烯對苯二甲酸酯(PBT) 的需求日益成長,以及生物發酵製程的興起,這些都有助於降低碳排放強度。隨著生物技術授權者與尋求更環保生產能力的製造商合作,競爭日益激烈;同時,老牌石化製造商則透過最佳化其再生製程設備來應對這項挑戰。在北美和歐洲,政府獎勵以及汽車、電子和服裝品牌日益增強的永續性目標,正在刺激對生物基產能的投資。同時,碳化鈣衍生的乙炔價格波動以及日益嚴格的健康和安全法規,也促使生產商實現原料多元化。

全球1,4-丁二醇市場趨勢及洞察

對四氫呋喃(THF)和氨綸纖維的需求不斷成長

四氫呋喃 (THF) 仍然是一種重要的衍生物,為氨綸紗線提供聚對甲氧基乙二醇 (PTMEG),而氨綸紗線是高性能服裝、醫用紡織品和汽車內飾的基礎材料。氨綸的消費正從基礎運動休閒服轉向對彈性和回彈性能要求更高的高性能服飾。因此,生產商正在擴大催化劑升級,例如生物炭負載的釕-錸休閒,這些體係可以減少氫氣的使用並提高選擇性,從而有助於在近期亞洲價格波動的情況下穩定利潤率。服裝品牌對回收的推動促使 THF 供應商與下游工廠合作,致力於減少範圍 3排放並探索循環原料。這種動態的融合使得 1,4-丁二醇市場與合成纖維產業鏈的健康息息相關。

更輕的電動車正在推動PBT在汽車連接器中的應用。

為了提高能量密度,汽車製造商正在重新設計其高壓架構,採用PBT外殼,在保持介電強度的同時,將系統重量減輕15-30%。零件製造商表示,與傳統材料相比,射出成型成型製程的週期時間更短,從而能夠提高生產線速度,以應對電動車需求的加速成長。北美供應鏈正在透過新的混煉生產線得到服務,這些生產線將生物回收的1,4-丁二醇與回收聚酯相結合,從而將產品碳足跡減少30%以上,並滿足國內含量獎勵。這種向工程熱塑性塑膠的結構性轉變將在未來十年內鞏固1,4-丁二醇市場的持續成長動能。

健康與安全問題

由於1,4-丁二醇具有影響中樞神經系統的急性毒性,全球監管機構正在收緊其暴露限值。歐洲的REACH和CLP框架要求提供大量文件,這增加了合規成本,並可能導致缺乏先進EHS(環境、健康與安全)基礎設施的小型配方商被市場淘汰。雖然大型製造商可以透過閉合迴路處理和操作人員培訓計劃來緩解這些限制,但下游的個人護理和消費品行業面臨更大的挑戰。這些動態限制了某些高價值應用領域的成長,並需要在整個市場持續投資於安全管理系統。

細分市場分析

預計到2024年,採用Reppe製程生產的1,4-丁二醇市場規模將佔據70%的主導地位,這主要得益於成熟的乙炔基資產以及中國有利的煤炭經濟效益。然而,生物發酵製程的產量正以7.40%的複合年成長率快速成長,這主要得益於代謝工程技術的突破,該技術能夠將PET廢棄物衍生的乙二醇轉化為高純度的1,4-丁二醇。例如,越南即將投產的年產5萬噸的裝置等商業性應用案例,凸顯了技術許可方如何將實驗室滴度轉化為工業提純技術,目前已實現超過99%的回收率,且單價具有競爭力。

對煤基乙炔的持續環境限制以及主要出口市場可能實施的碳排放邊境調整,提高了雷佩法合成1,4-丁二醇的成本門檻。在丙烯氧化物經濟效益較高或丁二烯區域供應過剩的情況下,戴維法和丁二烯法合成1,4-丁二醇則提供了製程上的彈性。因此,1,4-丁二醇市場體現了一種投資組合策略,生產商透過在多種合成路線上配置資金來對沖監管和原料風險,同時最佳化生命週期排放。

區域分析

亞太地區在1,4-丁二醇市場佔據主導地位,2024年市佔率高達76%,預計到2030年將以3.87%的複合年成長率成長。中國憑藉其龐大的再生能源產能(主要由煤製乙炔驅動)引領這一主導,而BASF湛江一體化工廠等新計劃正在擴大區域工程塑膠的生產。印度和韓國正在擴建下游彈性體、紡織品和電子產品工廠,深化區域整合,並促進亞洲內部貿易流量。

北美將佔據全球需求的相當大一部分,這主要得益於汽車行業PBT(塑膠、生物基和塑膠)使用量的成長以及生物基BDO(生物基紡織品、 ...

