According to the FMI analysis, the global isooctyl alcohol market witnessed a CAGR of 3.1% between 2018 and 2022. The market stands at USD 235.6 Million in 2023. The pandemic outbreak forced the suspension of various infrastructure projects and the complete shutdown of various industrial and manufacturing facilities. This has affected the global market by disrupting the supply and demand chains over the historical period.
The isooctyl alcohol industry is anticipated to foresee an increased CAGR of 3.7% between 2023 and 2033. Growing demand for isooctyl alcohol in petroleum additives or fuel additives for improving the octane rating of fuel and engine performance in terms of efficiency, acceleration, and maximum speed is expected to boost the target market. Rising consumption of packaged food & beverage products and the growth of packaging industry are also anticipated to fuel the demand for isooctyl alcohol during the forecast period.
Increasing demand from end-use industry is bolstering the sales of isooctyl alcohol
The high demand for plasticizers for the manufacturing of various end-use products is bolstering the demand for the product market during the forecast period. It is estimated that nearly 80% of the plasticizer produced is consumed for the production of polyvinyl chloride. Increasing consumption of plasticizers in the manufacturing of flexible PVC for numerous applications is expected to drive industry growth. Packed food & beverage packaging is one of the key applications that utilize a significant amount of PVC packaging.
Increasing penetration of organized retail, changing consumer lifestyles, rising urban population, and increasing demand for packed food and beverages, along with the advent of innovative packaging solutions, such as edible packaging, bioplastic packaging, active packaging, and modified packaging are a few factors opening new avenues for the packaging industry. On the other hand, the robust growth of the e-commerce sector and its increasing preference for lightweight and flexible packaging solutions is also anticipated to boost the consumption of isooctyl alcohol for the production of end-use products used to manufacture plastic packaging.
Stringent regulations imposed by regulatory bodies can limit the market expansion in forecast period
Stringent regulations imposed by the government and authorities against the manufacturing and use of hazardous chemicals are likely to control the growth of the product market to a certain extent. The adherence to various guidelines followed by the manufacturers to produce their products may affect and slow down the overall growth rate of the isooctyl alcohol market in the forecast period. The availability of several other substitute products is also expected to limit the market expansion over the forecast period.
