Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global 1,3-butylene Glycol market size was valued at US$ 236 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 381 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.0% during review period.
1,3-Butylene glycol, also known as butane-1,3-diol, is an organic compound. It is a diol, meaning it contains two hydroxyl groups, which give it unique chemical properties. This compound is a clear, colorless, and slightly viscous liquid that is highly soluble in water and exhibits low volatility. It is widely recognized for its versatility, finding application in various industries, particularly cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing.
From a chemical perspective, 1,3-butylene glycol is synthesized via several methods, including the catalytic hydrogenation of acetaldehyde or through microbial fermentation. Its low toxicity and compatibility with other compounds make it a preferred choice for numerous applications. The growing demand for sustainable and multifunctional ingredients has brought increased attention to 1,3-butylene glycol in recent years, driving its relevance in global markets.
The global beauty and personal care industry is experiencing significant growth, fueled by increasing consumer spending, urbanization, and awareness of skincare. This trend directly boosts the demand for 1,3-butylene glycol as a key ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
With growing environmental concerns, consumers and manufacturers are prioritizing sustainable and bio-based ingredients. This shift has led to the development of eco-friendly production methods for 1,3-butylene glycol, such as fermentation using renewable feedstocks.
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the rising demand for advanced drug formulations are driving the use of 1,3-butylene glycol in the pharmaceutical sector. Its role as a stabilizer and solvent in medications ensures its continued relevance in this field.
Geographically, the market operates on a global scale, with significant contributions from regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Asia-Pacific, in particular, dominates the market due to its robust manufacturing base and the increasing consumer demand for cosmetics and personal care products in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea.
The scope of the market is also expanding due to the rising consumer preference for natural and sustainable ingredients. Manufacturers are increasingly investing in research and development to explore bio-based production methods, aligning with global sustainability goals and regulatory frameworks that encourage environmentally friendly practices.
The global consumption market is concentrated in China and North Americas, Europe. The China accounts about 40% share of the global consumption, followed by North Americas (28%) and Europe (20%) in 2024. There are few companies in the 1,3-Butanediol industry currently.
