Global 2-Methylpropene Market Size By Product Type (Butyl Rubber, Polyisobutylene), By Application (Rubber Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals), By Geographic Scope And Forecast

2-Methylpropene Market Size And Forecast

2-Methylpropene market size was valued at around USD 29.67 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 46.23 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.12% from 2024 to 2030.

The growing demand for the hydrocarbons across the industrial sectors has witnessed an exponential growth since the past couple of decades considering the applications across various chemical Product Types. The market has witnessed substantial growth across the developing economies from the Asia Pacific such as China and India respectively. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the global 2-Methylpropene industry.

The reason for this is a disruption in supply networks in the chemical industry. The government has proposed a number of measures to aid the growth of the 2-Methylpropene industry and nullify the losses caused due to the pandemic. On the other hand, major corporations have ultimately found the new approaches and technologies to address issues and stabilize the industry. This will lead to a substantial market growth over the forecasted period.

Global 2-Methylpropene Market Definition

Isobutylene or 2-methylpropene is a hydrocarbon of industrial importance. It is one of the four isomers of butylene, an alkene with four carbon branching molecules (olefin). At optimal temperature and pressure, it is a colorless flammable gas but not highly flammable. Isobutylene is utilized as an intermediate in the making of a variation of product types. By reaction with methanol and ethanol, it is an antecedent to the gasoline oxygenates methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), respectively.

Alkylation with butane yields isooctane, another fuel additive. Isobutylene is additionally employed in the production of methacrolein. Polymerization of isobutylene yields butyl rubber (polyisobutylene or PIB). By Friedel-Crafts alkylation of phenols with isobutylene, antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are produced.

Global 2-Methylpropene Market Overview

A vital raw element in the creation of many plastics and polymers, such as polypropylene and butyl rubber, is 2-methylpropene. The need for 2-methylpropene has been driven by the rising demand for these materials in sectors like automotive, construction, packaging, and consumer products. Additionally, isobutylene is used to make a variety of fuel and lubricant additives, including alkylate gasoline, a high-octane fuel that is thought to be environmentally friendly. The demand for such additives has increased as a result of strict fuel economy and pollution requirements. In addition, new uses for isobutylene and its derivatives have been developed as a result of technological developments in polymer manufacturing processes, particularly in the creation of specialty polymers and elastomers. However, the manufacture of 2-methylpropene frequently depends on petrochemical feedstocks, and their prices might fluctuate due to changes in the price of crude oil and supply-demand imbalances. This volatility may have an impact on producers’ cost structures as well as the overall market.

Global 2-Methylpropene Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global 2-Methylpropene Market is Segmented on the Basis of Product Type, Application, And Geography.

2-Methylpropene Market, By Product Type

• Others

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Rubber Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Fuel and Lubricants, Adhesives and Sealants, and Others. It is anticipated that the fuel and lubricants would see the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecasted period under consideration. Besides this, the usage across rubber manufacturing applications will continue its dominance in the market even over the upcoming years. The demand across the pharma and construction applications such as adhesives and sealants will witness significant growth over the upcoming timeline.

2-Methylpropene Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Middle East and Africa
• Latin America

During the forecast period, it is anticipated that Asia Pacific will dominate the market. The reason behind the market dominance is an increase in demand for chemical and automotive manufacturing across the developing APAC countries mainly India, China, and other Southeast Asian countries. Besides this, the rising disposable incomes across the respective countries will further complement the market growth over the forecasted period. Europe will hold the second largest market share of global 2 Methylpropene (MTBE) owing to stringent government rules and environmental regulations by the European Commission regarding hydrocarbon consumption which has ultimately upsurged the prices associated with the 2 methylpropenes across the European countries. This has restricted the demand for the MTBE to a significant extent in the past decade.
