1, 3-propanediol (PDO) is a high value specialty chemical used as a monomer in the synthesis of polyesters, polyurethanes and polyethers. Increasing demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) coupled with growing consumer awareness about bio-based products is expected to drive the global PDO market from 2013 to 2019. PDO imparts unique features such as superior stretching and elastic recovery of nylon to PTT, which is difficult to obtain from other glycol-based polyesters. Government initiatives and regulations in different countries are expected to further boost market growth.

Global Calcium Carbonate Market is Expected to Reach USD 25.01 billion by 2019:
Transparency Market Research
Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled " 1, 3-Propanediol
(PDO) Market For Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT), Polyurethane, Personal
Care & Detergents and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share,
Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the global 1, 3-Propanediol market was
valued at USD 235.9 million in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 683.2 million by 2019,
growing at a CAGR of 16.6% from 2013 to 2019.
Growing demand for polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) from end-use industries and
increasing consumer preference for bio based chemicals is expected to drive 1, 3-
propanediol (PDO) market. However, the use of highly patent protected technology along
with the concern for constant supply of renewable feedstock is expected to inhibit market
growth during the forecast period. The growing potential of PDO to substitute propylene
glycol in personal care applications and 1, 4-butanediol in polyurethane application will play
a crucial role in augmenting PDO market in the coming years.

2. Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) was the largest consumer of PDO and accounted for
nearly 81.2% of the total market in 2012. In addition, it is expected to be the fastest
growing application with an estimated CAGR of 16.3% from 2013 to 2019. Polyurethane
was the second largest consumer of PDO and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% from
2013 to 2019. PDO also find application in personal care and detergents. The market of PDO
in personal care & detergents application was valued at USD 25.9 million in 2012.
North America emerged as a leading consumer of PDO and accounted for about 74% of the
total demand in 2012. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market as many
Chinese manufacturers are expected to start commercial production of PDO in the coming
years. The demand for PDO in Asia pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.8% from
2013 to 2019. The Rest of the World market is expected to be USD 37.2 million by 2019.
While the European market was valued at USD 13 million in 2012.
The global PDO market is highly monopolized as DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products captured
about 89% of the total market in 2012. With the entry of new players in the market, new
technologies for manufacturing PDO from sustainable bio based raw material is expected to
be explored.
