Isobutylene Industry Is Poised to Registering a CAGR of 5% by 2030

Posted on by admin

The global isobutylene market is poised to embark on a positive growth trajectory, registering a CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period (2020-2030). Isobutylene is the largest C4 chemical produced during C4 cracking, accounting for over 50% of the global C4 chemical production in 2019. The scenario is projected to continue, owing to increasing consumption of isobutylene in the production of MTBE and ETBE.

Isobutylene is a highly versatile gas and is used as fuel additive, intermediate in butyl rubber, and in cosmetics, chemicals, and others. With the efficacy to act as an antioxidant, additive, intermediate and feedstock, isobutylene remains a material of choice among manufacturers in numerous industries.
