Furfural Market Dynamics:
Increasing demand of Furfural alcohol: Furfural alcohol is a substance produced from furfural. Because of its high reactivity, furfural alcohol is essential in the manufacturing of foundry sand binders. For many decades, this alcohol has been widely utilized to make metal cores and molds. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), which is frequently utilized in the pharmaceutical business, is also made from it. According to the World Foundry Organization, India's foundry sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.0 to 14.0 % until 2027, making it the world's second-largest behind China. As a result, the rising foundry business is driving up demand for furfuryl alcohol, which is driving up prices. Availability of crude oil-based alternatives: The market for furfural is being stifled by the availability of crude oil-based rival products that are cheaper. Furan resin is used to make binders in the foundry sector. According to some key responses, phenolic resin, which is made from crude oil, is less expensive than furan resin. Butanediol (BDO) is also used in the textile sector to make polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), which is used to make spandex. THF, a furfural derivative, can be used to manufacture spandex, however because of the higher cost associated with furfural manufacturing, it is less preferred than BDO. Emerging demand for furfural derivatives (apart from furfuryl alcohol) in various applications: Due to its high strength and elastic qualities, spandex is seeing an increase in demand from the textile and garment industries. In recent years, the spandex fibres market has benefited from changes in the textile sector and rising health consciousness. This will most likely fuel the demand for PTMEG, a THF application. Furfural is used to make THF, which is one of the furan derivatives. Another chemical created from PTMEG is polyurethane (PU). PU is utilized in a variety of industries, including apparel, appliances, automotive, construction, flooring, furniture, marine, and medical. Furfural is an important renewable, non-petroleum based, chemical feedstock. It can be converted into a variety of solvents, polymers, fuels and other useful chemicals by a range of catalytic reductions. Furfural is produced from agricultural waste biomass that contains pentosans, which are aldose sugars composed of small rings formed from short, five-member chains. These aldose sugars constitute a class of complex carbohydrates. The Strong alteration towards the development of bio-based chemicals on account of volatile petrochemical prices and growing environmental concerns is a key driver behind the growth of global furfural market. Furfural is used as a solvent in refining of lubrication oils, extraction of butadiene, and chemical extraction processes of different types. Rapid growth of the construction industry is expected to augment the demand for furfural for the use in various refractory materials such as fiberglass composites, ceramics, and bricks in the near future. Depletion of fossil fuel resources is driving the demand for sustainable products. This, in turn, is boosting the demand for furfural worldwide.Global Furfural Market Segment Analysis:
Based on the raw material, The Sugarcane Bagasse segment accounted for the largest share in the furfural market in 2017 followed by Corn cob. Sugarcane is a tree-free renewable resource. Sugarcane bagasse is the major by-product of the sugar cane industry. It contains about 50% cellulose, 25% hemicellulose and 25% lignin. Due to its abundant availability, it can serve as an ideal substrate for microbial processes for the production of value-added products such as furfural. Furfural based on corn cob and sugarcane bagasse raw materials together accounted for half of the market share in 2015, in terms of revenue. Based on end-user, the global furfural market is sub-segmented into Agriculture, Refineries, and Pharmaceuticals. The Refineries segment held largest share of xx% in 2020. Its significant consumption as a solvent in petroleum refining, specialty adhesives, and lubricants accounts for this high percentage. In the agrochemical sector, furfural is widely used as an insecticide, nematicide, and fungicide. It's found in a variety of nematicides, such as crop protectors and crop guards. In horticulture, the substance is also used as a weed killer. It's a low-concentration contact nematicide that's mechanically integrated or transported into the soil during irrigation. It's a somewhat safe pesticide that's simple to use.Based on the application, Furfuryl alcohol application segment accounted the major share of furfural market and it is expected to dominate the market during forecast period. Furfuryl alcohol is the most important application of Furfural. At present, approximately 88 percent of all furfural produced is converted to furfuryl alcohol attributed to demand for this product in the production of foundry resins. Furfural as a solvent is the second largest application for furfural globally. Furfural is used to manufacture tetrahydrofuran (THF), which is precursor for a wide range of chemical syntheses.
