The global Oxo Alcohol market segmentation, based on Product, includes N-butanol, 2-ethyl hexanol, and Isobutanol. N-butanol is a colorless and medium volatile liquid with a distinct sweet odor. It is mainly used as a solvent in paints, varnishes, coatings, fats, oils, waxes, and plasticizers. Isobutanol is a clear and neutral liquid with a characteristic sweet and musty odor. It is used as a solvent and feedstock in the manufacturing of plasticizers, printing inks, amino resin, and nitro-cellulose lacquers. 2-ethyl hexanol is a dark brown liquid with an aromatic floral fragrance.Â
Based on Application, the global Oxo Alcohol market segmentation includes Acrylates, Glycol Ethers, Acetates, Lube Oil Additives, Resins, Solvents, and Plasticizers. Acrylates manufactured from oxo alcohols are used as intermediate for packaging, textile, and automotive sectors. The global acrylate segment should register the highest CAGR by 2027 owing to a strong application outlook in the construction & coatings sector. This growth in demand can be attributed to changing lifestyles, infrastructural developments, increasing disposable incomes, and a rise in renovation & refurbishment activities. Moreover, Plasticizers are used as additives to enhance the fluidity or plasticity of the product.
