Propylene Oxide Market by Application, Process, End-use Industry & Region – Global Forecast 2022 – Research and Markets

August 25, 2017

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Propylene
Oxide Market – Global Forecast 2022" report has been added to Research
and Markets' offering.

The propylene oxide market is projected to grow from USD 13.43 Billion
in 2017 to USD 17.53 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to
2022.

Increased demand for propylene oxide from the end-use industries such as
automotive, building & construction, textile & furnishing, chemical &
pharmaceutical, packaging, and electronics is expected to fuel the
growth of the propylene oxide market during the forecast period.
Propylene is the major raw material required for the production of
propylene oxide. It is manufactured from crude oil. Any change in the
cost of this basic raw material directly impacts the production chain of
propylene oxide. Hence, the volatility in the price of raw material acts
as a restraint on the growth of the propylene oxide market.

By application, the polyether polyols segment led the propylene oxide
market in 2016. The growth of this segment can be attributed to
increasing demand for polyurethane foam from the end-use industries,
such as automotive, building & construction, and textile & furnishing.

By production process, the chlorohydrin segment led the propylene oxide
market in 2016. The chlorohydrin production process is the oldest
propylene oxide production process. The Dow Chemical Company, which is
the largest producer of propylene oxide in the world, uses chlorohydrin
process for the production of propylene oxide.
