Global Pentaerythritol Market Highlights over 2022 – 2031
The global pentaerythritol market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. Pentaerythritol is a compound with five carbon atoms and four alcohol groups. It is scientifically written as C(CH2OH)4. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing application in the mining and quarrying, as it is used as an intermediate during the production of explosives. Moreover, it is also used as chemical intermediate to produce paints, plastics, and high-end surface coatings. Another major factor driving the market growth is the growing demand for paints in automotive and construction industry. Further, the growth in the end-use industries is also estimated to promote the market growth. For instance, the revenue share of the global construction industry totaled to approximately USD 6 trillion in 2020, which is expected to reach over USD 14.5 trillion in 2030. On the other hand, the global automotive manufacturing industry was sized at about USD 2.5 trillion in 2021. Such factors are estimated to boost the market growth.
The market is segmented by application into explosives, plastics, paints, cosmetics, and others, out of which, the paints segment is anticipated to hold a substantial share in the global pentaerythritol market over the forecast period on account of growing use of paints in the automotive and construction industries. Pentaerythritol is extensively used to manufacture paint owing to its properties, such as, high luster, and water and alkali resistance.
Major Macro-Economic Indicators Impacting the Market Growth
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favourable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labour as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
