Global GBL and NMP Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
Description
Research Summary
GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) and NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) are both industrial chemicals with various applications. GBL is a colorless liquid solvent that has been used in the production of plastics, polymers, and as a cleaning agent. It can also be converted into gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a central nervous system depressant with recreational use potential. NMP, on the other hand, is a solvent with a high boiling point, commonly employed in the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals, electronics, and polymers. While both GBL and NMP have legitimate industrial uses, they have also raised environmental and health concerns, leading to regulatory restrictions in some regions. GBL, due to its potential for GHB synthesis and misuse, is subject to legal controls in various countries. NMP has faced scrutiny due to its reproductive toxicity, leading to regulations aimed at protecting workers and the environment from potential harm associated with its use.
According to DIResearch's in-depth investigation and research, the global GBL and NMP market size was valued at XX Million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach XX Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of XX% (2025-2032). Notably, the China market has changed rapidly in the past few years. By 2024, China's market size is expected to be XX Million USD, representing approximately XX% of the global market share. By 2032, it is anticipated to grow further to XX Million USD, contributing XX% to the worldwide market share.
