Furfural Market by Raw Material (Corncobs, Cotton Hulls, Rice Hulls), Process (Chinese Batch Process, Quaker Batch Process, Rosenlew Continuous Process), Application, End-Use Industry - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Furfural Market size was estimated at USD 746.48 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 778.96 million in 2024, at a CAGR 4.41% to reach USD 1,010.31 million by 2030.

Global Furfural MarketThe furfural market encompasses the global production, distribution, and trade of furfural, an organic compound primarily derived from agricultural byproducts such as corncobs, oat hulls, rice husk, bagasse, and sawdust. The increasing investments made in the development of the agriculture sector and the need for fertilizers have increased the demand for furfural products. The surging demand for bio-based plastics and paints enhances the adoption of furfural products. The utilization of furfural as a food flavoring and fragrance in personal care products contributes to the demand for furfural products. However, the complexity of the manufacturing process of furfural products may limit the product demand. The toxic nature of furfural and its adverse effects on human health are also factors of concern for market adoption. The ongoing research to expand the application scope of furfural products and the development of new technologies for production is anticipated to generate significant growth potential for the market.Regional InsightsIn the Americas, the United States is a significant furfural market due to its application in producing furfural-alcohol resins used in plastics and as a solvent for the pharmaceutical industry. The Americas region shows an increase in demand for bio-based chemicals, which is expected to drive furfural market growth. In Europe, the focus on sustainable chemicals is very pronounced, with stringent environmental regulations driving the market for furfural. European countries are at the forefront of initiatives for circular economies and reducing carbon footprints within the chemical industry, which supports the growth of the furfural market. The Asia Pacific region has a strong manufacturing and consumer base for furfural products, driven by strong market demand in countries such as China, Japan, and India. The APAC region presents a competitive market with customer purchasing behavior inclined towards sustainable and environmentally friendly products.
