The main commercial route for the production of n-butanol is the oxo process. This comprises the catalytic hydroformylation of propylene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas), followed by the hydrogenation of the aldehydes formed to give a mixture of n- and isobutanols.

Demand, 2015-2030

2. Global n-butanol demand is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.34% during the forecast period. N-butanol is a clear, neutral, mobile liquid with
a characteristic odour. It shows miscibility with all common solvents, e. g. alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, glycols, and aromatic and aliphatic
hydrocarbons. Its miscibility with water, however, is restricted. N-butanol is used as a solvent and as a feedstock for syntheses. The main
commercial route for the production of n-butanol is the oxo process. This comprises the catalytic hydroformylation of propylene with carbon
monoxide and hydrogen (syngas), followed by the hydrogenation of the aldehydes formed to give a mixture of n- and isobutanols. The major
applications of n-butanol include butyl acrylate and methacrylate esters which consume almost 49% of the total n-butanol, glycol ethers (24%), n-
butyl acetate (14%), direct solvent use (7%), plasticizers (4%). Use of n-Butyl acrylate and n-butyl methacrylate comprise nearly half of n-butanol’s
demand. The drivers for both of these are emulsified and solution polymers used in latex surface coatings, enamels and lacquers. The
consumption of these coatings is heavily dependent on construction and remodelling/maintenance activities. Therefore, the main end uses for n-
butanol include construction, industrial, automotive, chemical processing, food and pharmaceutical. Growing demand of surface coatings, enamels
and lacquers from the construction sector is expected to drive the demand of n-butanol during the forecast period. Moreover, upcoming new
technologies which are producing bio-based n-butanol for fuel purpose are expected to support further demand rise during the forecast period.
However, the stringent environmental regulations regarding the volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions related to n-butanol are expected to
hinder the demand growth during the forecast period.
Owing to the impact of COVID-19, n-butanol demand has declined drastically due to nationwide lockdowns and subsequent disruptions in supply
chains. Construction and infrastructure sectors were the most severely hit sectors during the pandemic which had an impact on paints, coatings
and adhesives industry which have application of n-butanol as solvent. However overall good demand growth has been observed in China from the
manufacturing sector due to continuation of production activities after the lockdowns.
Regional Outlook:
Region wise, Asia Pacific region holds the major share of global demand for n-butanol due to growing demand for commercial and residential
construction.