儘管整體成長放緩,歐洲在永續性主導的創新領域仍處於領先地位。 Novamon位於義大利的生物基丁二醇(bio-BDO)生產單元以及多家用於生物循環PBT的複合設施,體現了該地區與循環經濟目標的契合。更嚴格的CLP合規性提高了市場准入門檻,並鼓勵生產特種等級產品,因為這些產品的高溢價可以抵消其高昂的營運成本。南美洲以及中東和非洲地區的需求成長較為溫和,其中巴西的紡織業和沙烏地阿拉伯的石化叢集正成為1,4-丁二醇市場的新驅動力。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

簡介目錄
Product Code: 51229

The 1,4 Butanediol Market size is estimated at 2.56 Million tons in 2025, and is expected to reach 3.05 Million tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.55% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

1,4 Butanediol - Market - IMG1

Output expansion rests on the interplay of incremental demand for tetrahydrofuran (THF) in spandex yarns, rising interest in polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for electric-vehicle (EV) connectors, and the emergence of bio-fermentation routes that lower carbon intensity. Competitive intensity is rising as biotechnology licensors strike alliances with producers seeking greener capacity, while incumbent petrochemical players counter by debottlenecking Reppe-process assets. Government incentives in North America and Europe, combined with rising sustainability targets among automotive, electronics, and apparel brands, are accelerating investment in bio-based capacity even as conventional acetylene routes remain cost-competitive in coal-rich regions. At the same time, price volatility for calcium-carbide-derived acetylene and stricter health-and-safety regulations are pushing producers to diversify feedstocks.

Global 1,4 Butanediol Market Trends and Insights

Rising Demand for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Spandex Fibers

THF remains the pivotal derivative, feeding PTMEG for spandex yarns that underpin performance apparel, medical textiles, and automotive interiors. Spandex consumption is shifting from basic athleisure to high-function garments requiring enhanced stretch and recovery. Producers are therefore scaling catalytic upgrades such as biochar-supported Ru-Re systems that cut hydrogen usage and improve selectivity, helping stabilize margins amid recent Asian price swings. Apparel brands' push for recyclability is prompting THF suppliers to explore circular feedstocks, aligning with downstream mills that target lower scope-3 emissions. These converging dynamics keep the 1,4 butanediol market closely tied to the health of the synthetic-fiber chain.

Lightweighting Drive in EVs Fueling PBT Adoption in Auto Connectors

Automakers prioritizing energy-density gains are redesigning high-voltage architectures around PBT housings that trim system weight by 15-30% while preserving dielectric strength. Component makers report faster cycle times via injection molding versus legacy materials, enabling higher line speeds as EV demand accelerates. The North American supply base is responding with new compounding lines that pair bio-circular 1,4-butanediol with recycled polyesters, cutting product carbon footprints by over 30% and satisfying domestic content incentives. This structural tilt toward engineering thermoplastics cements a durable pull for the 1,4 butanediol market through the decade.

Health and Safety Concerns

Global regulators tighten exposure limits as 1,4 butanediol shows acute toxicity affecting the central nervous system. Europe's REACH and CLP frameworks require extensive documentation, triggering higher compliance costs and risking market exit for smaller formulators lacking advanced EHS infrastructure. Large producers mitigate this restraint via closed-loop handling and operator-training programs, yet downstream personal-care and consumer-product sectors face heightened hurdles. These dynamics temper growth in certain high-value applications and necessitate continuous investment in safety management systems across the 1,4 butanediol market.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Expansion of Polyurethane Applications
  2. Pharma-grade GBL Demand for Solvent-Based API Synthesis
  3. Raw Material Price Volatility

Segment Analysis

The 1,4 butanediol market size tied to the Reppe process stood at a commanding 70% share in 2024, underpinned by mature acetylene-based assets and favorable coal economics in China. Yet bio-fermentation volumes are scaling quickly at a 7.40% CAGR, propelled by metabolic-engineering breakthroughs that convert PET-waste-derived ethylene glycol into high-purity BDO. Commercial deployments such as the forthcoming 50,000 ton/yr Vietnamese unit highlight how licensors bridge laboratory titers with industrial purification technologies that now achieve more than 99% recovery at competitive unit costs.

Continued environmental levies on coal-based acetylene and prospective carbon-border adjustments in key export markets raise the cost bar for the Reppe route. Davy and butadiene-based syntheses offer process diversity where propylene-oxide co-product economics or regional butadiene surpluses prevail. The 1,4 butanediol market therefore reflects a portfolio approach in which producers hedge regulatory and feedstock risk by allocating capital across multiple routes while optimizing life-cycle emissions.

The 1, 4 Butanediol Market Report Segments the Industry by Production Process (Reppe Process, Davy Process, Butadiene-Based Process, and More), Derivative (Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL), and More), End-User Industry (Automotive, Textile, Electrical and Electronics, and More) and Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific dominates the 1,4 butanediol market with a 76% share in 2024 and a projected 3.87% CAGR to 2030. China anchors this leadership through vast Reppe-route capacity supported by coal-derived acetylene, while new projects such as BASF's Zhanjiang Verbund site broaden regional production of engineering plastics. India and South Korea are scaling downstream elastomer, textile, and electronics plants, deepening regional integration and raising intra-Asian trade flows.

North America accounts for a meaningful share of global demand, supported by PBT usage in autos and rising bio-BDO investments. Qore's Iowa plant, scheduled to produce 66,000 tons annually from 2025, leverages corn-based dextrose and captures federal tax incentives, establishing a domestic low-carbon supply that resonates with brand-owner procurement policies. Canada and Mexico add incremental growth through automotive parts and technical-textile exports.

Europe exhibits slower headline expansion but leads in sustainability-led innovation. Novamont's Italian bio-BDO unit and multiple compounding facilities for bio-circular PBT illustrate regional alignment with circular-economy objectives. Stricter CLP compliance elevates entry barriers, encouraging specialty-grade production where premium pricing offsets higher operating costs. South America, the Middle East, and Africa contribute modest but rising demand, with Brazil's textile sector and Saudi Arabia's petrochemical clusters offering new pull for the 1,4 butanediol market.
