Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market Definition

Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market is an organic chemical produced when 4-methyl phenol is modified with tert-butyl groups at positions 2 and 6. The compound occurs generally in various sorts of bacteria, such as green algae. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) represses the autoxidation of unsaturated organic compounds. Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market has extensive applications in food production, beverages, pharmaceutical, agriculture/animal feed, and several others. Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market is utilized as a preservative element in remarkable foods. This Butylated Hydroxytoluene preserves freshness or limits spoilage. It may be also used to reduce the rate at which the texture, color, or flavor of food changes.

Some food companies have deliberately eliminated BHT from their products or have stated that they were going to phase it out. In the petroleum industry, where BHT is known as the fuel additive AO-29, it is used in water-pumping fluids, turbine and gear oils, and jet fuels. BHT is also used to limit peroxide synthesis in organic ethers and additional solvents and laboratory chemicals. Plastics and rubbers are the fastest-growing segments that can improve the growth of the Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene market. BHT has been proposed as an antiviral drug, but as of March 2020, the usage of BHT as a drug is not regulated by the scientific literature and it has not been authorized by any drug regulatory agency for employment as an antiviral.

Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market Overview

The Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market is predominantly driven by the increasing demand for butylated hydroxytoluene in various end-use industries as an antioxidant to retard deterioration, maintain color, stability, and flavor. The market is extensively used in cosmetic and personal care products as an antioxidant and stabilizing agent. Increasing personal care industry owing to rising consumer’s attention towards their appearance & personality and growing concern regarding water pollution and course of wastewater recycling is also driving Global Butylated Hydroxytoluene Market growth.

Additionally, the use of the market as an animal feed to improve disease immunity in animals accelerates the market growth. Intensifying demand for synthetic antioxidants because of their booming utilization for storing food products to extend shelf life will boost the market growth. However, the unfavorable effects of the market on humans and animals are hampering the market growth. Growing concerns due to the use of butylated hydroxytoluene in drinks and the food industry are also hindering the growth of the market.

The explosion of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption in the supply chain due to the global lockdown in various countries. There is a surge in the prices of petroleum sources, and thus para cresol is a raw material for the production of BHT. This may ultimately result in a price rise of BHT products. Knowledge regarding worker safety and security norms is posturing additional challenges to continuing normal operations by manufacturing industries. Nevertheless, rapid industrialization is leading to a rise in production activities, changing consumer lifestyles, and growing demand for processed foods, which is expected to create new opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
