N-Butanol Market & APAC Seed Treatment Industry Trends and Forecasts to 2018



The report “N-Butanol Market By Applications (Butyl Acrylate, Butyl Acetate, Glycol Ethers, and Others) & Geography-Global Trends & Forecasts to 2018″ & “Asia-Pacific Seed Treatment Market By Type (Chemical & Non-Chemical), By Application (Fungicide, Insecticide, Bio-Control And Others) And By Crop (Cereals, Oilseeds And Others): Trends, Forecasts And Technical Insights Up To 2018” by MarketsandMarkets is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com .
N-Butanol Market Trends & Forecasts to 2018
The global market for n-butanol has grown significantly during the past few years and is expected to grow at a more rapid pace in the next five years, mainly driven by the growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. China consumed around 34.8% of the global n-butanol demand in 2012. Production facilities of n-butanol are majorly concentrated in Europe and North America, which are the key exporting regions. Middle East is expected to be a big market in the near future mainly due to focused efforts by their governments to attract various chemical and petrochemical companies.
Competitive scenario and market shares of the top players in the n-butanol market are discussed in detail. We have also profiled leading players of this industry with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities. These include : BASF SE (Germany), The DOW Chemical Company (U.S.), OXEA GmbH (Germany), Sasol Ltd (South Africa), Formosa Plastics Corp (Taiwan), KH Neochem Co Ltd (Japan), BASF-PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia), Eastman Chemical Company (U.S.), CNPC (China), INEOS Oxide Ltd (U.S.), Perstorp Holding AB (Sweden), Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan), and Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company (Saudi Arabia).
N-butanol or normal butanol is a primary alcohol with 4-carbon structure and molecular formula C4H9OH. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature. N-butanol is manufactured commercially by oxo synthesis of propylene with syngas, in the presence of catalyst, to give aldehydes. The intermediate aldehydes are further hydrogenated to give n-butanol and iso-butanol as by-products. It is a major feedstock for the industrial manufacturing of various chemicals including butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, glycol ethers, and plasticizers. These chemicals find a wide range of applications in water-based coatings, cosmetics, car care products, lacquers, pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc. N-butanol is also used as a direct solvent in paints, dyes, varnishes, coatings, and for other industrial purposes. Over exposure to n-butanol may cause irritation to human body. Hence, various health organizations are involved in continuously monitoring the exposure levels.
Asia-Pacific Seed Treatment Market Trends, Forecasts And Technical Insights Up To 2018
Chemical seed treatments, which are typically manufactured from petrochemical or inorganic raw materials, are further segmented as insecticides, fungicides, and other chemical seed treatments. The market is dominated by chemical insecticides, accounting for over 52.2% of the total seed treatment demand in 2012. The fungicide seed treatments market is growing at a CAGR of 10.6% and is expected to reach $102.7 million by 2018. The insecticides seed treatment market is projected to reach $163.9 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 11.7%
This report estimates the Asia-Pacific seed treatment market in terms of revenue. The market has been further segmented on the basis of crop types such as cereals and grains, oilseeds, and other crops, as well as by the sub-segmentation of insecticides, fungicides, and other chemical seed treatments such as plant growth regulators, and micronutrients. This segmentation is given for major regions and key countries in those regions. Market drivers, restraints and challenges, and crop trends are discussed in detail. Market share by participants for the overall market is discussed in detail in the report. We have also profiled leading players of this industry including Nufarm (Australia), Sumitomo Chemical Company Ltd. (Japan), and Monsanto (U.S.).
The seed treatment market consists of crop protection chemicals or agrochemicals, specifically for seeds, and genetically modified (GM) crop-seeds. Crop protection chemicals are the most dominating segment of this market in terms of market share as well as product innovations. Seed treatment market is further classified as insecticides (chemical), fungicides (chemical), bio-control seed treatments, and other seed treatment chemicals.
Rising GM seed prices and cost effectiveness of seed treatments over other crop protection methods are expected to drive the demand for the seed treatment market in the near future. However, an absence of centralized government regulations for treated seed and seed treatment active ingredient registration are expected to hamper the growth and demand for seed treatments in the next five years.
