Global 1,3 Propanediol Market, By Product (Conventional, Bio-based), By Application (Polytrimethylene Terephthalate, Polyurethane, Personal Care & Detergents, Others), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa)

1,3-propanediol is a clear and colorless organic compound that finds various industrial applications. It is primarily used as a monomer for producing polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), which is a lightweight and breathable polyester fiber that serves as an alternative to conventional polyester. PTT finds usage in textiles, carpets, and many disposable nonwoven consumer goods. 1,3-propanediol is also used to produce polyurethanes, as it offers more flexibility compared to traditional diols. It serves as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care products to retain moisture.1,3 propanediol is a colorless liquid that is derived through the fermentation of sugars or sugary feedstocks. It is a building block for polymers and finds numerous applications in the textile, home care and personal care industries as a moisture retention agent, solvent and humectant. Growing demand from these end use sectors is anticipated to drive the demand for 1,3 propanediol over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

Global 1,3 propanediol market is projected to witness notable growth over the next few years. Surging demand from various end use industries such as textiles, home care, and personal care represents the primary driver for the market. 1,3 propanediol provides superior moisturizing and film-forming properties to personal care products. In textiles, it improves the properties of fabrics including flexibility and comfort. Furthermore, growing environmental concerns are prompting industries to shift from petroleum-based polymers to biobased alternatives like 1,3 propanediol, thereby providing new opportunities for market players. However, availability of substitutes may challenge market growth to some extent. Stringent regulations pertaining to fermentation processes also act as a restraint.
