1,3- Propanediol Market Outlook 2030
1,3-Propanediol is a bifunctional organic compound, which can be produced either via petrochemical or bio-based routes. 1,3-Propanediol having a chemical formula CH2(CH2OH)2. 1,3-Propanediol is the three-carbon diol, which is colorless viscous fluid that is soluble in water. 1,3-propanediol is a building block to produce polymers such as polytrimethylene terephthalate & polyurethane along with the manufacturing of paints & coatings, resins, and adhesives. It can be chemically synthesized from petrochemicals such as propenal or ethylene oxide. The bio-based route includes fermentation of glycerol or fermentation of sugars. Glycerol is the by-product of biodiesel production. 1,3-Propanediol does not pose any significant hazard if its inhalation of either the vapor or an aerosol mixture.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- 1,3 propanediol is majorly used in Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), which is further used in the production of carpet, leisure & sportswear, and other textile usage. COVID-19 has impacted the demand for PTT from end-use applications due to nationwide lockdown and also production operations in the various industry which in turn resulted in the decline in the demand of 1,3-propanediol in the market.
- Moreover, 1,3-propanediol is widely used as an ingredient in personal care and cosmetic industry. With the decline in the consumption of cosmetic products owing to COVID-19 and nationwide lockdown, it has impacted the demand of 1,3 propanediol in the market.
- Due to the COVID-19 outbreak globally, most of the industry where 1,3-propanediol is used as component in manufacturing of various aspects of product is affected due to supply chain disruption.
Top Impacting Factors
A continuous change in customer inclination for bio-based items is seen across the world. The rise in awareness of consumers, increase in stringent government regulations, and depletion of conventional sources have encouraged companies to innovate and market sustainable products. 1,3-propanediol is one such biochemical which is estimated to have popularity. Bio-based propanediol utilizes renewable resources, such as corn sugar and crude glycerin, making it more sustainable. However, 1,3-propanediol is used as a substitute for petroleum-based glycols such as propylene glycol, butylene glycol, and glycerin. These products are available at a comparatively lower price than 1,3-propanediol, which is utilized in cosmetics, personal care & cleaning products, pharmaceutical & dietary supplements, and food & flavor applications. In addition, the surge in demand for 1,3-propanediol as a component in various potential applications drives the growth of the market.
