Butene, or butylene, is an alkene with applications in producing high-purity butene-1 for copolymers in lldpe production. The global 1-butene market is projected to reach USD 4.21 billion by 2021, driven primarily by demand in packaging and construction industries. Key developments include the butene via ethylene dimerization project in Abu Dhabi and expansion plans by Haldia Petrochemicals in India.

12. Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd (HPL) is a competitive modern
naphtha based Petrochemical Complex located 125 kms from
Kolkata, at Haldia, West Bengal, India.
With eight production units it will include Styrene Butadiene
Rubber (SBR) , Butene-1, Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer
(EPDM) and Maleic Anhydrid

13. Arcanum announced plans for
expansion of its Butene-1
production complex. The
Company's flagship project,
Raven, an on-purpose
Ethylene-to-Butene-1
processing facility, is currently
under construction in
Baytown, Texas.

Butene market is
projected to reach
USD 4.21 billion by
2021, at a CAGR
of 7.1% from 2016
to 2021. The linear
low-density
polyethylene
(LLDPE) segment
led the 1-Butene
market, due to
increasing
demand of LLDPE
across industries
such as
packaging, food &
beverages, and
construction.
