Description

The global N-Butyl Lithium market size is expected to reach $ 351 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of -7.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

N-Butyl lithium (CAS 109-72-8) is the most important organolithium compound. It is widely used as a polymerization initiator for elastic polymers such as polybutadiene and styrene-butadiene-styrene resins. It is also often used as a strong base in organic synthesis in industry and laboratories. n-N-Butyl lithium is usually sold as an alkane solution. Although n-N-Butyl lithium itself is a colorless solid, it usually occurs as a pale yellow solution in alkane. N-Butyl lithium is mainly used as a catalyst for the reaction of synthetic rubber and pharmaceutical intermediates. It can reduce the temperature of the reaction. It is only used as a catalyst and does not participate in the reaction. After the reaction, it is converted into a lithium chloride solution and rises up.

Global key players of N-Butyl lithium include Livent, Albemarle, Jiangsu Changjili New Energy Technology Co., Ltd, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd, Shaoxing Shangyu Hualun Chemical Co., Ltd, etc. The top five players hold a share about 76%. Europe is the largest market for N-Butyl lithium and has a share about 42%, followed by China and North America, with share 27% and 17%, separately. In terms of product type, 15%~20% Solution is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 46%. In terms of application, Pharmaceutical Industry is the largest application, occupied for a share of 55%.
